North Uniforms. In the north, they wore blue uniforms. the uniforms that the north had were very cheap and easy to make if someone ripped thiers. The union soldiers only got one tshirt, and one pair of drawers a year. also, They only got one pair of socks per year. If the soldier was wearing thier coat (which was 99% of the time) they had to have the top botton buttoned or they received a fine. All of the soldiers got thier own bags, cooking utensils, and thier own had also.
