Instead, the uniform of the Boston Red Sox, then called the Boston Americans, featured a plain long-sleeved shirt that laced up at the front. Rather than "Red Sox," the front of the jersey was embroidered with the word "Boston."

The uniform also featured a white-and-black cap, rather than a modern baseball hat.

Like all other teams in the MLB, the Red Sox uniform of today is sponsored and provided by Nike. Gone are the collared, more formal uniforms, and in their place are jerseys designed for athletic gameplay.
