I personally prefer the uniforms of regular Union units such as:

2nd Wisconsin of the Iron Brigade:

Not keen on that at all.

My personal favorite would have to be the uniform of Irish regiments, particularly the 69th New York.

You mean the New York Shell jacket?

The Irish Regiments were equiped with those lovely pieces :)

Although it wouldn't be considered a uniform, i really like the way the Confederates were dressed in a mishmash of their clothes from home, due to cloth becoming scarce in the south.

To be honest, its not really a mishmash of their "home clothes". If you are looking at that picture, you actually see regular army jackets and pants. Different styles of shell jackets and official equipment.
Some of the hat gear might be private equipment, but the rest in that picture is actually pretty much a regulation of official army equipment and uniforms :)

The confederate army had a kinda high regulation style in their uniforms. But it might look a bit confusing for others (compared to all these blue yankee uniforms), since they are using different jacket colors and hats :)
