But Bouton is right. The Yanks have great uniforms. They are very simple and traditional. The Red Sox have the same sort of feel. I do, however, think a lot of the look of the uniform depends on who is wearing it.

Joe only said that because Steve wears Levi's to the park sometimes and thinks nothing of wearing his famous nondescript corduroy jacket seven days in a row. Clothes are an afterthought for most major-league players. If it weren't for shoe and glove contracts, most players would wear the same shirt three or four times a week. But with these contracts players are able to order merchandise. Usually an order will include 20-30 polo shirts in a few different colors and patterns.
