back in the day players would shoe polish their gloves. Now they can customize their gloves for colors. Akadema has a great glove builder to customize your gloves.
The gloves and bats are both chosen by each individual players, yet they don't pay for either. The bats are payed for by their team while the gloves are given to them by the glove manufacturers. Most players sign contracts with glove manufacturers in which not only do they get free gloves, but they get paid to where them. The amount they get obviously varies depending on how big a star they are.

people used their hands and often broke them before the glove was invented The players used their bare hands to catch or knock down the ball. The first players to use baseball gloves were often taunted and teased as being "too soft" or "sissies" because they did not want to catch the ball with their bare hands. The first baseball gloves were used in the 1870s. The basic idea was to create a glove that would pad and protect the players' hands and provide a cushion for catching the ball. Surprisingly, the first gloves were designed so the player could knock the ball to the ground and not necessarily catch it. History's first baseball gloves were made from pieces of leather sewn together to fit over a player's hand. Many early baseball gloves were simple leather gloves with the fingertips cut off, supposedly to allow for the same control of a bare hand, but with extra padding. The adoption of the baseball glove by baseball star Albert Spalding when he began playing first base influenced more infielders to begin using gloves. By the mid 1890s, it was the norm for players to wear gloves in the field. Below I will leave a link to a page about Vintage baseball equipment.
