With the Padres, Astros and Pirates

options through the years, why should the Cubs appear with respect to baseball. If even close, the White Sox shorts jump ahead.

if this was still new to me, i wouldn't understand

MLB: Houston Astros “Tequila Sunrise”

Soccer: Caribous of Colorado (They have tassles for pete’s sake!)
Misc. Football: XFL, just on principle

I don't have to open any links to know that without a doubt, hands down the ugliest uniform ever is...

…whatever abomination the Denver Broncos were wearing a few weeks ago.

I don't get the whole throwback jersey fad.

I think the marketing people have forgotten WHY those uniforms are no longer worn. They’re UGLY!!!!

Hey, it's a new century!

Some of them are.

Depends on how far you “throw back”. Both the Indians and Phillies reverted to old-style uniforms that are far better than their 1970’s era jerseys.

Compare the Patriots then vs now....

For every Broncos throwback that was ugly, you have a Patriots, Bills, and Oilers one that were/ are far superior to the current uniform.

Oilers?

You mean the Titans? Yep, those are awful. But whoever thought of these should be… well, unemployed, at least:

The Titan throwbacks are the old Oilers uniforms...

Which is weird because...

The same owner though...

…who moved the Oilers to Tennessee. In fact, I think they were the “Tennessee Oilers” their first year.

Even more bizarre.

How much oil is there in Tennessee?

About the same as the amount of "Jazz" in Utah...

Those aren't half as bad as these:

These were pretty bad, too. (Bears 1994 throwbacks)

honestly i

if there had been a decent player on the team that year i’d probably have one of those jerseys, but the 94 bears really weren’t worth remembering.

Californi Golden Seals

But they picked the wrong uniform. Should have gone with the uni once Charlie Finley bought them. Green and Gold uniforms with white skates.

Really, worst uni should punish form and function before

wacky color combinations are knocked.

White Sox wore Shorts, enough said.

Two that didn't make the cut

The camo Padres jerseys. I appreciate that they’re honoring the area military presence, but man, they’re ugly.

Also, a few years back the Phoenix Suns had a jersey that just had “PHX” on the front, instead of Phoenix. Not so sure they were that hideous, but I’m not sure what marketing guru thought that was a good idea. Maybe they were doing cross promotion with Phoenix International Airport.
