3. Japan

While I don’t know that Japan has a national identity across all sports, Samurai Japan has it with this uniform. It does seem odd to me that “Japan” is used so much — both across the chest and with the J on the hat — when Japan refers to its country as Nippon. I’d love some use of kanji on the hat, even if the two characters for “Nippon” aren’t the most dynamic. It all works on its own, but it just seems like there’s a missed opportunity. — CTR
This was my No. 1 pick. The piped outline, the curved font across the chest, the dimensional pinstripes, the glossy belt, the subtle nod to tradition that could also pass as 2023 streetwear … that’s the stuff. — Kaci Borowski
The script really hits. Every version is a bold statement. And the chain-striping on the home cream-whites is a cool curveball. From a distance, it looks like classic pinstripes, then up close you can tell there’s more going on. I’d only vote for one change: “Samurai” instead of “Japan” on the home set would be very cool. Lean into the nickname. But that’s a minor quibble. — NG
