40+ years of a nostalgia and a Dynasty will cover up a lot. at least it's indicative of the team's location and nickname unlike the Thunder...

only played a few times from '76-'77 until the Flames left after '79-'80.

regardless of the "O" or the "C" all I ever see if a fish head on an ice cream cone in front of a watermelon. I can only imagine the amount of acid the artist who rendered that was on for it to look like a "seal" to him.

eh same Leafs uniform just a different numerical font.

Sabo is only in the wrong uniform if he's wearing contact lenses.

Seriously everyone...post names of hockey/soccer/obscure players.The file name "Islanders-Fisherman-Fishsticks-Logo-2015.jpg" tells us nothing. That's John Tavares. Not exactly obscure.or ya know one could use the Google

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Twins and Brewers play in the same division these uniforms threw back to? They weren't in the same Division, but they were both in the AL so they played about 12-13 times a year so this match-up wasn't all too "unique"

Lightning came into the NHL in 92-93, Whalers moved to Carolina for the 97-98 season, so you have roughly 5 seasons of that matchup. Teams were in the same conference for four of those years so this likely occurred about 20 times.

Pudge went to World Series' with the Marlins and the Tigers. And then played for about 4 other teams before he retired. He played nearly half his career in a uniform other than Texas. You can keep, Juan Gonzalez.

Michael Peca as a Leaf was always a weird one for me. Or as a Canuck, or an Oiler, or a Blue Jacket....

Ah yes, we'll never forget his epic and storied 2 and a 2/3 year career as an Oakland A.

jeez, can you atleast wait until the guy actually ya know, wears the actual jersey?

Jared Lorenzen, much like the Universe itself, is infinitely expanding. Here's a fun fact, the "Hefty Lefty" has as many Super Bowl rings as Peyton Manning.

Was never a fan of those Atlanta jerseys from 1966,, they did add stripes to sleeves at one point and it improved the look: But for my money, they looked vastly better come 1971 when they went to a red uni.

Nope. The final year of that logo was the last season pre-San Jose Sharks.Damn would've been a nice looking game. the strange part is that many of the "N" North Stars actually became the Sharks. The teams first matchup looked like this:

Christmas Devils vs the "Big V" Canucks Only happened 6 times between 1982 (when Devils came into existence) and 1985 (when the Canucks went to the motion skate logo).

Good one! That's the second biggest "wow" moment for me on this thread after pewter Bucs vs. old Jets. PS: How good do the Lions look here? So very, very good. Put the new lion on that set and we're good.

The Jaguars helmet needs to be just one color. GOLD is that color.

yeah he really lit up the Lions 2nd string defense with all those TD's...

If they somehow end up in San Antonio, I'd definitely want them to keep the Silver & Black. Call them the Gunslingers if you must, but keep the Silver & Black. Why not the San Antonio Riders? Didn't they have a WAFL team or something called the Riders once? Just drop the "a" ... problem solved. Yes. And they actually had one of the better brown uniforms in recent memory. Unfortunately, they also employed this guy

The Jets are just a litany of wrong uniforms for about the last decade or so.

More like "EPPS READY FOR KERNING" Amirite? *crickets*

This matchup isn't rare at all, it happened 2 a year for 10 yearsBut the last time on old turf! Matchups don't necessarily mean uniforms, it could be field or court designs as well. This is a rare matchup thread not rare uniform. It's the thread of rare matchups of team uniforms. Pointing out differences in playing surface is a bit of a stretch.

The "Black Jays" would've been doable if they incorporated some more blue into the uniform. Like a blue cap with a black brim or a blue trim or something. As it was, they were unrecognizable as the "Blue Jays." As for the Roid Jay, the mascot itself was fine, but it was a bit busy for a cap logo, and I've always appreciated how the Jays were one of the few teams who didn't have a letter on their caps.
