One of the most beautiful uniforms in my opinion from the ACW is the uniform of the: 11th Mississippi Infantry

The 20th New York Infantry is one of favorites.
First Sergeant Joseph P. Brevett of Company B, 2nd Maryland Infantry

I like the Confederate Maryland zouave uniform on the left
I also like the very visible, yellow pant-wearing South Carolina Zouaves

Company B of the 1st Louisiana Special Battalion "Wheat's Tigers" is the best Confederate Uniform.
200932114821_CW4.jpg 39th NY is the best Yankee. Straight out of the English Civil War :P (also anyone know if that was their actual uniform? Ive seen paintings with multiple different uniforms and am curios as to which one they actually wore.)

This one, the one you posted is a confederate unit.

I enjoy the raggedness of 1st Texas Infantry's uniforms Texas CSA.jpg, fits in with the rebel vibe. Louisiana's Wheat Tigers louisiana tigers.jpghave neat uniforms too, so bright and colorful! For the Union, i would say either say the Iron Brigade uniforms just because of the Hardee Hats United States Iron Brigade.jpgor the 14th Brooklyn "Red Devils"14th Brooklyn.jpg and maybe the Fire Zouaves at First Manassas 69th New York Zouave Regiment.jpg
