A statement from Major League Baseball and the MLB Players’ Association said Players Weekend is a “player-focused event” in which players will wear uniforms with non-traditional colors and have the opportunity to have a nickname on the back of their jersey.

In addition, players can wear uniquely-colored compression sleeves, gloves, cleats and more.

The weekend is Aug. 25 to 27.
