Uniforms are described in a newspaper clipping entitled "Bloomer Girls Prove Playing Ability by Driving Male Pitcher from Mound," May 4, 1922, source unknown, as follows: The players wear "natty maroon uniforms of bloomers, middy blouses, with 'New York' across their breasts, and maroon caps with white peaks. Instead of the petite shoes worn by members of their sex, the girls proved they were real diamond stars by wearing regulation spiked shoes."
