Cincinnati Reds should return to their original Redlegs uniforms

The Cincinnati Reds have only had a handful of uniforms in their extended history. For the most part two things have been the same for the past 75 years. The red cap with the pointed “C” and the somewhat subdued red socks. There have been a handful of variations there.

The Reds need to recapture the past elitism that propelled them to be first professional team ever. The Reds were the first professional baseball team in the world, led by the Wright brothers. In the late 1800s, handlebar moustaches were all the rage.

The uniforms were essentially polo shirts with a large red C on the middle of the chest.
