You need to choose the best Minor League jersey of 2015 right now

Vote for your favorite MiLB jersey right now

By Gemma Kaneko

We're all familiar with Jerry Seinfeld's opinion about team allegiances -- we're just, in his words, "cheering for clothes." So why not, you know, actually cheer for clothes? No one is better than the Minor Leagues at putting together inspired and strange uniform sets, and now no one is better at making those uniforms actually do battle.

The Jersey Joust is pitting promotional MiLB uniforms against each other, and you can help determine the best here until voting closes on Aug. 25.

Here are the current leaders:

If your favorite hasn't cracked the top four (and we admit it, that Lando Calrissian jersey is pretty hard to beat), remember: You can help it gain a lead by voting as many times as you want. Here are a few we'd like to see get a boost:

1. U.S.A. Eagle Jersey (Arkansas Travelers, Angels Double-A affiliate)

The Travelers are clear winners in the special category for Most America Per Jersey award we just made up. Vote for the eagle. It would vote for you, because it respects and values democracy.

2. Mr. Rogers Sweater Jersey (Altoona Curve, Pirates Double-A affiliate)

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. Would you vote for this jersey? Could you vote for this jersey? Please won't you vote for this jersey?

3. Rugrats Jersey (Frederick Keys, Orioles High-A affiliate)

Among many, many nostalgia jerseys, the Keys' uniform set stands out due to its full commitment to the look:

Help Chuckie be the hero for once. 

4. Tennessee Ugly Christmas Sweater Jersey (Tennessee Smokies, Cubs Double-A affiliate)

There are many ugly Christmas sweater jerseys, but this the only one that appears to have shrunk in the wash. For that bit of next-level thinking, it deserves your vote.

5. Fresno Tacos Jersey (Fresno Grizzlies, Astros Triple-A affiliate)

Maybe we're just hungry, but look! They put a taco on a hat:

Voting for tacos is almost as good as eating them, right?
