MLB's USA-Themed Uniforms, Hats, Jersey Patches Revealed in New Photos Featuring Ohtani for July 4

Patriotic hats have become an annual tradition for MLB's July 4 games, and now the league is upping the ante to coincide with the United States' 250th birthday.

Along with the specialized caps, the jerseys will include a USA 250 sleeve patch and American flag numbering:

MLB is following the NFL and NBA in utilizing the USA 250 patch. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots had it sewn into their uniforms for Super Bowl LX, and it was included on the jerseys for the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.

Chris Creamer of SportsLogos.net noted the Toronto Blue Jays will feature the USA 250 branding despite playing north of the border. Their cap logo will, however, be red and white instead of featuring the stars and stripes of the U.S. flag.

All 30 MLB teams will be in action on July 4. The action gets started early as first pitch for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. ET. The last game will get underway at 10:10 p.m. as the San Diego Padres head north to play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
