The 1993 Cincinnati Reds season was the team's last as members of the National League West, finishing in fifth place. The team introduced new uniforms, being the last in MLB to abandon the 1970s/80s pullover jersey/beltless pants combo; the new look reintroduced sleeveless vests and a pinstriped cap; this look would hold until 1998.[1][2]
