Ranking the top 10 MLB road uniforms for 2021

Like another team coming up, the Nationals' road alternates -- a navy blue jersey that they wore when they won the 2019 World Series -- are their best uniform. Still, for a team that has only existed since 2005, the team's gray road uniforms have a pretty classic look. It's not quite that of the Expos, but the Nationals have done well with their road uniforms.

In general, we feel that the Mariners' uniform kit -- for a lack of a more American term -- is under-appreciated. They have clean white uniforms at home and three really good alternates. The road grays might actually be their least aesthetically pleasing uniform, but that's only when compared to the rest of the bunch.

The script -- reminiscent of the Bulls' cursive classics -- is what makes these uniforms. Of course, one of the elite hats in the sport and sharp matte helmets don't hurt either. The only suggestion we have is that the White Sox remove the primary logo from their left sleeve and return back to the white sox on the black baseball diamond that they had during their 2005 World Series victory.

While we're partial to the Padres' gray, pinstriped road alternates, their primary brown away uniforms are one of the more popular looks in the sport currently. The Padres returned to a brown-and-yellow look in 2020, and it wouldn't surprising if they move forward with this look for decades.

The Yankees unquestionably have the most iconic home uniform in New York, but the Mets top them on the road. We're fans of the Mets bringing back their black alternate jerseys, but ditching their primary black hats (and the belts that went with those uniforms) in 2012 was a good decision. There's nothing wrong with the Mets mixing in black on an alternate, but their primary colors should be blue and orange.

The Dodgers have a road alternate that just says "Dodgers" on it, like their home jerseys. That's not a bad uniform, but their road uniforms that say "Los Angeles" in cursive are superior. The best touch on both the Dodgers' home and road jerseys are the numbers that are red on the front -- but blue on the back.

The kelly green alternates that the A's wear on Friday home games, among other times, are the best uniform that the team has, but they truly have an embarrassment of riches in the threads department. The script on the jerseys is strong, it looks great with or without long sleeves underneath and the elephant on the left sleeve will never not be cool.

Canada doesn't have the Expos anymore, but they still have one of the best road uniforms in the sport. The blue jay on the front of Toronto's jerseys looks even cooler than a number would, and the script for both "Toronto" and the number on the back of the jerseys is arguably the best in baseball.

The navy blue hats that the Cardinals wore on the road from 1995 to 2012 weren't awful, but the team's decision to just wear their red primary hats away from home beginning in 2013 really made these jerseys pop. It's not that dissimilar from the Philadelphia Phillies' road uniforms, but the two cardinals perched on the bat is just more interesting.

It always seems to come down the Tigers and the Cardinals, doesn't it? For our money, the Tigers' road uniforms aren't only the best in the sport currently but one of the best in MLB history. The Tigers have worn these uniforms on the road since 1995 and added in the navy blue and orange hat in 1998. There's no reason that Detroit should ever move away from these uniforms.
