Anomalies and Curiosities in Cardinals Uniform History

The holiday season has officially passed, but the Cardinal-related gifts we all got will warm our hearts throughout the year. Maybe you received a Paul Goldschmidt shirsey. Perhaps you got one of the new baby blue jerseys, or maybe you got... this thing. My wonderful wife gave me several Cardinal gifts. One specific gift perfectly fit the weird Venn diagram of my personality- baseball dork, Cardinals fan, graphic designer. I received St. Louis Cardinals Uniforms & Logos: An Illustrated History (1882-2016) by Gary and Oliver Kodner. It’s a completist’s dream of the ways the Cardinal uniforms, caps, and marks have changed over the years, including the interlocking STL, the birds on the bat, uniform patches, team colors, and even Sluggerbird.
