Recently, major league sports teams nationwide have put forth initiatives to celebrate several international and national holidays. The NBA mandated all teams celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, and the MLB recently announced its plans to utilize special holiday uniforms during the 2016 season, according to ESPN.

Special-event jerseys will highlight the following holidays:
