"We have told teams, in terms of actual uniforms, hats, bases, that we don’t think putting logos on them is a good idea just because of the desire to protect players, not putting them in a position of doing something that may make them uncomfortable because of their personal views," he told The Washington Post.

Manfred added that it is a "local decision," saying that every team knows their market well enough to either have a Pride Night or not.
