Los Angeles Dodgers

Although it may cause pain for some older New Yorkers, today we have to start things off in Brooklyn. Founded as the Grays, later the Athletics, and then finally the Dodgers, the baseball team from Brooklyn began in 1883 and eventually joined the National League for the 1890 season. At one point, the franchise wore white and red at home but in 1902 the team adopted a royal blue and white color scheme.

It was a wild era for uniforms with things changing constantly and different shades of blue being used. In 1914, the team started using the English script “B” logo that they’d become known for while in Brooklyn, including adding it on their home jersey. But things kept changing constantly–an American flag replaced the “B” for 1917 due to WWI, a National League 50th anniversary patch was used for 1925, blank pinstriped jerseys were used for numerous seasons and at random, and eventually block letters spelled out “Brooklyn” arched across the white jersey.

In 1938, the modern Dodgers uniform appeared complete with a World’s Fair patch on the left arm sleeve in what would be Babe Ruth’s only season as a baseball coach.

Nearly 90 years later, not much has changed with the Dodgers and their uniforms. In 1952, Brooklyn became the first team in the MLB to add a player number to the front of their jersey doing so in an eye-catching red. Six years after this decision, the bigger decision was made to move to Los Angeles.

The now famous interlocking “LA” logo graces the hats and helmets, plus this logo was added to the right sleeve in 1999 and switched to the left sleeve in 2000.

“Wedding cake white uniforms” as former legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully used to call them. They remain the most iconic uniforms in the National League today.
