History Of Baseball Uniforms In The Major Leagues
Baseball Uniforms in the Major Leagues: The Evolution of the Battle Suit
As you enter the ball park to take your seat, one of the first things that you notice is the players' uniforms. There is a very good chance you don't know a single one of the people on the field personally-it's the colors on their uniforms that immediately tell you whether he is friend or foe. As well as helping you bond to the team, much like a flag for your country, they keep you aware of the fact that you are just a spectator, and that they are the professional baseball warriors.
Just as seeing your favorite players in their uniforms excites you and makes you proud to be a fan, for a player there is a huge sense of pride and belonging to walking on to the field with a team full of other players proudly wearing the same jersey, looking at all the fans out there. There, in one of the stands, a player sees a fan with his jersey on. Just as these uniforms remind the fans that the people in uniform are the players, these uniforms tell the players, "I am a soldier of baseball, and this is my team.
Ever since history has been recorded, throughout all the various battles and wars our planet has seen, there has always been a great sense of pride revolving around the uniform, or armor, a great aura that that you just can't put your finger on. This as well applies to the brilliantly colored and designed uniforms of baseball.
History's first record of an official baseball uniform was that of the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City, and was introduced in 1849. The uniform consisted of a white flannel shirt, a straw hat, and blue wool pants. Today's baseball uniforms are a far cry from this. Synthetic fabrics used in simple yet intricate patterns of colors. Well, are uniforms didn't just change overnight, the styles changed, little by little, over time.
In 1868, knickers are introduced to the game of baseball by the Cincinnati Red Stockings. These were more comfortable to play in and allowed the players much more movement. These also showed a very important feature of the team's uniform, their red stockings. Colors and patterns on uniforms were played with a lot between 1880 and 1890. 1882 saw the rise and fall of multi-colored uniforms to correspond to a player's position, while the only discerning factor between the teams was their stocking color. In 1888, three major league teams, Washington and Detroit of the National League, and Brooklyn of the American Association, introduced stripes on their uniforms. The checkered uniform, though short lived, was introduced by the Brooklyn Bridegrooms in 1889. Brooklyn remained as the trend-setters for baseball uniforms, bringing back their checked uniform again in 1907, 1916, and 1917. They also had a trial with satin uniforms in the '40s and became the first major league team to put numbers on the front of their jerseys in '52.
The timeline of changes can go on and on, down to the tiniest details, but thanks to the trial and error of baseball warriors and their commanders before us, we have the uniform today that is recognized by the masses, yet retaining the mystique and pride surrounding uniforms of all types.

Volleyball Uniform Question??
ok, well im playing varsity volleyball but they don't have and xtra small this year for my volleyball jersey. so i have to wear a small. it's big on me, is it against the rules for someone to tie the uniform with a hair tie or something? also, i have a lot of guy friends that only come to the vball games to watch me in spandex shorts cuz of course they are really really really tight 
lol, but that's why the guys are coming to the games and im starting to get a rep as the school slut even though im not doing ANYTHING with the guys except for hanging out. how do i stop these rumors?
i can't get a bigger size, they're spandex, they're supposed to be tight, it's regulation. it's not like my ass is showing but it might as well be
Gordonmo is correct, as long as your number is showing you should be alright. You should be able to make the jersey comfortable without hiding the number.
As for the spandex, there's nothing you can really do unless your coach would allow you to wear basketball shorts over them. You could ask your coach if you could do that.
Other than that, I wouldn't really too much about them staring at you. You wear spandex in vball to make it easier to move around and play the game, not for guys to look at you in a sexual way. They are part of the uniform and if you wore baggier shorts it would be pretty difficult to dive for the ball / slide across the floor to make a play.
Just focus on playing volleyball at the game, don't worry about those guys staring at you. They are just trying to make you lose focus. Explain to them you have to wear spandex and it is the rules and part of your uniform. They are trying to get inside your head, just forget about them. They aren't really worth hanging out with if they are just going to spread false rumors. Pretend they don't exist, ignore them in class / in the hallway. If the situation worsens, notify your guidance counselor or assistant principal, they would be more than happy to sit down and talk things out with you. That is their job after all.
I'm a big volleyball fan and love to watch girls games, and no it's NOT because of the spandex. I just find the girls games more competitive than guys games and like to focus on the strategies coaches use to win the games.
I hope this helps and feel free to message me on here if you need some more information or have any additional questions.
Good luck with your volleyball season, best wishes to you and your team!!
