What Are The Worst Sports Uniforms Ever?
not neccesarily the uniform of a team you despise. Something loud and garish and really hard on the eyes.

My nominees

The 1967 San Francisco Warriors



The 1978 Washington Bullets

21. I always found the BOSOX uniforms charming
I only wish that all the players would display their sox...! Makes the outfit mucho mejor, in my opinion. The spring training outfits could use work, but hey, who cares. I like the current home and away get ups.

Of course, I am probably your opposite number--I find the prison stripes of the Yanquis totally hideous!

Rivalry...ain't it grand!

15. The Chicago White Sox "Hot Pants" jerseys of the 70's..

18. The POLYESTER ERA
...in ANY sport!!! AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

The ugly, garish baseball uniforms, with the colors of '70's kitchens--almond, orange, harvest gold!!! The absurd football getups, with the painted-on pants! That continues to this day!

ANY basketball uniform back in the seventies, with the "hot pants" for the gents playing the game--amazing, given the paucity of coverage, that one never saw more than one ball on the court! Obviously, there was some profound 'athletic supporting' going on--not a single Janet Jackson (south) moment that I can recall (or perhaps the media failed to cover...).

Man, the BULLETS...remember when they changed the name? I can understand dumping the BULLETS, but come on, the WIZARDS??? Still can't wrap my head around that shit choice! I'd go for ANY other name--Monuments, Senators, LazyAssDCCops, FerShitCongressmen, anything!!!!

Universally despised, if the team was better perhaps they might be overlooked...

36. I do not disagree...
The green and white uniforms are just great but I do not want to see a so-so team that loses to New Mexico wearing them as they get routed by Arizona State, for example!

Like I alluded to earlier...if they could go 10-1 or 9-2 each season instead of 6-6 or 5-6 like they have lately I would have no problem whatsoever what colors they wear!

34. I'm actually a big fan of the Bullets old-school jersey, but


The silver ones the Mavs wore were just terrible.



Never liked this one either

37. The San Diego Padres camouflage uniforms...
When they have a special day to salute the military in their town, the Pads wear these really hideous camouflage uniforms:

I mean no disrespect to the military in any way, but baseball uniforms just shouldn't look like this. Maybe the team is hoping not to be noticed?
