Uniform
From BR Bullpen
A uniform is a type of sportswear worn by baseball players, and sometimes by non-playing personnel such as managers and coaches. Modern uniforms have the names and uniform numbers of the players on them; color differences and insignia are mainly used to distinguish players from the two teams.
A uniform includes a shirt, pants, shoes, socks and cap, which all have details such as logos and colors.[1]
The first uniforms, worn by the New York Knickerbockers Baseball Club, were composed of blue woolen trousers, white flannel shirts and straw hats.[2] Since then, the uniform has changed dramatically, such as replacing straw hats with regular baseball caps and displaying the player's last name.
