I don't try to keep up with all the one-off throwbacks as they're not part of the official uniform set, but the Cubs wear 9 different throwbacks celebrating Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary - one from each decade - plus a throwback worn on the road. Uni Watch has a great article on this, and here they are:
The first team to play at Wrigley, then called Weeghman Park, was the Chicago “Whales” (or Chicago Federals), a team in the Federal League.

1937, with zippers
The first vest, introduced in 1942. The original undershirt had long sleeves with the stripes at the cuff.

The 1988 pullover
And the equally crazy 1994 "Cuba" alternate
