Major League Baseball unveiled the full lineup of 2017 special event uniforms on Tuesday, displaying what teams will wear during spring and summer holiday weekends and special MLB events.

The entirety of each holiday weekend — Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day — will be spent in newly designed uniforms for each MLB club for the first time.

MLB will donate its licensed uniform royalties connected to charitable initiatives, with proceeds going to Susan G. Komen on Mother’s Day, Prostate Cancer Foundation on Father’s Day, Stand Up To Cancer on both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and MLB Charities on Memorial Day and Independence Day.

Mother’s Day Weekend (May 13–14)

The uniforms will again incorporate pink into the regular logos, with all caps highlighted by a graphite crown and pink visor. Each club can also choose from two different pairs of pink-infused socks.

Memorial Day Weekend (May 27 — 29)

New Era created a special cap for the ninth consecutive year, while Majestic designed a matching jersey for the fifth straight year. MLB again plans to participate in the National Moment of Remembrance through which ballparks on Memorial Day will conduct moments of silence and special pregame ceremonies.

All-Star Game (July 11)

New Era, in conjunction with MLB, created a new cap design theme for the fourth straight year in the All-Star Game. The caps have a gold team logo with a differing shadow tech heather-colored crown and All-Star Game side patch. Another new addition is the patch on the left sleeve of the jerseys worn during the All-Star Game — a black and gold star with a number in the middle that correlates to each player’s total career All-Star appearances.
