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

Here's my picks:

MLB: Houston Astros “Tequila Sunrise”
NFL: Current Seahawks alternative
NBA: Vancouver Grizzlies (because they had a picture of ‘Big Country’)
NHL: Vancouver Canucks “Flying V” (possibly the worst uniform EVER)
Short-Lived: White Sox short pants (also possibly the worst uniform ever)
Minor Leagues: El Paso Diablos
NCAA: NC State “Leotard”
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:

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...

Blackhawks in Chicago

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

And the Houston Texans are...

… the Houston Texans.

Confusing.

Those aren't half as bad as these:

Poor Donovan.

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.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)

Really, worst uni should punish form and function before

wacky color combinations are knocked.

White Sox wore Shorts, enough said.

Southside Beer Leaguers

in a landslide. Greg Luzinsky must still be shuddering

all have good uniforms.

they may not win often but at least they look good doing it.

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.

by dmlichte on Nov 5, 2009 10:59 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

According to...

this, that “PHX” is still part of the team’s official logo.

yup...

… there it is. Just another part of the dumbing down of America. Guess we can’t expect people to spell out the entire name of a city.

by dmlichte on Nov 6, 2009 9:14 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

In the same general area.....

Portland has alts this year with the town’s nickname on the front….

Not sure that’s ever happened before.

Well, except for these.

I think this is a throwback, but the Warriors wore this logo for many years:

1976 White Sux shorts.

I mean really. Is that any way for a grown man to dress?

When Bill Veeck hit a clunker, they were doozies…

Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
