10. Chicago Cubs
We’ve reached the Top 10! Today we start with a team that I think has the best uniform in baseball, the Chicago Cubs.
I think the Cubs’ blue-pinstriped home jersey is the best uniform in all of baseball. The rest of their set leaves a lot to be desired. Their new away grey jersey fails to capture anything any classic looking as their home and the new lettering is too blocky compared to their much more round logo and child-friendly mascot. The blue alternates are nice, but there is just too much empty blue.

9. Chicago White Sox
Like the Padres, the Chicago White Sox have had their fair share of memorable and regrettable uniforms. Lucky for them the White Sox landed on their current design in the 90’s and never looked back. Hopefully the Padres will have the same success with their next set.

8. San Francisco Giants
The Giants need to cool with with so many alternate uniforms, but their home uniforms are classics. I mentioned before how I’m a sucker for off-white uniforms, and the Giants have one of the best.
7. Los Angeles Dodgers
They may look good, but I still hate them…that is all.

6. Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have been wearing these great uniforms for awhile now and only made them better by adding an off-white alternate jersey to the mix.
Okay, just one more until we crown out champion! Who will it be? It’s not who you think it is…
