The Giants' Uniforms

A few days ago, I talked about how darn ugly the D'backs' (D-backs?) uniforms were. Well, we now wind our way to the best-looking uniforms in the Big Leagues: the Giants'! Everything you could desire from a uniform is right here:

1. Classic: These uniforms are classic as it gets, reaching back to 1933. The design was finalized by 1949 (with "NEW YORK" and "NY" instead of "SAN FRANCISCO" and "SF", of course), and have been use ever since then, except for the Lurie years. (Bob Lurie, for all his qualities, was sartorially blind.) Very few uniforms have been around that long, and the home unis are basically unchanged.
2. Names: What more could you want on that front? The Giants' uniforms, with regard to names, are designed the way all uniforms should be: team name but no player names at home, city name and player names on the road, what more to ask for? Well, maybe great lettering. The Giants have that, too. The script lettering is all the better because no one else has anything quite like this tested-and-true font. Try to imagine any other lettering (let's say cursive) on the uniforms the Giants wear. Can you? I sure can't.
3. Design: The Giants' uniforms, from an aesthetic standpoint, are absolutely wonderful. The colors are very well done, the uniform has the light-at-home, dark-away color scheme, which never fails, and the cream on the home uniforms adds an unexpected but eye-pleasing touch. The orange-and-black caps with an intertwined "SF" are of the old, no-frills kind, which will never look garish, unlike the halos on the Angels' old caps.
4. Originality: This is the last, but most important point. If you are wondering why this is so important, let me ask you a question: What good is it to have a perfect uniform if you copied it off five other teams with the same exact scheme? Nothing, of course, and in the end, this is what makes the Giants' uniforms so great: They're unique. They don't have the Yankeeesque pinstripes or the Dodgeresque cursive, and no one has a Giants copycat scheme. The Giants are all the better for it.
