Already somewhat of a hot-button topic after being moved from Atlanta to Denver following Georgia’s passage of discriminatory voting laws, the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is once again stirring up controversy, albeit for a far more trivial reason.
Leading to much mockery, MLB unveiled the caps and jerseys players will be wearing for the annual Midsummer Classic next month at Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies.
As a nod to the state hosting the game, MLB — which has had a number of uniform failures during the tenure of commissioner Rob Manfred — outfitted the jerseys with the letters “COL” for Colorado and put a purple star with a mountain design behind the team logos on the All-Star hats.
