To celebrate the 150th anniversary of their founding as the world’s first professional baseball club, the Cincinnati Red Stockings (or the “Reds” as we know them) wore some sweet early 19th century throwbacks this weekend.
Saturday’s edition was a white 1902 uniform with a collar and a pocket shirt that powered Cincinnati to a 9–2 win over the Giants.

The Sunday unis were based on the Reds’ 1911 denim road uniforms, though thankfully made out of a modern material.
