Question 2 of 10
2. We won the World Series in 1905.

What team did I represent? Hint

What team did I represent? Hint

Question 4 of 10

Question 5 of 10
5. Worn throughout the league, jerseys and caps that separated players by position rather than team (e.g. first basemen wore striped scarlet and white caps/jerseys, shortstops wore maroon caps and jerseys, etc).

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10
6. Worn during the mid-1970s, lots of red. Both the jerseys and pants, with just a few blue/white stripes on the waistband, socks and hat. Mercifully, the team name was white, but the overall look resembled a ketchup bottle. What team did I represent? Hint

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Worn for one game during the 1976 season, blue cap with part of my team's nickname, white old-style shirt with blue collar and lettering, white and blue tube socks without stirrups, and blue baseball "pants." What team did I represent?

Answer: Chicago White Sox

 The White Sox wore shorts during game one of a doubleheader against the Royals on August 8, 1976, causing Royal first baseman John Mayberry to quip, "You guys are the sweetest team we've seen yet". They went on to win the game, but ditched the embarrassing duds for the 2nd game, never to wear them again.
2. We won the World Series in 1905. Our manager, who never wanted to get involved with such a thing in the first place, was so proud of our achievement that he decided to advertise it to the whole world by having the words "World Champions", emblazoned across both our home and road uniforms in block lettering. What team did I represent?

Answer: New York Giants

 Giant manager John McGraw never attempted to hide his disdain for the American League. The N.L. pennant winning Giants declined to face their Boston counterparts in the A.L. franchise following the 1904 season, but were ridiculed by the fans and the press alike.

As such, the Series went on the following season, with the Giants besting the A.L. Philadelphia A's in 5 games. Having won it all for real, McGraw outfitted his players in uniforms with the title "World Champions" across the chest.
3. As worn during the 1970s, rainbow colored jerseys with an unusual orange, red, yellow and pink color scheme. Team nickname above a large navy blue star. Pants originally had uniform number just above the right leg, and the number on the jersey back was in a white circle. This uniform was so bizarre, it was used both at home and on the road. What team did I represent?

Answer: Houston Astros

 These eye-catching duds were introduced before the 1975 season to represent the futuristic vibe of the franchise, but fans and the media alike found them to be a bit too far-out. They lasted until the late 1980s.
4. Worn during the 1970s and 1980s, brown jerseys with yellow lettering, yellow and brown caps. White pants with brown, yellow and orange stripes, Mayor McCheese might have been proud. What team did I represent?

Answer: San Diego Padres

 Leave it to San Diego Padre (and McDonald's) owner Ray Kroc to come up with a color combination that resembled a Big Mac. This could be the worst color scheme ever, and adding white to the home version didn't help much. However, the Padres would win the 1984 pennant wearing these things.
5. Worn throughout the league, jerseys and caps that separated players by position rather than team (e.g. first basemen wore striped scarlet and white caps/jerseys, shortstops wore maroon caps and jerseys, etc). The only way to tell the teams apart was to look at the color of the stockings, as these were unique. What Major League did I represent in the 1800s?

Answer: American Association

 All six teams playing in the American Association's inaugural season of 1882 wore the same uniform, but with different colored socks (Cleveland- Blue Stockings, Boston- Red Stockings, etc.) By 1883, the league did away with their "clown costumes" (as these duds were not-so-affectionately known) and allowed teams to use more traditional uniforms.
6. Worn during the mid-1970s, lots of red. Both the jerseys and pants, with just a few blue/white stripes on the waistband, socks and hat. Mercifully, the team name was white, but the overall look resembled a ketchup bottle. What team did I represent?

Answer: Cleveland Indians

 With a mediocre product on the field throughout the decade, the Indians had to do something to attract attention. The Philadelphia Phillies also tried a similar look in 1979.
7. Worn for the first time in 1929, uniform numbers on the backs of jerseys. What team did I represent?

Answer: New York Yankees

 The Yankees were the first team to wear uniform numbers on the backs of jerseys (the Cleveland Indians experimented with the idea in the 1910s, but placed them on sleeves). At first, they mostly represented players' batting position (e.g. Babe Ruth- 3, Lou Gehrig- 4, etc.)
8. Worn in the 1970s and 1980s, mix and match white, black and gold jerseys. Some had pinstripes, some didn't. Old-style striped "pillbox" caps, stars were attached to these for good behavior. What team did I represent?

Answer: Pittsburgh Pirates

 Several National League teams decided to use the pillbox caps in 1976 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National League. The Pirates were one of them. However, they opted to keep the caps full-time. The relics made an interesting addition to an already schizophrenic uniform that couldn't decide if it was pinstriped or solid, black or gold, home or road.

These Pirates mixed, matched and accessorized their way to a World Series title in 1979.
9. Worn in the 1960s and 1970s, green and/or gold jerseys, green/gold/white/grey pants with green and gold stripes, green and gold caps. Extra large team nickname initial on the left side occasionally flanked by the uniform number on the right. What team did I represent?

Answer: Kansas City/Oakland A's

 The unusual color combination was just one of the many gimmicks introduced by A's owner Charlie O. Finley to spur interest in his dismal team. The A's would ride this color combination, along with flashy mustaches and killer nicknames, to three consecutive World Series championships between 1972-1974.
10. Worn in 1916 was a pink plaid and pink socks. Just tell me who wore these things.

Answer: New York Giants

 The Brooklyn Dodgers also used plaid uniforms about this time, but didn't take it to the extreme. The Giants finished 4th that season, but won the NL pennant in the next.
