My SBN stopped working for a bit, but I love the M's uniforms.
They choose a theme (the sea/seafaring) that fits their city and stay with it throughout their uniform design (the compass and the hint of teal lining the navy blue). I also really like the M’s font because it’s not cursive like most (although cursive is usually fine, like the Dodgers’ unis), but the Mariners’ font makes the uniform unique and distinctive. It’s probably one of my top five favorite mlb uniforms.

Overall, I'd agree that script (you mean cursive, right?) logos are probably best.
But I only really like them when they’re a classic logo for the team (e.g. the Dodgers, Royals, etc.). I don’t like them much when teams that didn’t have them before adopt them – it makes the cursive seem overused to me. But that’s just me.
Also, Sportslogos is awesome – it has a database of almost every mlb uniform used since the early 20th century.
