Ranking the 30 MLB Unis - Orioles at # 5

[SeaBird]

1. Cardinals

2. Yankees

3. Phillies

4. Red Sox

5. Orioles

5. Baltimore Orioles

The return of the smiling bird logo put the O?s over the top. There was nothing wrong with their ?60s inspired full bird logo, but it was stiff and kind of boring. Bringing back the smiling bird finished off what was already a great uniform, with bold wordmarks that aren?t overly flashy and great use of the orange and black color scheme. It?s also nice to see ?Baltimore? on the road jerseys again. A fantastic, timeless look that they should stick with for a long time.

Here's all 30 write ups.

The Phillies uniforms suck. I guess all the others are there because they're "classic."

I always like the Dodgers and Royals clean unis too.

An article on the final (the Orioles vs. the Cardinals):

Battle of the Uniforms: Orioles Win Title

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/9292870/orioles-win-title

The Orioles entered as the #13 seed (out of 30 teams), and upset the #1-seeded Cardinals in the championship round.

My top 5 would be:

1. Orioles

2. Cardinals

3. Yankees

4. Dodgers

5. Tigers

30. Nationals

I'm probably in the minority but I love the old purple and teal Diamondbacks uniform. At least they were unique. Now they have the same uniform as the Angels and Nationals.

I like the Cubs uniforms but there are some really ugly uniforms in MLB.

I find nothing all that interesting about the Phillies uniforms aside from the red hat, and while the Yankees home uniforms look classic (shudder), I've always found the road uniforms drab and boring. Not saying they should be messed with, tradition is tradition, but they're really ugly to watch on the road. I've also hated Boston's road uniforms terrible since they redid them a few years ago. Generic City, USA. I also find it inconsistent how they laud teams for sticking with tradition and not overdoing it but dock other teams for being generic and boring.

Not trying to be biased but I really don't get why the Yankees uniform is so revered. It's fairly bland to me...Not much going on for me.

I don't think it was a "contest". It looked like a columnist, Dave Tobener, (who covers the SF Giants) decided to rate all 30 uniforms.

The Orioles have always been my favorite but what about the White Sox - remember how cool it was went they went to black and white?

Both Chicago teams have great uniforms.

Here's one writer's list of the Top 10 ugliest MLB unis. At #4 is the Pirate's "yellow" uni being modeled in the dugout by Dave Parker (who is taking a smoke break).

I've always liked the Mariners ones, dating back to when they had Griffey and Buhner.

If the Orioles would just ditch that awful O's hat and go with the road hat on Fridays.

Sorry to dig that horse up and flog it some more, but I hate that O's hat, and the black one looks great.
