Baseball’s back, and so are the pregame looks and on-field specialties. With the excitement of Opening Weekend, players typically bring their fashion A-games, getting fans excited for the outfits to come as the season goes on. 

This year’s opening weekend provided a variety of outfits, ranging from fancy suits to tributes to those who have passed away recently. On the field, players are showcasing their personalities and debuting new jersey’s for the season. Here are just a few of the best looks from the opening weekend of the 2025 MLB season.

Aaron Judge is consistently one of the best dressed players in the game, and his Opening Day suit was no exception. While many New York Yankees players have abandoned the pregame suit in recent years, Judge keeps this memory alive on Opening Day.

While it may seem like Christian Yelich is just wearing a plaid suit, it was his chance to honor former Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker. Uecker, the Brewers legend, passed away in January after battling lung cancer.

After a long offseason full of TikToks for Bryce Harper, he took the opportunity to show up in style on Opening Day. Harper’s patchwork jacket was unique and something that no other player took a chance on this year.

As a team, the Washington Nationals debuted their new City Connect jerseys this past Saturday. These jerseys are the first City Connects to be debuted this season and replace the original cherry blossom jerseys from 2021. While the cherry blossom jerseys are hard to replace, these jerseys have had a great impact on fans so far.

For his first cleat design of the season, Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler decided to pay tribute to Rickey Henderson. Henderson was a legend for the Oakland A’s and passed away at the end of 2024. These cleats were a perfect way to honor Henderson, especially in the first season that the Athletics will not be calling Oakland home.
