Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. 22. player. 102. . Est. 1965. American League West

  • Home Cap: 23rd
  • Home Jersey: 23rd
  • Road Cap: 21st
  • Road Jersey: 22nd

The Good: In my opinion, the Los Angeles Angels have one of the best current logos in Major League Baseball. The haloed A is simple and classic, yet it’s modernly styled and didn’t appear in it’s current form until 2002 (though a similar logo, a more simple A, was used from 1986-92). Ditching the Disneyfied winged A for the current look was a very smart move. Also, it’s a small thing, but I’m thrilled the Angels wear red cleats again, replacing the black shoes they’ve worn for most of the past two decades.

The Bad: This is more of a pet peeve and it doesn’t really impact the team’s uniforms thankfully, but the Angels lose points for calling themselves the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Los Angeles Angels (1961-64) was a good name. California Angels (1965-1996) was fine and Anaheim Angels (1997-2004) made sense, but the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (even if no one really calls them that) is clumsy and cumbersome. Also, LA and Anaheim are two different cities located about 25 miles from one another and you can rarely get from one downtown to the other in less than an hour.

Aside from that, I’m not a huge fan of solid red caps and think the Angels should go back to a navy crown with a red bill. Do that and the Angels have a top ten uniform.

Next: 21. Seattle Mariners

Home/Boston Red Sox
