21. Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians have simplified their image and brought in an old rustic look to aid it. And it works pretty well. The Indians’ uniforms, though altered slightly several times over the years, has maintained the same basic design.

They’ve played with bordering and striping, and seemingly finally found the one they can stick with.

Best of all, the home throwback models with the red hats seems to work really well. As an alternate look, it is aesthetically pleasing.

Best of all they have maintained the block letter “C” on their batting helmets both home and away – though their hats are the more common Indians logo they’ve been wearing (again with slight alterations over time) for the past 20-plus years.

These are still a million times better than the Browns’ new uniforms–though once they wore them on the field last week in their first exhibition game, they weren’t as bad.

The regular uniforms with no striping or piping and lacking the number and letter bordering of prior years just works. They have necessarily lopped off the bordering–which once played a large role on their standard jerseys. All of it is better, even if weird.
