Top 10 MLB Uniforms

The purpose of this blog will be to discuss and critique the uniforms worn by all of the major college and professional sports teams, along with the clothing worn by a few select persons who compete in individual sports. The scope will therefore be very wide ranging, although I will try to focus on the 3 major team sports: Football; Baseball; and Basketball.

Since Opening Day is still fresh in my mind, I will start with baseball. While I intend to eventually compile a quantitative evaluation (or score) of each MLB teams current uniforms, for the moment I am going to restrict my evaluations to the "top 10" and "bottom 5" teams. I have created a point system based on 5 criteria:

1. Designated Team Colors
2. Team Insignia/Logotype (or Logo)
3. Cap
4. Tradition
5. Overall Design

Each criterion has a possible 5.0 points, for a possible 25 points total. In addition to the 25 points, there will be deductions of 0.5 to 1.0 points made for other weaknesses and or deficiencies.

Top 10 (current uniforms only)

1. New York Yankees Home (25 pts.)
 

Perfection.

2. Detroit Tigers Home (25 pts)


Close 2nd*

*When there is a tie, I will use the team's other uniforms as the 1st tiebreaker. In this case the Yankee's road uniform (which narrowly missed the Top 10) is far better than the Tiger's road uni (which sucks.)

3. Los Angeles Dodgers Home (24.5 pts)


Half point deduction for Tradition.

4. Pittsburgh Pirates Road (24.5 pts)


Best Road Uni.

 

5. New York Mets Road (24 pts)
