It really isn't. Because they're not a sports team. That's basically like saying that, because cheerleading teams exist in the real world, the US military should wear mini-skirts and pom-poms into combat, and no one should think that's a weird idea at all if you made a movie where that happened.

The US military is older than cheerleading. If anything, you should be suggesting that cheerleaders dress in Army fatigues. But all that aside, cheerleading isn't a mixed-competitive team activity where you need to identify your teammates from the opposition.

The X-Men are essentially a paramilitary black-ops team. If anything, they should be wearing full-on SWAT gear or other ballistic outfits, preferably with color schemes chosen for each mission to blend in (black or very dark blue for night, green camo for forest or jungle, white for snow, tan for desert, etc). For social dynamic purposes (ie, trying to talk your way into a crime scene past a suspicious security guard) they should probably look as "official" or "military" as possible, not like a PR crayon explosion (ie, the motivation behind Captain America's costume).

....so uniforms?
