Ugliest uniforms ever

[maumann]

The brick-red top to bottom Cleveland Indians mid-'70s togs were ugly.
I didn't care much for the orange pullover S.F. Giants unis of the same era.
And the banana yellow Pirates? Ye Gods.

Are we allowed to put up Oregon football unis or is that a category unto itself?

In those uniforms' defense, they do serve one purpose, namely reminding students it's a good idea to use a highlighter on key passages in their textbooks.

You mean the choice of white pinstripe, mustard yellow or black interchangeable jerseys, pants and socks didn't do it for you? How 'bout those pillbox caps?

Two kinds of pillbox caps! Black and yellow or yellow and black!

I don't remember seeing them actually worn, but I had a Braves pillbox cap I got at Fulton County Stadium way back when.
I'm not real sure why I bought that.

I had a Pirates one long ago - great for keeping a pack of cigarettes in.

Game 7 of the 1979 World Series. Greatest "color game" in baseball history or the worst? Discuss.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

I like them.

 

[3_Octave_Fart]

I do as well.

The Pirates have had great uniforms over the years.

 

[Batman]

The early 2000's Bills uniforms were pretty damn hideous.

 

[HanSenSE]

Always among the leaders.

The "teal era" in uniform history is worthy of a 30 for 30.

They had good teams in the 80s, but painful to watch (visually).

Never heard of such a thing.

Ye gods. Cataracts don't seem so bad now.

Maybe the thickest racing stripe ever.

Count me as pro the Pirates 1970's uniforms. The team had an incredible number of possible uniform combinations and the pillbox hats with stars were awesome.

 

[Batman]

Most baseball teams now have at least one alternate jersey, but who was the first? Was it those 1970s Pirates? Did the A's have a couple of different uniforms before that during the Charlie Finley era? Was it someone even earlier than that?

Being the unabashed '90s nostalgia junkie that I am, I would seriously watch that.

Uni Watch: When the sport world was laughing in the purple rain

Purple and teal were everywhere in the 90s. Throw in every team adding black unis and it seemed like every other new franchise in arena football or minor league baseball team was some version of 'Dogs, Dawgs etc.
