Major League Baseball (MLB) is one of the most watched sports in the United States. Aside from the game and the players, one of the things that the crowd looks forward to is seeing the team uniforms, especially at the start of the MLB season.
For some, uniforms are just what they are: something to identify a person or team. But for many others, especially players, baseball jerseys are more than identification. They define a person and a team. They increase the confidence and morale of a team.
For MLB fans, baseball jerseys are like a fashion statement. They are buttoned shirts with unique designs. In other words, they can be used outside of the game. You can wear them on a normal day and manage to look fashionable.
To give you an idea of which baseball jersey you should have in your closet, we’ve decided to rank the top FIVE based on design, logo, color, and impact on the crowd.
The most impressive uniforms in the MLB
Of the 30 teams, here are the top five with the most impressive uniforms:
New York Yankees
Part of the reason the Yankees uniform tops the list is familiarity. No matter where you are in the world, you will always find people wearing the Yankees cap. And then of course the pinstripes. Blue pinstripes are a kind of trademark. It is something that has made it easy for some people to identify baseball, especially those who are not yet very familiar with the teams and the game. And mind you, Yankees pinstripes look good. They add to the “cool” factor. Imagine Derek Jeter walking right in front of you in his pinstripe suit!
The Yankees logo also stands out. It has become a symbol of the city. It is easy to recognize and looks really clean and neat, pleasing to the eye.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals uniform is a classic. His white home jersey, showing the red birds perched on the yellow bat, truly represents the team. The Cardinals recently introduced a throwback off-white uniform. The birds are still on the top of the bat, but instead of “St. Louis Cardinals” printed on the front, it’s just “St. Louis.” The birds and the bat look better too. Fans love the throwback, but many say white is still their favorite.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The simple script and logo on the Dodgers uniform is what defines the team. His style is attractive. It has a growing effect on you. The blue and white colors also make the uniform look refreshing. Player numbers (on the front) are in red, but do not break the effect. The numbers stand out but aren’t dazzling.
Boston Red Sox
The biggest and most obvious reason to choose the Red Sox uniform is its simplicity. It hasn’t gone through many changes over the years, but Red Sox players can still stand out in a crowd of thousands. The combination of white, red and blue must have something to do with it.
Oakland Athletics
Not many may agree with this choice, but the A’s uniform made it to this list for a reason: its colors are distinctive. The team’s signature colors (California Gold, Hunter Green and White) feature prominently in the evolution of their jerseys. Your color schemes are yours and yours alone; nobody thought to use them. And the team used them well.
The style of the Oakland Athletics jersey is like a mix of classic and modern. Perfect for baseball.
You may have your own definition of an awesome baseball uniform, but this list can help give you an idea of which ones to look at first. Whichever team uniform you decide is the best, you should buy one and start wearing it with pride!
