MLB power rankings: 30 best baseball uniforms of all time

4. Los Angeles Dodgers (Away Alternate)

Simple is often best, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have kept things simple since moving from Brooklyn in 1958. Actually, the Dodgers have kept things pretty consistent even longer than that. The Brooklyn Dodgers first put a blue script “Dodgers” on road gray flannels in 1938, a design that is still in use today.

Though the team replaced “Dodgers” with “Brooklyn” the following season, the standard had been set. In 1946, the club again put “Dodgers” on its road jersey, and kept the design until leaving for Los Angeles prior to the 1958 season. After one season in LA, the club switched to a script “Los Angeles,” which was also a good design. In fact, the Dodgers have used the very same concept in its primary road jersey since 2007, other than the additions of small blue stripes on the pants and sleeves, as well as the player’s name on the back of the jersey.

In 2014, the Dodgers introduced an alternate away jersey with the traditional “Dodgers” script. It was the first time since 1998 that the club had worn the team name on its jersey (the longest stretch since moving to Los Angeles), and it marked the first time since 1976 in which the “Dodgers” script did not contain an unnecessary white outline on the road grays.

Simply put, no road team in Major League Baseball history has looked better than the Los Angeles Dodgers do today, in large part because the club has stuck with a successful design for nearly 70 years.
