Why aren't these this season's Players' Weekend gear?! Why?
These jerseys perfectly replicate the Little League feel that MLB is trying to bring with this annual showcase.
With the Little League World Series running from Aug. 15-25, the kids will get an awesome opportunity to attend a big league game with a slight youthful spin of its own.
The Little League World Series classic will take place on Aug. 18 in Williamsport, PA at 7:00 p.m., so that's when fans will have a chance to see these in action.
OK, these rule. Wish all 30 teams had them. https://t.co/NlOrsyhY3V

Many new jersey designs in sports get a lot of flak from fans across social media, but it's really hard to find anything wrong with these gems.
We're already looking forward to seeing the NL Central rivals duke it out while wearing their freshly designed gear.
