Best and Worst Uniforms in Sports

Would have to have been any of the While Sox jerseys from about 1975 (the big wide collars and the Capri pant look) through the late '80's (the double knit pullovers with "SOX" across the front).

I have never liked Chicago, but when they went to a normal uniform, even I stood up and cheered.

Circa late 70's...Followed closely by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the same era.

...that the Detroit Redwings wear are certainly up there among the best, as are the University of Michigan's football uniforms (NB: I have no connection with, or rooting interest in, any teams from the state of Michigan...but they do have nice duds!)  

When it comes to baseball, the classics rule. Much as I can't stand them, the Yanks have great uniforms, as do the Cubbies, Cards, and Tigers. So do the Red Sox, though I preferred their old, drabber road unis to their newer ones.

And if we're gonna go international, Brazil's soccer uniforms are terrific as are New Zealand's Raider-like rugby uniforms.

The Padres' brown and yellow scheme was probably the worst.

They are atrocious and I think the only people that love them must root for the Ducks.  Heck... I'm ready to like anything green and gold but those things look like an incomplete design at best.  Why do they think it's so great to have a million uniform variations?

Not a Raiders fan at all but those unis are sick in a good way.  They are simple yet pretty damn cool.

...the University of Washington's Purple and Gold motif.

I like the Cal helmet, but their uniforms are terrible, IMO.

The Raiders have the best helmets in football, and black looks good with everything. So, yeah, the Raiders rule, but they're almost too easy of a selection.

At the moment, I'm really digging Arsenal's home kit.  I know it's hard for many American sports fans to get used to the advertisements emblazoned across the front of European team jerseys, but the white Fly Emirates logo looks pretty clean against that red jersey. And during particularly cold games, the whole team where's black gloves. They look soooo cool! GO GUNNERS!!!

Wish they had better players to put in them :-(.

are not stylish at all. Very plain. The Unis I like are worn by the St. Louis Cardinals. The worst unis are worn by the SF Giants IMO. The cream color leaves me cold.

...but I agree that Oregon football is the worst.

I'm not a fan of any football uniform where the top is the same color as the pants -- particularly for orange and relatively dark colors like purple and (especially) black.

Most overrated uniform of all time: The powder-blue San Diego Charger uniforms of the '60s/'70s.  They're OK, but maybe I'm just tired of Chris Berman drooling over them.

Baseball: I'm biased for the A's, of course, but I've always thought the current Mariners unis are pretty cool.  I even think the Angels' unis are OK except for the red A on red cap, or red text on red tops.  As a former scorekeeper from a press box, I like to be able to read the names and numbers.

Oh, and the Indians should drop that awful smirking Chief Wahoo logo entirely.  Use a "C", use that cursive "I" more, but please retire that logo for good.

had to fix up the pic for you

used to be the San Jose Sharks.  Last year's jerseys were just awesome.  I can't stand their new uniforms though.  Just ugly and busy.  Who thought adding orange to a teal uni was a good idea?

I'd say the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers are probably two of my favorites.

The worst?  Hard to say, but I think orange is one of the worst colors for uniforms and both the Giants and Flyers use them.  The Eagles throwback unis from earlier this season were pretty putrid.  

New Zealand All-Blacks.

cardinals are the best in baseball, and i think there are about 10 NFL teams with better uniforms than the raiders.

So, FSU, are you still on the side of goodness and righteousness, after the Illini set the table for your match-up?

and then this happened:

Pret-ty good.  

I really like the Dallas Cowboys throwback uniforms with the big star on the sleeve, and I really like when the A's wear the throwback yellow tops!  The worst are the Astros striped jerseys (my junior college softball team actually had a similar top, which I hated) and the Chicago White Sox in shorts.  

I'm diggin' baseballgirl for saying what I am thinking. I know I am a very much biased about my love for the Raiders, but I do still think we have the best uniform.

I've always enjoyed the way keeping the uniform unchanged in appearance does do honor to the past.

Raiders are throwback everyday and though the team is down now, wearing a Raiders jersey means something.

There are a few teams out there like that. It is like a Notre Dame helmet -- no matter how you cut it, that still means something.

The worst uniform in sports:

Hull City Tigers (I just found this one!)

Worst sponsor to ruin a perfectly good uniform:

Portsmouth FC

Ugly feels fulfilled.
