Uniforms!
I have a weird fascination with uniforms. I don’t know what it is, but that’s something I like to pay attention to. Uni-watch is an awesome blog that focuses just on uniforms. I can just scroll through the blog and check out one team that changed the font on their alternate uniforms or another team that added a patch on their sleeve. I could care less what Reese Witherspoon is wearing on the red carpet, but for some strange reason I really care about the bird logo on the Orioles hats J.J. Hardy is wearing this season.
One thing I like about uniforms in particular is the bad ones. Some jerseys are so bad they are awesome. Denver Nuggets fans know what I’m talking about. This blog is devoted to the really bad major league uniforms. It’s not ranking of the worst uniforms, we’ll let you make the judgments on that. Enjoy!
You can’t have a list of bad uniforms without these Astros unis. Maybe people couldn’t take Nolan Ryan seriously in this uniform, and that’s how he racked up 1,866 strike outs as an Astro.
Whoa that’s A LOT of orange! Are they going hunting?
Shorts? Give Bill Veeck credit for trying different things, but this uni change made his team look like a high school softball team.
This combination of colors is pretty bad, but for some reason I like these unis.
The Phillies had some sweet powder blues, but then they also had these. Teams try to avoid wearing too much of one color.
In 1999, MLB made teams wear “futuristic” uniforms and this was the result. I don’t think there are words to describe how bad these unis are.
What do you think? Let us know some other bad uniforms. Let us know on facebook or twitter.
