Over the years, red has been the key trim color in the Cincinnati Reds' on-field ensembles. However, there have been some significant deviations from this standard, as reflected by the club's recent (but now past) uniforms, which featured black as a major trim style. ==The "Redlegs", 1956–1960== The growth of McCarthyism and the advent of a new Red Scare in the 1950s gave the Reds' owners concerns that the club's traditional nickname would be seen as an association with Communism. The name of the team was officially changed to the Cincinnati Redlegs and the new 1956 uniforms wiped out the ''REDS'' lettering from inside the ''C-REDS'' logo, leaving a plain wishbone ''C'' in red. The color red however, was restored to its place of pride as the sole trim color, completely eliminating the navy blue that had been used as a secondary trim color since 1935. The other groundbreaking feature of the 1956 uniforms was the use of sleeveless jerseys, seen only once before in the Major Leagues (the 1940-1942 uniforms of the Chicago Cubs). At home and away, the cap was all-red with a white wishbone ''C'' insignia. The long-sleeved undershirts were red. The uniform was plain white with a red wishbone ''C'' logo on the left and the uniform number on the right. On the road the wishbone ''C'' was replaced by the moustachioed "Mr. Red" logo, the pillbox-hat-wearing man with a baseball for a head. The home stockings were red with six white stripes. The away stockings had only three white stripes. In 1957, the red caps were changed for ones whose crowns matched the white or gray of the home and road uniforms; the ''C'' insignia was changed to red. The road uniform was slightly altered so that it was just like the home togs, but grey instead of white: Mr. Red was eliminated in favor of a plain red wishbone ''C'' logo. In 1958, the home uniforms, including the caps, got red pinstripes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logos and uniforms of the Cincinnati Reds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
