Re: Sports' All-Time Ugliest Uniforms
Their #1 pick, the '76 White Sox and their shorts and collared jerseys, was really more incredibly impractical and bizarre, as a Baseball uni, than it was ugly.
When I first read "Ugliest Uniforms", I thought immediately of the Houston outfits of the late '70s-early '80s, which the article placed at #3.
After seeing that fringed monstrosity apparently worn by the "Caribou of Colorado" (I don't even know what sport they played), though, the Houston uniforms have dropped to second, in my estimation. That had to have been designed by some team official's wife, don't you imagine?Jeff

What about Penn State football uniforms? They all look like a bunch of aspirins looking for a bottle and some cotten.Comment

Re: Sports' All-Time Ugliest Uniforms
OK. it must be that I am a child of the 1970's and a teenager of the 198o's , but I like most of these uni's! Not the NHL jersey shown from the 1990's but the White Sox 1976 era jersey, while unique and classic 1970's thinking to me. The Padres - i prefer the white juersey with bron and gold accents, but this is way better than the Yankees boring gray.
We are family - love the pill box hats! (not sure who can pull off the fashion syle in '09, however.
Perhaps I have no taste? Oh well....I can live with that.Comment

(and I am a Mets collector)
Some jerseys are just classics and you have to respect an era that pushed the limits in every way shape & form. To me, the more they pushed the envelope, the more desirable they are to me.
BTW, I also have my fair share of Turn the Clock Ahead jerseys... surprising they didn't make the list of "ugliest uniforms of all time."Looking for ...

Re: Sports' All-Time Ugliest Uniforms
I remember going to a Diamondbacks game, years ago, when they were wearing some pretty odd-looking TTCA jerseys. The players' names on the back were printed sideways, running from top to bottom, on one side...but, of course, the jerseys were tucked in, so the back of the starting pitcher, Todd Stottlemyre, just said "STOTTL".Jeff

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,

I also can relate to the "STOTTL" -- I have a "HERSHISER" Mets TATC jersey (also a retail version), and the name seems to run very far down the back that I thought that there was no way it could have ever been displayed in full.Looking for ...
