Yahoo Sports Great Britain's World Baseball Classic jerseys roasted by fans
Twitter roasts Great Britain's World Baseball Classic jerseys originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Great Britain is making its World Baseball Classic debut in 2023.
But the British aren't exactly arriving to the international tournament in style.
As Great Britain opened play against Team USA on Saturday night, it did so while sporting some unimpressive jerseys.
The threads are gray and simply feature "Great Britain" in plain blue text across the center.
Fans on Twitter had a field day with the simple design.

Who designed Great Britain’s jerseys? They could’ve pretended to care…. #WBC2023

Big fan of the Great Britain jerseys going with the Times New Roman font on the front.

They really opened a word document and typed Great Britain using Arial Black font and slapped it on a jersey pic.twitter.com/wPRZEPG4yF

Great Britain's home run celebration, on the other hand, is much more creative.
Trayce Thompson took Adam Wainwright deep in the first inning to give Great Britain a 1-0 lead over Team USA at Chase Field in Phoenix. When Thompson returned to the dugout, he was given a crown and cape.

Whoever came up with that celebration should have been in charge of designing the jerseys.
