===Past designs=== Prior to unveiling their current look, the Cubs went through a variety of uniform looks in their early years, incorporating either a "standing cub" logo, a primitive version of the "C-UBS" logo, a "wishbone C" mark (later adopted by the [[Chicago Bears]] of the [[National Football League|NFL]]), or the team or city name in various fonts. The uniform itself went from having pinstripes to racing stripes and chest piping. Navy blue and sometimes red served as the team colors through the mid-1940s when the team switched to the more familiar royal blue and red color scheme.<ref name=Cubsjerseys1/> After unveiling the first version of what later became their current home uniform in 1957, the Cubs went through various changes with the road uniform. It had the full team name in red letters for its first season, before going to a more basic city name in blue letters with red trim. A cub head logo was also added to the sleeves in 1962, with several alterations coming afterward. By 1969, the red trim was removed, and chest numbers were added. Switching to pullovers in 1972, the Cubs' road uniform remained gray, but the chest numbers were moved to the middle before returning to the left side the following year. This was then changed to a powder blue base in 1976, added pinstripes in 1978, and added player names the following year. From 1982 to 1989, the Cubs wore blue tops with plain white pants for road games, featuring the primary Cubs logo in front and red letters with white trim.<ref name=Cubsjerseys1/><ref name=Cubsjerseys2/> In 1990, the Cubs returned to wearing gray uniforms with buttons on the road. However, it also went through some cosmetic changes, from a straight "Chicago" wordmark with red chest numbers (later with a taller font and red back numbers), to a script "Cubs" wordmark written diagonally. The sleeve patches also changed, originally with both the primary logo and the "angry cub" alternate before removing the former and changing to the "cute cub" patch in the mid-1990s. A blue alternate uniform returned in 1994, also incorporating the script "Cubs" wordmark in red minus the chest numbers and incorporated the "cute cub" sleeve patch. This was then changed to the "walking cub" logo in 1997, which was also incorporated as a sleeve patch on the road uniform. From 1994 to 2008, the Cubs also wore an alternate road blue cap with red brim. In 2014, the Cubs wore a second gray road uniform, this time with the block "Cubs" lettering with blue piping and red block numbers, but only lasted two seasons.<ref name=Cubsjerseys2/><ref name=Cubsjerseys3/> {{multiple image | footer = [[Kris Bryant]] in the current home uniform; [[Cody Bellinger]] in the current road uniform; [[Javier Báez]] in the current alternate road uniform; [[Mark Prior]] wearing the road red-brimmed blue cap (now retired); [[Aaron Miles]] in the alternate home uniform (now retired). | align = center | total_width=1000 | image1 = Kris Bryant on April 27, 2015.jpg | image2 = Cody Bellinger (7883003) (cropped).jpg | image3 = Javier Báez (35908854566).jpg | image4 = Mark Prior 2006 (Cropped).jpg | image5 = Aaron Miles Cubs 2009.JPG }} {{multiple image | footer = Cubs players wearing the pinstriped pullover home uniform in 1988 with [[President of the United States|President]] [[Ronald Reagan]]; 1990 road uniform worn by [[Paul Assenmacher]] with the [[1990 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] patch; [[Phil Regan (baseball)|Phil Regan]] in 1969 wearing the pinstriped home uniform; [[Harry Chiti]] in 1953 wearing the road uniform. | align = center | total_width=1000 | image1 = Ronald Reagan in the Cubs dugout.jpg | image2 = CHI1990R45.jpg | image3 = Phil Regan 1969.jpg | image4 = Harry Chiti.jpg }}
