World Baseball Classic uniform rankings: From the instantly iconic to the unfortunate

As Deion Sanders once said: “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.”

So dress like a champion today.

The World Baseball Classic pits 20 teams from around the world on an international stage. It’s the perfect time to show off national identities on the chest of their uniforms. Some teams are better at it than others.

Allow us — a small cabal of The Athletic MLB writers and editors — to present a rigorously determined, genuinely-voted-upon order of the WBC’s best sets, from caps to stirrups.

And to the first person in the comments who sincerely asks why we’re doing this: You will be awarded a Great Britain jersey as a booby prize. (Note: You won’t, really. These jerseys are pretty expensive.)

I'm sorry but their #1 is meh. It's not bad but it's meh. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 05:59 12
- If they’re giving it for the red ones, I agree. Those are stellar. -- nm - spamlet Mar 11, 07:16
- Okay, they're all rather bad which makes Mexico's jersey look so much better. China's is pretty good, Cuba's uniform is a classic and looks good and - Krusty Mar 11, 06:05 10
  - Not gonna lie. Have a Robert Cuba jersey pulled up on DHGate considering it - spamlet Mar 11, 07:23 4
    - Nice but May?? Oof. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 11, 07:48 3
      - I mean it’s a Chinese knockoff so… - spamlet Mar 11, 07:54 2
        
        I have several hockey jerseys I've ordered from there. They're usually decent. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 08:23 1
        
        I have a couple of jerseys as well and they’re definitely good for how cheap they are. -- nm - spamlet Mar 11, 08:50
  - If I ranked these Japan would be #1. Colombia's is so ugly that I think edibles are legal in NYC. Taiwan looks like a box of generic checks -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:30 4
    - Edibles are legal here. :-) And Colombia's are awful. No amount of weed is going to make them look good. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 06:41
    - and I hate it when The Athletic does these and supplies Twitter links for some and nothing for others -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:31 2
      - the El Morro castle on Puerto Rico came out rather unfortunately, my most charitable comment is "Is that a pepper mill?" -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:36 1
        
        Ha! Some did too much and others did way too little to give it any style. -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 11, 06:39
