"As part of Major League Baseball's return to the 2023 jersey template, we approved a design for our home white jerseys, which Fanatics produced exactly to our specs. Once they were produced and seen in person, we felt there should be more spacing between the lettering and piping,"
"In collaboration with MLB and Fanatics, we're adjusting the home whites to achieve this separation. The updated jerseys will be ready for Opening Day. We are grateful to our partners for their ongoing support."

Photos from Picture Day revealed Boston's home white jerseys for 2026 with 'RED' and 'SOX' lettering appearing to overlap the central red piping, prompting fan backlash. Major League Baseball returned to the 2023 jersey template for these uniforms. Fanatics manufactured the jerseys to the approved specifications. Inspection of the produced jerseys identified insufficient spacing between the lettering and piping. MLB, Fanatics, and the Red Sox will adjust the home whites to increase separation. Updated jerseys are scheduled to be ready for Opening Day. The original design selection came from the Red Sox and Fanatics executed production to those specifications.
