Favourite MLB uniforms

Leading on from another thread where we were discussing minor league logos, what are your favourite uniforms and logos of the 30 major league teams? It's not a top 3 or top 5 for eg, just name those you really like.

I think most MLB uniforms are kinda meh. Of course there's the traditional ones - Yankees, Red and White Sox, Tigers, Giants etc and then those from the modern era - Marlins and D'Backs etc. Each to their own and all that but I really only have three that I like a lot:

Pittsburgh Pirates - always loved the yellow and black since I grew up in the 70s watching Willie Stargell et al. I like the pirate logo too. Anyone else remember the pillbox caps?!

Toronto Blue Jays - biased I know but even if I wasn't a fan I'd still love them. I genuinely think the dark blue unis are some of the nicer in the Bigs. Cool logo and I love the numbers design too.

Cincinnati Reds - again, having grew up watching baseball in the 70s, I always admired the Big Red Machine and although the logo and unis are kinda plain, I associate them with that team and those great players. I like it's simplicity I suppose. And I do like red!

So there you go, my favourites. What are yours and why?

I’m a traditionalist. Dodgers and Yankees have the best uniforms IMO. Really don’t like the Indians changing their uniform this year because of all the political correctness furor over Chief Wahoo.

I went to a AAA Lehigh Valley IronPigs game over the weekend and they were wearing the worst uniform I’ve ever seen. Frilly ruffles on the front and a skull on the back... my god, it's baseball not clown town! Some of their prior single game uniform errors in judgement:

If we're including the minors and as I'm a big fan of the originals Star Wars films, I love any number of teams that have had Star wars themed uniforms over the years.

At the majors, I've always liked Oakland and going back a while, the Padres brown uniforms (but not the budgie yellow ones) were pretty cool too. Miami's the one I think is the worst though. I hate the colours on the logo
