All the red, white and blue uniforms get a big ol’ meh from me. I ranked Panama highest of the bunch because of the orange-y color. And I gave Cuba major points for the très weird gradient. Is it nice, per se? Probably not. But it’s different. — KH

I look at these uniforms as the Texas Rangers Conundrum of the international stage. Are they a red team? Are they a blue team? Somebody got cute with the gradient and decided that Cuba would be both. The result is putrid. — MC

I had Cuba higher, not because I think it’s a good uniform or because it looks good, but because it is iconic. The color combinations scream Cuba. Even before the WBC, Cuba had an international baseball identity with the red or blue pants. It’s still here, even if all the rest is messed up. It feels a lot like a European soccer team that has a basic identity but has to mess it up every year in order to sell new jerseys. Gradients never work on baseball uniforms. Just stop trying. — CTR
