Fact - As is usual, the baseball uniform is adorned with a team or city name angled across the shirt front in script lettering. Buffalo became the first big league club to use this design during the 1914 season in the Federal League. It was not until 1930 that the script lettering was reintroduced into big league baseball, when the Detroit Tigers adopted the style that has since been embraced by nearly every major league club at some time during its history. The earliest known use of script lettering on any professional team uniform is 1902, when the style was used by both Oakland and San Francisco of the California League.
