Though more than 100 countries are now part of the International Baseball Federation, the sport originated in the U.S. when the first official game was played in 1846. It might not have appeared so official to onlookers, however, as players didn’t have any sort of standardized team apparel until 1849. (Fun fact: The Cleveland Indians were the first major league club to have numbered uniforms when they took the field in 1916.)
The evolution of soccer uniforms have a long history, and if you stick around a bit, we’d love to tell you about it. Athletic uniforms are more than just jerseys. The uniform is everything a team stands for. According to soccer legend Diego Maradona, a player’s motto should be “giving everything for the shirt”. In other words, the uniform is the symbol of the team, and it’s the most important part of the game.
Athletic apparel materials must be able to withstand higher amounts of stress and strain, which means the materials used to make it need to be of a higher caliber. Which one is best? Whether you’re shopping for athletic apparel or simply curious, here are five materials to choose from.
