Yeah, those are pretty bad... though I actually kind of like the Astros' one, but I think just because that's how I remember them growing up. ESPN.com has a regular feature on its "Page 2" section called the "Uni Watch" (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/050330) that is awesome. It usually focuses on some aspect of uniforms - goalie masks, football helmets, stirrups, logos, etc. - and traces it back through history with lots of great pics. It's not strictly ugly uniforms, but it's a great read nonetheless.

As for ugly uniforms...

buffalo's uni's are bad in all sports if for no other reason than the logo is always a pic of the animal that is the name of the town... thats just dumb.

Now that is hideous.

[FOBAgain]

I swear, I have no vested interest in ESPN's "Uni Watch" column that I already mentioned once, but the pic of the Red Sox made me remember this extraordinarily minor detail that they pointed out earlier this year. For one game this year (the day they got their rings, I think) they wore these jerseys with a special gold accent around the letters and numbers:

http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-1940911dt.jpg

The uni isn't ugly, so I'm not really sure why I'm posting it here... just thought it was interesting...

[FOBAgain]

Not necessarily ugly, per se, but maybe one of the oddest mascots/names in all of sports...

What are the Buffalo Bills supposed to have on their logo? Just a letter B or something?

Call me crazy, but I want one of these. That's a killer shirt (but I agree, probably not something you'd want your sports team wearing).

The Browns' ugly orange pants are tacky. And they always seem to play poorly when they wear them.

[RedRigmaJacket]

all of these cavs uniforms (http://www.nba.com/history/uniforms_cavaliers.html) are awful except for the present one with LBJ.

the worst one is the 94-95 uni that terrell brandon is wearing - the black with the baby blue paint splashed across the front.

[Sushi]

The Cavs old orange and blue color combo was... unfortunate.

[akip]

buffalo's uni's are bad in all sports if for no other reason than the logo is always a pic of the animal that is the name of the town... thats just dumb.

yep. this is the identity crisis capital. esp. considering that buffalo was a mispronunciation of beau fleuve, and therefore a misnomer in the first place.

Quite the career for Nigel.


I have been trying to find some good pictures of the "Turn Ahead the Clock" uniforms. They are all gawd-awful.

the browns win - ugliest, crappiest uniforms ever.


and the team sucks too :D

and while we're at it - the cleveland indians uniforms/racist logo sucks too.



and if you're following the pattern, cleveland sucks in general.

If its Brown flush it down. And I hate that Indians logo too, it should be picked on more often. I agree with Cleveland's general suckiness.

seriously, you're right though.
i'll but a nomination up for the grey poupon preds jerseys...
http://www.prolineskates.com/acatalog/nash3rd.jpg
the crest isn't too terrible, but the colors, oh the colors

i'll admit my first thought was the 70s canucks, but i'm pretty sure baseball has the worst jerseys of all sports. at least judging from what you guys posted. did they ever actually use any of those disgusting neon versions?

[The Hegemo]

I seem to be one of the few people alive who loved those old Canuck uniforms. I hate their current uniform:

http://www.playersarena.com/images/AuthenticHome/6100134H.jpg

The colors are boring and the crest screams "corporate logo." Meh.

Hockey uniforms in general have gotten boring since the 1980s. I miss all the bright colors:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/news/2001/05/11/sayitaintso_devils/muller_all.jpg

Etc...

Now all the teams have to have these stupid muted colors, navy blue, three quarters of the league wearing black. Yuck.

The Nashville baby poop colored third jersey really does take the cake, though. I was down there for a game last year, and pretty much all the t-shirts and stuff they had on sale at their team store was that color too. :eek:

it might be dull, but i like the simplicity. and as far as vancouver goes, they don't have a whole lot to choose from.

[The_Deacon]

The three worst uniforms in all of sports are:
1. Ravens
2. Steelers
3. Browns

The two best are:
1. Bengals
2. Seahawks............
.............and thats all I got to say about that.

[Marlowe]

yeah i think the old white sox uni's from the early 80s are a good contender...

http://espn-att.starwave.com/media/other/1999/1216/photo/whitesoxfisk2.jpg

i also hated the old A's uni's from the 70's and those ugly-ass brown padres uni's from the early 80s.

and i think penn state wins hands down for the most boring-est uni's ever.

Pretty much any expansion team that decided on trendy teal or light blue looks pretty bad.

[writerwannabe]

The old Pirates uniforms with the bumblebee striping on the hats or the old Astros uniforms ... take your pick.

Also, every female tennis player's uniform is ugly. Rather than wear those gaudy clothes, they should play in nude.

Sixers' early-90s uniforms. Barkley said they looked like they were designed by a kid with a box of Crayolas. So, of course, here's Sir Charles to model them:

Yes, back then they changed uniforms literally every year. Most of them were horrible but those were the worst...especially with the matching Cons
try googling Jeff Sheppard, Walter McCarty, or Anthony Epps-those 3 come to mind as guys who were playing when they had those unis

I'd like to know who thought, "what these uniforms need is a big rainbow going right across the front."
