Who pays for all these

[GP6971]

uniform changes? Throwback days, breast cancer awareness and now 4th of July. Are the teams on the hook or does MLB pick up the tab?

1. The clubs pick it up, most likely from ESPN money.

5. That makes sense

like "street" money in the grocery industry.

2. You/We do as taxpayers in a large part. Major level pro teams have special tax codes.

9. Let alone all the publicly financed stadiums n/t

3. Considering players' salaries, I don't think it much of an issue for teams.

6. GP6971, you have no idea

Go to your favorite club's website and click on the "Shop" link. You can buy replicas of all the jerseys the team wears. Plus tees, caps and all the rest...and people buy the hell out of those things.

When the "game used" jerseys come on the market, you'll be able to buy the actual jerseys the team wore.

It's all advertising.

7. No doubt

I stay away from any club house stores...they're a rip off.
