MLB fans took to Twitter with mixed reviews for the new-look jerseys. Fans were split with many unimpressed with the look.
@MLB @Mariners Go back to every team wearing their own lol
@MLB @Mariners It goes hard but it looks like a soccer jersey ๐
@MLB @Mariners I donโt like them. Looks like a mariners jersey
@MLB @Mariners In Seattle, we only allow blue and green. Thatโs the law.
@MLB @Mariners Definitely fits the Seattle vibe. Iโm cool with it ๐ฅ

@MLB @Mariners better than last year for sure
@MLB @Mariners Hmm I mean they look cool, but last years all star jerseys were 10x better because of the gold in them.
The jerseys are in line with the green and blue look that all Seattle teams follow. The Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, Kraken, Sounders and Storm all use some combination of green and blue.
Seattle's T-Mobile Park will host the 2023 MLB All-Star Game on July 11
The 93rd edition of the All-Star Game will take place in Seattle, Washington, at T-Mobile Park. The home of the Seattle Mariners has a seating capacity of just under 48,000.
This will be the second time the stadium will be home to the prestigious event, previously hosting the game back in 2001. The Midsummer Classic was first hosted in Seattle back in 1979 but was played at the Kingdome which was a multipurpose stadium previously used by the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks.

Last year, the American League edged out the National League 3-2 with the New York Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton winning the All-Star Game MVP award.
