According to Uni-Watch.com, a supply chain issue kept Major League Baseball from getting enough patches for the jerseys sold in stores. Due to this problem, the league decided to keep patches off altogether.
Even though the World Series patch is missing from both teams’ jerseys, the patch is featured on their hats. Fans have the opportunity to buy those hats with the patches on them.
