Hey, to each their own. I made it through my first year with one shirt and one pair of pants. If the shirt started to smell, it got washed. If the pants got visibly dirty, they got washed. Managed a full season that way with no problems.
And most guys here have the jacket. I am the exception, but I rarely get cold.

I have to disagree. If you only have one uniform, you will have to wash it much more. I think two or three of each is good (outside uniform) is good if you can afford it. If you get one uniform you better have a washer and dryer in your home, because you might have to wash after every single game under the right circumstances.

Well that might apply to you but not everyone else. I do not like to get cold at all and I use a jacket all the time when I am working the bases. Now this of course depends on what part of the country you live. Living in the Midwest it is difficult to get decent weather during the spring and fall to not be somewhat cold.
Peace
