Clubs that have had the same style uniforms the longest
Fair to say the Yankees are the only team that has basically kept the same style (although baggier) uniform over the last 30 years, (home and away). If were using the the 30 year mark, I would say the next team would be the Tigers, although this only applies to their home jersey. The Dodgers would be next, but even their home white has had changes over the years. Many teams have reverted back to pre-seventies styles, but also have experimented with different designs over the years. Perhaps the Cardinals are up there too, but this would be their post knit era.

Red Sox have pretty much had the same home white since 1979.

The standard Tigers home knit with NOB has been used since late in the era of flannels (1970). The Cardinals home style hasn't changed much in that time, but, unlike the Yanks and Tigers, they wore pullovers at home from 1971-1990. The basic Red Sox home has been a fixture since 1979.

On the road greys and black alternates, any changes have been minor. They didn't add NOBs to the home whites until 1997, and they experimented with real and faux vests beginning in 1999. I agree with Karamax Joe, though, that after decades of hit (1971-75) or miss (1982-86 and 1987-90), the Chisox have got a winner.

The black alternates have been worn since 1991, both at home and on the road. In addition, beginning in 2007, the Sox began wearing cool base black gamers in all spring training games. They wore the black BP jersey prior to tha since the early 1990s.

Re: Clubs that have had the same style uniforms the longest
In addition to several tweaks to the sleeve patch, the A's have changed their road script (and NOB format) since '87.
The Orioles, who were remarkably stable (despite an inability to settle on a number font) from 1973-1998 have been very tweaky since. To give a complete listing of all the minor changes they've made since 1989 (especially 1995 on) would require its own thread...not merely a post.Mark
