Was George Constanza put in charge of purchasing these new uniforms?

Responding to player complaints that they feel hot in their uniforms, George convinces Yankees manager Buck Showalter to replace polyester with cotton as the material for the team's uniforms. The players are enthusiastic about the new uniforms and show noticeably improved performance in games.

Jerry and George flip over to the Yankees game and see the team is playing horribly because their cotton uniforms have shrunk.

The uniforms weren't broken until MLB and Fanatics decided to break them.

Fanatics is not making them instead of Majestic which is owned by Fanatics.

So it looks like Fanatics is delivering a cheaper product for both the players and fans.

The Yankee away jerseys is a good example by eliminating the piping on the sleeve.
