It’s Mother’s Day here in North America, which means we’ll see pink-themed baseball caps and ribbons on the uniforms of Major League Baseball players, coaches, managers, and umpires during games played on Sunday, May 12th.

This will be the eighth season in which MLB teams wear pink caps. The tradition started in 2016 and has continued each year through 2024, with the exception of the pandemic-shortened season in 2020. When the pink caps were first introduced, they were paired with pink jerseys, but that practice was discontinued after just two years. Big league ballclubs started wearing pink ribbons for Mother’s Day on their jerseys in 2005.
The cap design this year has each team wearing their primary team colour as the crown, visor, and button colour (all three are one colour regardless of what a team usually does with these elements). The pink comes into play on the team’s logo, with most clubs making their entire logo pink, with some adding a bit of white for detailing, trim, or drop shadows.
Here’s a look at all thirty club designs:
Anything of note here? The Mariners are going with their royal blue “fauxback” cap, which will match better with their Sunday home jersey. The all-one-colour cap base gives us an all-black Baltimore Orioles cap, which we typically never see with this logo.

As always, Major League Baseball will donate 100% of its royalties from the on-field Mother’s Day caps to MLB Charities. MLB Charities will then donate those funds to Stand Up To Cancer and Susan G. Komen in the fight against breast cancer.
