Uniforms are a very delicate part of a sports team’s identity. They matter and they always have.
Great unis don’t play the game for you. But when they look good, they make everything outside the lines more fun. They build the organization’s brand. They give the fans a spiritual nexus. They make the players feel cool and proud. And who knows about inside the lines? Look good, feel good, play good.
Of course, uniforms are like art and food and music. Everyone has an opinion and no one can prove theirs is right.
