Both sports and work uniforms are standard outfits that allow you to look similar to or the same as teammates and co-workers. Because uniforms are general requirements rather than options, it's easy to assume that they're less expensive than any clothing you would choose yourself.
In some cases, this assumption proves true. Uniforms often have minimal designs and branding, and manufacturers produce them in larger quantities. Together, these factors can contribute to lower costs for uniforms.
In other cases, however, uniform prices are similar to those for regular clothes. After all, many uniforms feature high-tech materials and production processes to help enhance your performance at work or on the field.
