The NFL definitely has some sort of league-wide coordination on team designs, and it shows in the readily identifiable uniforms. I think MLB just lets every team do whatever they want.

I find it interesting that when it comes to special events in the NHL, the teams are 'consulted' but the design choices are ultimately the decision of the league office.

The good news is that they've done a remarkable job - from introducing the North Stars / Reverse Retro for the Wild or this year's Winter Classic jerseys.  Truthfully, I was a little 'meh' on the Wild Winter Classic jerseys until I read the press release about the league wanting to highlight the minor league history of Minneapolis / St. Paul minor league hockey.  It's a purposeful echo of Minnesota baseball history - the Wild will be playing in those jerseys under the giant "Minnie and Paul" sign that ties together the special histories of baseball / Twins and hockey / Wild in the Twin Cities metro.  Now I'm actually fired up about the whole idea.

My favorite jersey does not currently exist. The best home uniform, which should be worn 81 times every regular season, is the cream pinstripes of the original team except that the very ugly 1960's script would be supplanted by the 2010-vintage "Twins" script that is currently used on the white pajama home uniforms.

That is what I was thinking.  When I was looking at the photo with the jersey's I was thinking that they are all pretty solid jerseys, except that we don't have any pinstripe uni's!  I think they need to mix those in.
