MLB Uniform Rankings

Recently Uni-Watch and ESPN ranked all the uniforms, a task that proved to be interesting reading. Naturally, I disagreed with some of the picks. Ranking uniforms is something I do almost every year, so here is the way they line up in my book. In General, most of the MLB uniforms are decent. hardly any are terrible.

CARDINALS…simple, classic, large name on back (NOB), road cap.

GIANTS…Good: classic, cream, no NOB, nice alt cap. Bad: orange alt jersey.

TIGERS…simple, classic, cool belt loops, huge NOB. Road uni could be better.

PHILLIES…classic, simple, great road & alt uni.

YANKEES…classic, simple. Didn't realize all their batting helmets match.

BRAVES…classic. Love the cream alt uni. Dislike the red jersey, & the navy one is just ok.

METS…classic, now that they've ditched the black trim.

PIRATES…classic, simple, unchanging.s match.

DODGERS…classic, except for the LA sleeve patch. Nice road uni.

RED SOX…classic uni. Dislike red alt jersey, & road grey uni has been tinkered with too much.

BLUE JAYS…carved out a distinctive uni, with a nice baby blue alt.

CUBS…great home uni. Road uni just average. Dislike the royal alts.

WHITE SOX…nice that they haven't changed in years. Love the red alts.

ATHLETICS…distinctive uni set.

ORIOLES…fine uni & cap. Dislike the script used for both "Orioles" & Baltimore " Hate the black jersey, as well as the orange.

MARINERS…simple and unchanged. Nice colors.

INDIANS…home uni could be better. Love the cream alts & caps.

RANGERS…typeface could be better, but use of color is great.

ANGELS…simple, but perhaps too simple. Bring back the halo.

TWINS…not a fan of the home uni, but the alts are great.

ROYALS…simple & classic. Need baby blue pants to match jersey.

RAYS…nice colors & stirrups. Winning makes them look better.

MARLINS…new unis are an upgrade, but still too much black.

DBACKS…like the dark red. Uni just doesn't stand out.

NATIONALS…nice big numbers & NOB. Too many combos?

ROCKIES…hate those weird black vest things.
PADRES…nice colors, but a plain uni.

BREWERS…could be better, bolder. Too nondescript.

ASTROS…nice colors, but a bland uni.

REDS…un-needed black trim & number font sets uni back.
