(probably)notabandwagonfan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would say baseball, however, pullovers in the '70s and '80s, as well as the ever changing length of pants makes that a tough call. basketball had short shorts, high socks, and the '90s. Football had the evolution of helmets and the short jersey era (whatever that is called). Soccer has had the introduction of ads. I know nothing about hockey... So which sport do you think has the most timeless look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hockey. The basics of a hockey uniform have remained unchanged, save for that two year experiment with Cooperalls that never expanded beyond two teams.

MellowTheMyth Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Baseball and hockey come to my mind, definitely. Then you have other sports like golf, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This one is easy. 1927 on the left, present day on the right.1. Baseball2. Soccer3. Basketball4. Hockey5. FootballBasically, equipment has advanced, which lends itself to a different aesthetic. The less equipment a sport requires, the less it will change.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

OnWis97 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 My first thought was baseball. You can go pretty far back and see the Yankees and some other have pretty much un-changing looks. Of course you can make that claim for hockey as well. I am looking at the "big 4" here. No college (since football/hoops change constantly anyway)I don't fault anyone for changing equipment needs (batting helmets, football sleeve loss, even long hoops shorts, etc.)I think it's between NHL and MLB. NBA has very few looks that would even resemble the 80s. Their alts are the worst offenders (Christmas alts, sleeves, etc.) NFL is playing its way out with the Bucs, Seahawks, Jags...While some of their changes (Broncos, old Vikes, etc.) are because we don't use sleeves any more, they don't have to do that (see Lions and Steelers). There are some iconic looks but all the funny number fonts, etc. kill it for me.NHL, as pointed out by Ice Cap, has not really done anything too egregious. You still have the Original 6 looking great but I feel that most of the other teams downgrade every chance they get.But MLB did throw the 70s/80s sansabelts, power blues, and pullovers at us. Most of that junk is gone but history counts. I am probably biased because with MLB uniforms we almost never bitch about the manufacturer (cannot even think of who it is). And what I mean by that is that the uniforms, for the most part, are not too "out there" in design. MLB uniforms essentially "keep it simple" (though they make up for it with batting practice, stars/stripes, etc.). I don't love every MLB uniform, but it's definitely last in the big 4 in terms of "clown suits." Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

JayMac Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 This is what a short jersey isNo! This is what a short jersey is:The short jersey, or what I call a midriff jersey, was a terrible look. I grew up watching college football when they were prominent and I couldn't stand them back then. I'd say the looks today are much better when it comes to college football jerseys. The most timeless to me is hockey. Baseball is good besides the pajama pant look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahaye7 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 gotta say hockey and soccer come the closest. Hoops shorts are longer, Baseball pants are pajamas, football has helmets with facemasks and bikershorts.
