The New York Yankees debuted new uniforms Thursday that excluded the white piping that outlined the words "New York" and the jersey numbers that had been on their road jerseys since 1973.

The design change was made after Major League Baseball changed the material of its jerseys.

The new jerseys got flak in spring training by some players criticizing the "cheap" look of smaller last names on the backs of jerseys.

The Yanks don't have last names on their jerseys, but even their uniforms look a mess.

The Yanks opened their season in Houston, and players have been sweating bullets through their jerseys.

The jerseys are getting plenty of attention. Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti of WFAN, the radio network that broadcasts Yankees games, ripped them.

"I’m watching the game, and I’m thinking, ‘Damn, those uniforms, they just look so plain,’" Esiason said Friday. "You could see the sweat. They are awful. … I’ve never seen guys sweat through the uniforms like that."

"I had forgotten about [the jerseys] for a while," Gio responded. "But they’re terrible."
