Ten best professional baseball uniforms
2005 Washington Nationals
I don’t care what anyone thinks. I like these unies. It’s a pretty kewl combo of the classic Washington “W” logo from the days of the Senators with the new Nationals team name and logo. The only problem with Washington is that they have way too many logos. They’ve got the “Nationals” logo, the W, some DC logo…it kinda dilutes the kewlness of it all.
1978 Milwaukee Brewers
’78 was the dawn of one of the great baseball logos of all time: the Brewers ball and mitt. Prior to this year, they had just a plain “M” on their hats. They added the logo and stuck to the baby blue pullover jersey. Too hot to handle.
1927 St. Louis Cardinals
The 1927 Cards were the last team to make use of what had actually been somewhat common for awhile back in the early 1900s. After winning the World Series, they added “World Champions” to their logo. I’m half-surprised Steinbrenner never picked up on that idea.
1963 Kansas City Athletics
This is from back when they were using kelly green instead of that forest shit Oakland uses now. This is a man’s jersey.
1979 Philadelphia Phillies
From what I understand, Philadelphia only rolled the maroon bad boys out for one game. The pitcher did so badly that they never wore them again. It’s a crying damn shame. Baseball had been waiting for a full maroon team, from hat to socks. The White Sox shorts were a one game shame, but these would have hot. Nonetheless, for whatever reason, the Phillies stuck with the pin stripes at home and the blue away jerseys.
1943 All-American Girls League
Sliding in skirts? Hells yeah, man. Looks oddly similar to that White Sox in shorts outfit, doesn’t it?
1938 Brooklyn Dodgers
The birth of a classic. In 1938, Brooklyn abandoned the green trim they’d been using for the cursive Dodgers logo and the Brooklyn B. The ole trolley dodgers have never looked back.
1917 Flagged Motif
When the U.S. entered the Great War, Major League Baseball showed their support by adding a flagged motif onto the sleeve of all their uniforms. The trend was picked up again after 9/11, but the 1917 flag was not only an original idea but a hell of a lot kewler.
1978 San Diego Padres
The late seventies had to be the high water mark as far as baseball uniforms are concerned. This sucker’s a classic. It’s a shame that the Pawds eventually ditched the brown and gold in favor of blue and white. Horrid. I’ve gotta get one of these throwbacks at Lids or someplace.
1975 Houston Astros
BAD ASS. There have been few uniforms more bold than this classic right here. Can’t decide what color you want your team to be? Fuck all, we’re using all of them!

This sure took a long time to post. But I guess since most of your faves are from before 1960 that makes a difference. Glad to see the Girls made it and always happy to see the Washington Nationals on the list. If any of you boys ever get to DC I'll take you to the ballfield, but bring your mace cause it's in one of the worst neighborhoods in the country. Sad that a ball field named after RFK is a neighborhood that dilapidated and no one cares, as long as there car doesn't get stolen from the lot.
No? I'm not a fan of your constant confusion of "here" and "hear," but I deal with it. Besides, you can't shorten it down to "Pads" without it looking like a soft "a."
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Brett, darling, I know you're busy and all but it might be time for a new post.
