context_page_description: Players Weekend is an annual Major League Baseball event in which players on all 30 MLB teams wear colorful baseball uniforms based on youth sports designs and sport nicknames on the back of their jerseys during regular season games. The league also relaxes the rules for cleats, batting gloves, wristbands, compression sleeves, catcher's masks, and bats, allowing players to use custom-designed gear. The multi-day event is designed to give players the opportunity to express their personal style, appeal to the youth demographic, and acquaint hometown fans with newer team members.
  In a departure from previous seasons, the 2019 event saw monochromatic uniforms and caps. The all-white or all-black apparel was intended to make logos and accessories, which players were allowed to customize, stand out more.
