Kent Tekulve PiratesWhat causes an MLB team to change their jerseys? Most don’t know or remember the look of the Chicago layer cake ’style’ baseball caps.

 

In pondering this question I researched some statistics from other sources that show most MLB jersey redesigns are almost always caused by marketing decisions, or money. In wondering about the cause for a team to change jerseys often I certainly foresaw that jersey changes mean fans buying their teams redesigned MLB apparel but a surprising note of discovery was jersey redesigns since the 1940 MLB season have been far fewer on average.

 

Most changes now are due to a couple notable occurrences such as teams with smaller media markets, the teams winning or attendance record as well as stadium, ownership and other major franchise changes. This all makes sense as a fresh look can help reaffirm the idea of a better next season, or a team rebuilding. Escaping the scraggly look of a past season can certainly help budgets and moral but in all the beginning years for baseball and MLB franchises establishing their looks has calmed down the constant change of jersey looks and styles.
