<P> Another apparent violation of the concept of a "uniform" is that some players on a team will wear the traditional knee - breeches or "knickers" while other teammates are wearing the more - recent ankle - length, closely cut trousers . Many clubs do this at both major and minor league level, with no apparent objections . </P> <P> On game days that do not require a special uniform (either by team or MLB request) it is generally (but not always) the starting pitcher for a team that chooses the uniform to be worn for that day's game . </P>

Why don't the red sox have their names on their jerseys
