Baseball uniforms haven’t always looked sharp. In fact, early players often wore mismatched pieces—some in full suits, others in flannel shirts and suspenders. By the late 1800s, teams began to standardize colors and patterns, and stripes, collars, and even neckties made appearances.
The New York Giants were the first to wear numbered jerseys in the 1910s—a move that helped fans track players and, eventually, fueled the rise of superstar branding.
Today, uniforms are big business—but they started as barely coordinated gear.
