I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with this thread or how I'm going to get there, but I was thinking about baseball uniforms a bit today and I was wondering what separates a "boring" uniform from a "traditional" uniform.
Like, I think that this is the ultimate in boring uniforms:
This isn't much better:
Or this:
But I'd consider these traditional, or classy (I'm trying not to use the Sox or the Yanks because there's a lot of shit that goes with both of them):
Or:
Or:
Like I said, I tried to stay away from the Yankees and Red Sox; but I also tried to stay away from "traditional" uniforms that are worn by franchises that win a lot.
I guess what I'm trying to figure out here is why the Rays who have practically the same color scheme as the Royals and Dodgers appear to be perpetually playing under a grey cloud while the other two are in Technicolor?
Tp put it another way, what makes a baseball uniform memorable?
