Vintage uniforms, a thing of the past

Different baseball player uniforms have their own sense of style and appeal. Players in the the early to mid 1900's didn't care that their uniforms were too tight or bland. Playing baseball was all that mattered. Today, the new age of ball players are just spoiled with the luxury of designer fabrics and high quality cotton. To top it off they get paid enormous salaries. They truly have it made. Doing the era of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe Dimaggio, and Jackie Robinson players were glad to have any clothes to wear that fit them. Well, times change and so does designs. Uniforms have not always had team logos stitched on the outside. Bold, black numbers used to only appear on the back of jerseys. During the period when Walter Young and Cy Young played uniforms were all one color. It wasn't a big deal then since money was tight and baseball had not evolved into a multi-million dollar game. Players today have jerseys to fit their comfort, baggy pants legs, larger size jerseys, wider hats, etc. Also it didn't take long for the word to get out about collectors making money from players' jerseys. They are sold all over the country. Profits of anything from $100-$1,000 are made. Hall of Famers' jerseys are displayed in locked cases in Cooperstown. Each style of uniform, in a way defined each era of baseball.
