13. Detroit Tigers

There are a few primary cap logos in baseball that are instantly recognizable and the Old English script “D” of the Detroit Tigers is one of them. While the Tigers have played around with their overall uniform design, the Old English logo has been a constant since the days of Ty Cobb and dates back to 1904. For reference, the famed New York “NY” made its debut in 1909.

The Tigers home uniforms have remained essentially unchanged for the team’s entire existence. Old English “D” on the left chest, all white jersey and pants with navy blue piping and navy blue cap. The Old English letter is in blue on the jersey and white on the cap, which makes for a nice contrast.

Detroit has played around with their road uniforms a little bit more over the years, going back and forth between script and block versions of the city’s name across the chest. The basic premise has stayed the same, however. Blue lettering with orange and white backing. The letter on the hat also changes from white to orange on the road. The orange and navy blue is a strong color combination.

By going with a historical design for the home jerseys and allowing the road set to change over the years, the Tigers have given themselves a very strong pair of uniforms. Detroit has some of the richest baseball history in the league, so it makes sense that the uniform design reflects that fact.
