Choosing The Right Baseball Team Uniforms

By Liliana Mills


Baseball team uniforms normally include the pants and the shirts. Shirts are most commonly striped and have a button down style front. The pants can be striped or solid color and will be padded to provide protection to the shin and hip areas. Accessories, such as hats and socks, are considered parts of the uniform by some companies.

Baseball uniforms are usually divided into different classifications, based on the person that will be wearing them. For instance, major league players will need major league classified version. These uniforms are constructed of more sturdy fabric and are much more durable than most other options. This is because they need to be able to withstand rough playing styles, like those commonly seen in the professional level of the sport.

When looking for new uniforms, evaluate the fit, comfort and protection aspects of the product you are considering. The pants should fit snugly and the shirts should fit slightly loose. Every aspect of the uniform should be comfortable for extended wear and avoidance of any irritating materials should be a priority. A sufficient amount of padded should be found inside for protection, but an amount that makes the outfit look bulky from the outside.

The padding should be sewn into useful areas that will provide the most shock absorption for the body. Areas of the lower body, such as the hips and shins, are especially important to protect. Some styles will contain padding in the shirts as well. This provides protection to the shoulders and other highly vulnerable body parts.

Specific features of these outfits will determine their pricing. Outfits suited for youth level play and amateur level sport will cost significantly less than professional style varieties. They do not require construction from materials that are highly durable since the level of roughness they will withstand is much different.

The majority of uniform companies sell their items in bulk and offer customization options as well. For a small charge you can have the team member's names placed on the backs of their outfits. Paying for each of these outfits separately would cost a lot of money. A bulk purchasing options comes with a discount on price as well as shipping charges.

Order a team's gear from a large manufacturer, compared to a local one, can sometimes come with the concern that there might be errors in the order. It doesn't happen often, but on occasion a name can get misspelled on an item. The majority of companies have a simple return policy and will fix any errors at no charge since it was their fault.

Baseball team uniforms can make any team, no matter how small, look much more professional. Even little league teams use them to provide a more realistic experience of the sport. While these types of teams might not have outfits on the same level as professional players do, they still have their own set of benefits. They create a better experience and the do still provide a level of protection to the players. They are also inexpensive enough to purchase that any small town baseball team will be able to afford them, even if they don't have a lot of sponsorship.
