===Logo===
[[File:Cincinnati Reds logo (1915 - 1919).png|thumb|right|Logo (1915–1919)]]
Throughout the team's history, many different variations of the classic wishbone "C" logo have been introduced. In the team's early history, the Reds logo has been simply the wishbone "C" with the word "REDS" inside, the only colors used being red and white. However, during the 1950s, during the renaming and re-branding of the team as the Cincinnati Redlegs because of the connections to communism of the word "Reds," the color blue was introduced as part of the Reds color combination.<ref>{{cite web |last=Yglesias |first=Matthew |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2012/03/communist_bo_xilai_gets_ousted_why_do_communists_like_red_so_much_.html |title=Communist Bo Xilai gets ousted: Why do communists like red so much? |work=Slate Magazine |date=March 20, 2012 |access-date=June 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618083916/http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2012/03/communist_bo_xilai_gets_ousted_why_do_communists_like_red_so_much_.html |archive-date=June 18, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> During the 1960s and 1970s, the Reds saw a move toward the more traditional colors, abandoning the navy blue. A new logo also appeared with the new era of baseball in 1972, when the team went away from the script "REDS" inside of the "C," instead putting their mascot, Mr. Redlegs, in its place as well as putting the name of the team inside of the wishbone "C." In the 1990s, the more traditional, early logos of Reds came back with the current logo reflecting more of what the team's logo was when they were founded.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Reds Logos|url=https://www.mlb.com/reds/one-fifty/redslogos|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Reds.com|access-date=January 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153321/https://www.mlb.com/reds/one-fifty/redslogos|archive-date=January 14, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Uniforms===
Along with the logo, the Reds' uniforms have been changed many different times throughout their history. Following their departure from being called the "Redlegs" in 1956, the Reds made a groundbreaking change to their uniforms with the use of sleeveless jerseys, seen only once before in the Major Leagues by 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 mustachioed "Mr. Redlegs" 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.

The Reds changed uniforms again in 1961, when they replaced the traditional wishbone "C" insignia with an oval-shaped "C" logo, but continued to use the sleeveless jerseys. At home, the Reds wore white caps with the red bill with the oval "C" in red, white sleeveless jerseys with red pinstripes, with the oval "C-REDS" logo in black with red lettering on the left breast and the number in red on the right. The gray away uniform included a gray cap with the red oval "C" and a red bill. Their gray away uniforms, which also included a sleeveless jersey, bore "CINCINNATI" in an arched block style across with the number below on the left. In 1964, players' last names were placed on the back of each set of uniforms, below the numbers. Those uniforms were scrapped after the 1966 season.

However, the Cincinnati uniform design most familiar to baseball enthusiasts is the one whose basic form, with minor variations, held sway for 25 seasons from 1967 to 1992. Most significantly, the point was restored to the "C" insignia, making it a wishbone again. During this era, the Reds wore all-red caps both at home and on the road. The caps bore the simple wishbone "C" insignia in white. The uniforms were standard short-sleeved jerseys and standard trousers – white at home and gray on the road. The home uniform featured the wishbone "C-REDS" logo in red with white type on the left breast and the uniform number in red on the right. The away uniform bore "CINCINNATI" in an arched block style across the front with the uniform number below on the left. Red, long-sleeved undershirts and plain red stirrups over white sanitary stockings completed the basic design. The Reds wore pinstriped home uniforms in 1967 only, and the uniforms were flannel through 1971, changing to double-knits with pullover jerseys and belt-less pants in 1972. Those uniforms lasted 20 seasons, and the 1992 Reds were the last MLB team to date whose primary uniforms featured pullover jerseys and belt-less pants.

The 1993 uniforms, which did away with the pullovers and brought back button-down jerseys, kept white and gray as the base colors for the home and away uniforms, but added red pinstripes. The home jerseys were sleeveless, showing more of the red undershirts. The color scheme of the "C-REDS" logo on the home uniform was reversed, now red lettering on a white background. A new home cap was created that had a red bill and a white crown with red pinstripes and a red wishbone "C" insignia. The away uniform kept the all-red cap, but moved the uniform number to the left to more closely match the home uniform. The only additional change to these uniforms was the introduction of black as a primary color of the Reds in 1999, especially on their road uniforms.<ref name="RedsUniformHistory" />

The Reds' latest uniform change came in December 2006, which differed significantly from the uniforms worn during the previous eight seasons. The home caps returned to an all-red design with a white wishbone "C," lightly outlined in black. Caps with red crowns and a black bill became the new road caps. Additionally, the sleeveless jersey was abandoned for a more traditional design. The numbers and lettering for the names on the backs of the jerseys were changed to an early 1900s–style typeface, and a handlebar-mustached "Mr. Redlegs" – reminiscent of the logo used by the Reds in the 1950s and 1960s – was placed on the left sleeve.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sheldon|first=Mark|title=Reds unveil new-look uniforms|url=http://m.reds.mlb.com/news/article/1749424/|publisher=Major League Baseball Advanced Media|date=December 1, 2006|access-date=January 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170103165752/http://m.reds.mlb.com/news/article/1749424/|archive-date=January 3, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2023, the Reds and [[Nike, Inc.]] introduced a new [[City Connect]] jersey, which features a modified "C" on the cap and on the sleeve of the jersey. For the Jersey, it features "CINCY" (shorten for Cincinnati) across the chest of the jersey. On the collar, it features an Ohio Buckeye and also features the motto of Cincinnati "Juncta Juvant" (Latin for "Strength of Unity"). The design of the jersey is to inspire the future of the Reds jersey.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sheldon |first1=Mark |title=Reds not living in the past with bold new look for City Connect uniforms |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/reds-city-connect-uniforms-unveiled |website=MLB.com |access-date=May 13, 2023}}</ref>
