Players in the "wrong" uniforms


Recommended Posts

Warren Moon was a Chief?  Yeah that's a weird one.  The Vikings had several straight seasons where they had success with QBs better known for being on other teams (Moon, Cunningham, Jeff George) but in none of those cases would I consider their VIkings jersey to be "wrong" - just not their "right" jersey.  Moon in KC?  Wrong.  Cunningham in DAL or BAL?  Wrong.  George in WAS (even though he was only in MIN for a season)?  Wrong.

Keith Byars wearing #42.  Had no idea this happened (also had no idea he was on the Patriots '96 Super Bowl team):

Joey Beauchamp played for Oxford United from 1989-1994 and 1995-2002 for a total of 382 games.

In 1994-1995 he played 38 games for our most bitter rivals, Swindon Town FC. Joey just looks wrong in anything other than Yellow and Blue.

Even his brief stint as a West Ham player. (0 games palyed in 1994 pre-season) is wrong:

I don't consider Warren Moon as a Viking to be the "wrong uniform." Warren Moon as a Seahawk, yes. As a Chief, yes. As a Viking, no.

 I guess I'm saying this as a Houstonian who was about to be indocrinated into the Blue fandom until Bud Adams snatched it away.

Yeah, Moon was a backup on the Chiefs at the very end of his NFL career. He was either 43 or 44 in his last season.

I can understand that. Man, that must have been awful. I'm an Ohioan and, while I've never been a Browns fan and in fact live a good 4 hours from Cleveland, I was quite upset about Modell moving them to Baltimore.

Dude should never have bought that airplane.

For real. It would've been way cheaper to just tip his servers instead. Then he wouldn't be broke today and he wouldn't have been called "No Tippin' Pippen" in his Bulls days.

This makes me think the Angels should add yellow as a trim color. Yes, Lincecum in an L.A. uniform looks a bit odd, but the overall picture looks kind of cool.

 

They had yellow halos from 1971 to 1992.  It helped distinguish them a bit from the other navy & red teams.
