WBC fans roast Team Great Britain's horrendous World Baseball Classic uniform designs

Team Great Britain's first WBC journey has gotten underway against tournament favorites Team USA. But regardless of the sport, nothing unites sports lovers like poking fun at the Brits. And this time around, WBC fans have a good enough reason for that.

Team Great Britain decided to take the field sporting the dullest uniforms in baseball, and WBC Twitter had a field day with it.

They really opened a word document and typed Great Britain using Arial Black font and slapped it on a jersey https://t.co/wPRZEPG4yF

The first tweet...and it's a no-doubter

@TalkinBaseball_ just like their food, bland
@TalkinBaseball_ With clip art Britain flag for some flavor

Talk about making your feelings clear

Great Britain’s jerseys. https://t.co/mfPYB1NY0t
Me when my commander asks me to "whip up a slide" for the meeting that's in an hour twitter.com/TalkinBaseball…
"Is there any way to generate an 'Eat Tain'?" twitter.com/TalkinBaseball… https://t.co/FdDOt28eY8
These jerseys have about as much flavor as beans on toast twitter.com/talkinbaseball…

One user pointed out the lack of funding in Great Britain baseball

This is funny but in all seriousness GB baseball needs more funding 😭 twitter.com/talkinbaseball…

But. as this user said, these uniforms are poor even for Just Okay Britain

I’d hate to see the jerseys for Just Okay Britain. twitter.com/talkinbaseball…
Arial Black would’ve arguably looked better. twitter.com/talkinbaseball…

These are so bad it’s distracting. twitter.com/talkinbaseball…

Why is Trace Thompson playing for Team Great Britain?

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson's eligibility is because his father was born in the Bahamas. Bahamas is considered a parliamentary constitutional monarchy and considers the King of England the head of their state. Therefore, their athletes are able to compete for Great Britain.
