The Reds began the century sporting the oldest tradition in professional baseball, dating back to 1869. Their uniforms were basically a continuation of the 1890s, white at home, and dark, musty blue on the road. The caps were the standard close-fitting round style with a short bill. Red piping was used on the seams leading up to the red top button and around the base of the crown. A red "C" was also added to the front of the cap around 1900. The home uniform in the first decade of the 1900s was always white and displayed either "CINCINNATI" or variations of a capital "C" on the left breast - a precursor of the standard emblem of future decades. On the road, the city name "CINCINNATI" was continued on the chest in red capital letters on the gray or blue uniforms.
By 1936, the dominance of the color red on the unifroms trimmings had given way to equal billing for navy blue. The cap bill, the undersweaters, the sox, and even the C logo incorporated navy. The overall appearance was brighter, in keeping with the multi-color trimmings of many of the other club uniforms. This inclusion of navy blue was to remain an integral part of the color scheme for the next twenty years. Other events in 1936 included:
* Burt Reynolds was was born in Michigan and would go on to make such classics as Cannonball Run.
* Mr. Jesse Owens was victorious in the 400 meter relay resulting in a fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics.
The most original identifying mark (the Chicago Cubs did it originally in 1940) was the vest with no sleeves jersey. The stockings were still red, but with narrow white stripes. The hats were solid red with a white "C" and the belts were red too. The undershirt sleeves were solid red. The gray road uniforms were identical to the home whites except for the cartoon face in a baseaball ("Old Red") which replaced the C on the left side. The vest won approval from the players and remained a uniform feature until the mid-60s.
They stuck with the standard light uniform through out the 1980s, even though in 1986, they put an optional solid red top with the cities name spelled out. They put stripes down both sides of the pants in 1988, and this was the way it stayed for the next few years, up to and including the World Championship club in 1990.
