The classic Devil Rays jersey is the greatest uniform in sports history

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are back, only this time, their on-field performance will match their uniforms.

Earlier this spring, the Rays announced they would be bringing back their original uniforms, once again, from their first couple of years as a franchise, with an incredible hype video:

From 1998 to 2000, the then-Devil Rays wore a jersey with a rainbow gradient logo, with the player’s name and number etched in a bright purple on the back.

To fully understand the uniform, you must take a look at how it came to be.
