Baseball HOF's Dressed to the Nines uniform history pages....

[cjw]

Looks like this database is not very thorough.....it doesn't identify the Jays black, alt jerseys of the last few years.

Seeing this, i must assume that other teams are also misrepresented. Why bother having this database active if the HOF of all places cant find the time to add simple info like recent-year MLB uniforms.

Good point - the images starting with the 1995 season are taken directly from the MLB Style Guides for each team. For some reason they only are uploading the home white and road grey, which I'm guessing are identfied in the Style Guides as the "primary" home and road uniforms.

The pre-1995 work is from a book I wish I had bought years ago before it went out of print - "Baseball Uniforms of the 20th Century". Those are hand drawn/hand colored diagrams, so the author/illustrator of that book deserves a lot of kudos for that effort.
