Rumored leak emerges of Atlanta Braves' 2025 All-Star Game logo
The rumored logo for the 2025 MLB All-Star game has allegedly leaked online.
The 2024 MLB All-Star Game festivities provided fans with a lot of action over the last few days. A newly formatted Home Run Derby added some drama and the ASG itself saw the game's biggest stars showcase their skills. Shohei Ohtani homered to give the National League an early lead, but the American League answered back and won the exhibition with a 5-3 final.
Still, fans were a bit disgruntled throughout, announcing their displeasure with the uniform design for this year's game, which blighted the amazing action. The jerseys were intended to be a nod to the 1933 uniforms from the first-ever MLB All-Star Game. However, the uniforms were widely viewed as a whiff, and fans were left clamoring for MLB to change things by next season in Atlanta. Needless to say, next summer's logo will be highly anticipated.
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper might've sparked changes for the 2025 All-Star Game. During the media scrum before the All-Star festivities began, Harper was asked for his thoughts on the controversial uniforms. He responded similarly to fans about loving players donning their team's uniform and stated, “If we could change back to that,” Harper said, “I think it would be really cool.”
Players used to wear a designed uniform for workouts and events like the Home Run Derby. However, for the game itself, they would wear their respective team's uniform, and that's something many fans would like to see again.
Harper's comments reached MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and he is "aware of the sentiment" around things going back to how they were before the change. According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, Manfred stated there "will be conversations".
It would be wonderful to see players representing their teams and cities once more. So, all eyes will be on the uniform choices as Atlanta releases their plans for 2025, and we may have just gotten our first hint.
Atlanta Braves 2025 All-Star Game logo rumored to have leaked
X user Braves After Dark shared an image of a t-shirt with the rumored 2025 ASG logo on the front. It apparently appeared on the Fanatics website in recent days, which is the company that fulfills pretty much every merch need for Major League Baseball.
It looks WAY better than the mess that fans got for the 2024 All-Star Game and even features the iconic Atlanta font that can be seen on the team's caps and uniforms. It looks fantastic and would be perfect for all of the other events held during the All-Star break.
The Braves are hosting an event before their game against the Reds on July 22 at Truist Park to officially reveal the logo. Before the logo reveal, there will be a pregame parade to entertain fans with Braves All-Star alumni.
If Rob Manfred and MLB listen to fans and change it back to players wearing their own uniforms, it would work wonders for them. Fans and players alike would be appeased and everything would feel right. Seeing those iconic Braves uniforms amongst all of the sport's best athletes would hit just right at Truist Park next Summer, and this leaked logo seems like a step in the correct (and traditional) direction, as long as Manfred follows through on his recent hints.
