Old habits die hard.

Michael Chavis, who was sent from the Boston Red Sox to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline, made his big-league debut with his new club on Monday. He appeared for in their game Tuesday night as well.

While he's finally rocking a Pirates uniform after starting his run with the organization in the minors, he inadvertently revealed that he isn't suited up in full just yet.

Chavis shared a photo to his Instagram story on Tuesday, and by the looks of it, he hasn't received a Pirates duffel bag. He's using a Red Sox bag, but he made an effort to hide the old markings with masking tape. He finished the job by writing "Pirates" over it -- complete with some pirate sound effects and a drawing.

For what it's worth, Chavis had a great night on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 with a solo home run as the Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, getting the start at second base. Maybe that's enough for him to secure the bag.
