Longest Lasting Uniforms

This is hard to judge in some respects. For example, the Red Jersey-White Pants look has been at Nebraska for decades, but they also used to wear brown leather helmets like all of football. So technically, it's a different helmet, and thus, a different uniform.

But football has player equipment as part of the uniform, where baseball and basketball don't (at least not to the degree of helmets having team colors decals, etc). Hockey gets closer, but goalie masks are probably exempt, I'm guessing, due to their uniqueness.

So it makes things a bit fuzzy. I'm fairly sure a number of colleges (Penn State, Alabama, etc) have had the same basic LOOK longer perhaps than the Yankees, but because of technology and helmets, etc, it's not precisely the same uniform, if that makes any sense.

Rams have changed their helmet a couple times - knobby horn, white horn, gold horn, Vegas gold horn. Don't think that makes the list.

thats being a bit pedantic isn't it? you'd have to shorten the Colts' lifetime too due to blue swatch changes, face mask color changes, and stripe alterations if you want to be that detailed, and then how many uniforms even make it 10 years at that measurement?

also, when did they have a knobby horn design? or are you thinking Colorado State?

EDIT - nevermind, the Rams 1949 helmet horn was a bit different. this was the first year Riddell painted the shells and was their own take on the design

That exact uniform for 23 seasons with no tweaks

And it was perfect. Goddam black uni messed it up, then Edge killed it.

What uniforms have had the longest lifespans?

That all depends on how you define a change to a uniform. For example, the Canadiens', Blackhawks' and Red Wings' primary jerseys haven't undergone significant changes since the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, respectively. There have been adjustments here and there, but these:

...are at their cores the same basic designs as what the three teams wear today.

Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions)

King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL)
