MLB Uniform History - Stockings
Aside from the advent of the Boston Red Stockings first introducing the knickerbockers and showcasing their red stockings as a part of their baseball uniform stockings took drastic changes in look. Styles through out the 1900’s included diamonds and stripped stockings ranging in color combination as well as stirrups intended to create distinction from NFL uniforms.
Stockings also aided in spawning some ball club names because of the distinct changes to their uniform and focus on the look of their stockings including the Red and White Stockings as well as the Detroit Tigers as they were nicknamed since somewhere around 1895 becuase of the stripped stockings they wore but would not enter their first major league game until 1901.
