See #5 for the fugliest uniforms of all time!!
Anyway, if you do a Dressed to the Nines search, it looks like Brooklyn Tip-tops of rhe Federal league did use red stripes on their socks from 1914-15, but not the Brooklyn Robins. That said, maybe the makers of the Youth's Companion Stamp AND the 1916-20 Big Heads felt inclined to make the Brooklyn Robins uniform look cooler by adding red to the socks. I guess that's logical.
Also, and more importantly, why does Leon Cadore have a large "C" on his uniform???
