Sports' All-Time Ugliest Uniforms

Re: Sports' All-Time Ugliest Uniforms

I wish to second that notion. After a few years of not following baseball, I returned to the fold in 1976. I saw the Sox drop a doubleheader in Baltimore that year. With Bill Veeck and Paul Richards returning to the White Sox that year, I hoped they could recapture some of the magic they had in the 1950s. It was not to be (by a longshot), but Veeck remains one of the all-time great promoters and idea men to this day.
Who couldn't love Alan Bannister, Minnie Minoso, Chet the Jet, Bart Johnson, Buddy Bradford and the other has beens and never were's that comprised this team.

I would love to acquire a jersey from the 1976 to 1981 era. If anyone has any leads on one, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

A 1979 home white Claudell Washington just sold last week in MEARS' auction, for just under $500 (including buyers premium). This was actually a pretty good price, as they are usually in the ballpark of $600-800.

I actually have my eyes open for 2 other collectors, so I am always on the lookout for this style, so you can feel free to join the "list."

If this came out right, this is my nomination for the ugliest uniform. It was worn for 1 game by the San Francisco Spiders hockey team ( IHL) in 1996 on what they called "Tye Dyed Night" These jerseys were auctioned off after the game.

I rank my Colorado Caribous NASL Jersey's at the top of the heap.

That looks like it should have been worn by the cheerleaders instead...

With those tassels, it kind of reminds of the shirt John Travolta's girlfriend wore towards the end of "Urban Cowboy".

Remember the one who played his rich hot girlfriend with the long black hair....Madolyn Smith Osborne is her name...Married to former NHL hockey player Mark Osborne.

I can't post a photo of it at the moment, but I have a tie-dyed green, red and yellow South Bend Silver Hawks jersey that makes your Spiders jersey look downright conservative.

How about this?

I'm surprised these weren't mentioned. I read a similar article and these were mentioned. I personally liked them, it was something different.

Thanks Nick.
I appreciate the Mears auction info. That jersey looked like it is in very
nice condition. It gives me a good indication of an approximate price.
If you want to add me to the list, feel free.

Definitely not a winner, but it's surely gotta be a runner up!
