Detroit's home uniforms have always been one of my favorites. They have used some version of the Old English "D" in all but four years since entering the American League as a charter member in 1901. However, in most of those years the Old English "D" on the cap and the uniform did not exactly match. They put them in synch for the 2018 season (not that I ever noticed; my Tiger-fan brother filled me in.) No uniform can match the classic Yankee home pinstripes. But Detroit's is good. I'm partial to the home uniforms of the Dodgers and Cardinals as well. Anybody else have uni preferences? Or is this a "who cares" concept? Of course, worst uniforms usually generate more interest. Early Expos, Astros softball threads, etc. I agree the Old English "D" is classy.....I like the Cardinals bat and birds look....the Charles Finley era A's uniforms were eye-catching...Houston's rainbow uni looks better today then it did then, for some reason.... |

No fair using photos of Damon and Tekulve as models. No uniform is gonna look good on a serpent (Tekulve)... |

How stupid to put short pants on a baseball player that could need to slide at any moment...

I think you covered most of the eyesores, Kaybli. I don't even remember that Royals uniform worn by Johnny Damon. And Kent Tekulve is the perfect geek for those 70s Pirates outfits. |

Those old Pirate hats looked like they were going out to play with their Choi-choo 🚂 train...Too bad Choo-Choo Coleman wasn’t around to play for them...

Early Expos, Astros softball threads, etc. There is nothing better than the Yankee pinstripes, and it’s no even close. That said, those that you mentioned are pretty good. I even love the Yankees road flannels... Adding to my hatred of the Orioles is that goofy-looking, “Donald Duckish” looking oriole bird head that they use, though I don’t think it’s on the uniform. I used to like the more ornithologically correct version from the 60’s. The bluebirds out here are equally pretty, but lack the orange breast feathers. The cardinal was always my father’s favorite bird, because it’s so beautiful. I’ve always leaned towards the bald eagle, with the eastern bluebird high on my list. I guess I sort of turned this into the uniforms of birds instead of teams. Oops... Concur on the Laughing Duck Orioles uniforms, Inger. The anatomically correct Orioles cap is much more dignified. With that cap, I kind of like those O's unis. I kind of like the interlocking letters on the traditional White Sox uniform as well. Oh yeah, the Yankees uniforms are so clean and have an understated elegance. My favorite of any uniform of any sport. |

Yep. The Yanks gave them enough time to challenge, too. |

Uh oh, another game drifting toward restaurant talk. |

The Padres had some rather esthetically offensive uniforms.
