Top Ten MLB Jerseys for 2009


1. Milwaukee Brewers - For as much as this pains me to say this as a Cubs fan - the Brewers have sick uniforms, a cool team name and a great cap design.  As a beer drinker, the solid blue cap with the grain below it is pretty freakin' awesome and its kind of a wonder you don't see more people outside of the midwest wearing it.  This blue jersey has a cool color scheme and is less offensive than the stupid glove logo they wore in the 1980s (alright Brewers fans, lemme have it, I know you love that crappy design). 



2. Boston Red Sox Alternate - Boston did a really nice job with the redesign of their new alternate jerseys.  They aren't overwhelming and jerseys get extra points for having a city name instead of the team name  (typically their away jerseys). 








3. Chicago Cubs - This jersey is much cooler when customized.  The simple grey is a bit drab initially, but with a red number on the front and back - it looks pretty cool.  It also offers a contrast to all those white pinstripe jerseys you see Cubs fans wearing.  








4. Pittsburgh Pirates - I'm a big fan of the classic look on current jerseys and Pittsburgh's road uniform does this pretty darn well. 









5. Minnesota Twins - The Twins will be wearing this uni to commemorate their last season in the 'dome.  I think the powder blue jersey actually wears better - but this is still a sweet throwback.  








6. Kansas City Royals - This picture makes this Royals jersey look like a dress, but this is a potentially pretty cool jersey.  A number of teams have color schemes of blue and white - like the Royals or Dodgers.  The Dodgers uniforms look cool on baseball players, but I've always thought they look a little drab on fans. 







7. Baltimore Orioles - Baltimore has added the flag of the state of Maryland to their sleeve this year, which I think is a really cool touch. Since I think most of their hats are pretty lame, I would go with the jersey (exception to the old bird designs of the 1960s).








8. Atlanta Braves - I'm really tired of Atlanta's "blacked out" look with their dark navy caps.  Make a choice people, is it navy or black.  Let's add a bit of spice to our lives with a solid red jersey here. 









9. Philadelphia Phillies - This classic looking jersey is screaming up my list of favorite jerseys.   Like the Giants jersey below, I love the fact that they went with a classic cream colored alternate than just another white design.  This jersey looks sweet. 








10. San Francisco Giants - Typically, I'd mock orange and black as Halloween colors.  Obviously, they are - and at first I thought this jersey was pretty lame.  Recently, however, I've come around. As you'll see in this top-ten list, I'm not a huge fan of solid white jerseys - so the off-white color here makes the jersey look more classic.
