Top Ten Worst Unis of All Time

8
Vote

by user Dukeboy999


10. Chicago White Sox 1982-86: This horrible looking uniform actually didn't have too bad of a color scheme. It just looked like someone was designing with the lights off. Thank god for pinstripes.

9. Philadelphia 76ers 1991-94: Sir Charles never looked worse. Someone was out of control with the airbrush in this one. It looks like a cross between a rec league jersey and a dream team jersey.

8. Hartford Whalers 1982-83: Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to switch from shorts to pants in hockey. Whoever did was quickly laughed out of a job. Puke green as the major color didn't help either.

7. Anaheim Mighty Ducks 1995-96: Southern California hockey teams must have been experimenting with drugs this season. As we will later see, the Kings also messed up this years unis. This was a bad off shoot of the jersey from the movie Mighty Ducks One. "Hey Charlie!"

6. Orlando Thunder 1991-92: Another great contribution to society from the WFL. If I wasn't partial to lime green this would have made the top five for sure. At least this established one rule in sports for the rest of time; lime green and blueish gray don't mix.

5. Los Angeles Kings 1995-96: This was truly a mistake from square one. The "Burger King" jersey would have looked better in brown and gold. Metallic silver and purple just dont scream hockey to me. Or good uni scheme.

4. Houston Astros 1975-79: The sunrise unis were not that ugly, actually more on the funny side. Many people refer to them as the tequilla sunrise unis. Whoever made them had to have had plenty of tequilla while doing it. Will always provide us with a lasting image of Nolan Ryan.

3. Detroit Pistons 1996-2000: Once again proves that turquoise does not go well in sports. Especially with a flaming horse is on the front. Notice how once they tossed the unis, the team did well?

2. San Diego Padres 1980-84: The two remaining unis are truly the two ugliest pieces of cloth ever to grace the sporting arena. Nothing says old spanish style housing like these unis. The brown, orange, and red isn't the best color combo man has ever invented. But the designer shouldn't be blamed as much as the guy who made them wear brown on brown on a few rare occasions.

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1976-1996: After reading the first nine, was there any doubt this laughing stock uni would be number one? The only thing worse than using this as your team's uniform is deciding to keep it for 20 years. The sherbet orange wasn't nearly as bad as the gay pirate on the helmet - also in orange.

Where'd you get this list, ESPN.com?? What's your sources?

I don't think you are old enough to remember the Buccaneers Unis... or else you'd remember that they were cool (it was the team that made them ugly) and their helmets were the main reason Dwayne lost Roger and ReRun's bets against the Raiders. I still have an orange "Buc 'Em Up" T shirt.

and yeah I voted for it for one simple reason - I commented on it. (I'll reference myself as the source on this one) When you said you get paid to write, I hope you don't get paid for articles like these, or I'll have to call your boss and take your job...

I don't see any photos. In order to enjoy this article, it needs two things: (1) It needs to be written well and (2) pictures of the unis for readers to see and comment on.

WHY do you "have" a Bucs jersey if you think they're so ugly?

so you accuse me of using ESPN as my source (which I NEVER would do), then less than 24 hours later you basically reproduce a story from ESPN (props for going "insider" on us, minus for not offering your password to let non-insiders read your... I mean Paul Lukas' article). Reminds me of the old "fox smells it's own hole" conundrum.

Don't take it personally, don't accuse others of what you do, just bring something good to the 'chair and we (your increasingly demanding readers - now that we know you're a REAL pro on the site) will enjoy it... that's all

(I can tolerate your tiepoes if you can understand my parenthetical tendencies)

And while I'm at it... "Top 10 Worst" is a blatent oxymoron. Is this the Top 10 of ALL the worst unis? Wouldn't that also make it the worst of the most extra average?

Ok I didnt say I had an inside source as in I knew a coach. I took pictures from ESPN.com. I never said I had a story that I stole from them. And they were never ranked on ESPN. Just admit I write good articles.

You may not think so today, but some of those unis were great in their day. Even more so, they are memorable.

Why are people voting for this article? no pictures, nothing particularly interesting, just comment banter... this is a sad sack of a front page opinion.

What? Each uni reference came with at least two slapped together non-insightful sentences EACH!!! It has fashion designers on drugs, too much tequila and the ever-creative "gay pirate" reference! What else do you want in an article?
