So I was thinking this too but going back looking at the first road trip of the year, it looks like it’s in players lockers.
i think the players might just hate the jersey.
I wonder if they "sent" it back to get the shade darker. I noticed during Spring Training that it was much lighter than the Twins jersey.
I also wonder if Nike somehow dropped the ball and used the color palette from pre-2017 and that's why the navy jersey and the current outline on the home and away jerseys are so much lighter.
I actually did an article on this last month breaking the story about the Braves changing their sleeve piping to a sleeve stripe.

The Mississippi Braves still use the pre-2016 Braves script. You can tell by the shape of the A and where the placket break is.
pre-2015 Braves:
Post-2016 Braves:
It's hard to tell, but the Braves made have tweaked their away alternate. This jersey doesn't have placket piping and the sleeve piping is red. The current(?) has silver piping.
This might be a Spring Training only jersey but it's new either way, and I thought Nike was doing away with Spring Training jerseys.
Uni-Watch with the leaks. I do wish there was an alternate cap for these.
