The Atlanta Hawks' uniforms aren't even that bad. Yes, they have some questionably trendy colors going on there, but I think they go together quite nicely. My only complaint is that they didn't go all-out on their triangular pattern.

 

 

By the way, that "firebird" logo is cool.

I want to see a Volt Green set. It should glow in the dark, as should all other Volt Green elements of their uniforms.

Wow, those are some *giant* pants stripes! I suppose they fit the name okay...

Also, not sure why I posted more or less the same thing twice...

I've always loved the blue pants that the Giant's wore in the mid 70's.

Another Giants uniform that is much better than what they got on right now!

Wow. Those are some humongous pants stripes.

Yes, but I think retired numbers should be reserved for hall of famers.  Have a team hall of fame if you want to honor great players who didn't make it to the actual hall of fame.

I understand what you mean, but it's ultimately up to each team, as it should be.

That mid-2000s Piston concept looks like every bad design from the early to late 2000s - weird panels, dumb swooshes, and other unnecessary design elements that were quickly added and later quickly dumped. I think the Atlanta Falcons Arizona Cardinals are the only teams still championing the dream of early 2000s bad design.

Bengals too, unfortunately...also, don't forget the Patriots' blue side panels on their blue jerseys.

I disagree. The shape of the panels on the back is much better than how they terminate on the front.

See, I think the back looks awkward. From the front they just look like stripes, and you can see both of them. From the back they look pre-2015 Clipper-ish. Not terrible, but a bit awkward and unoriginal.

Awkward, ugly, pointless... seems about right for Adidas.

I actually like it from the front but it doesn't look good from behind. Kind of like a reverse butterface.

Beautiful work.  A version sans orange would be even better.  I can't understand for the life me why the Padres won't embrace brown and yellow as their colour scheme.

Personally I like it better when they have orange. I felt like their late-80s set could've been so much better if they hadn't been so minimalist/lazy with it.

Fred and Cliff would agree.  Charley and Paul would disagree since they both wore the same number (as did Ronnie on defense). ?

Also in agreement would be return ace Eric Metcalf and 1985 Bear Dennis Gentry, both of whom switched to WR and were allowed to keep their old numbers.

They look plain and incomplete. Like the letters are just blank. The letters should have been teal, not just because the jersey needed more teal, but because it would just look better.

I actually loved the silver letters. I did think the whole ensemble needed more teal but the silver script looked great.

2 minutes ago, Lights Out said:

No, because that home vest uniform is still the best look they've ever worn. (It would have looked even nicer with gold drop shadows instead of black, though.)

 

The worst uses of black are still the 2000s A's and the 2003-2011 Marlins (I know black was one of their colors, but they still sucked at using it).

 

 

 

 

 

 

A dishonorable mention goes to the early-2000s Rangers, who often wore an alternate version of their regular cap with a black brim for no reason other than to sell merchandise. They didn't even bother to make the squatchee match the brim.

 

Agreed that the A's used black terribly. Didn't know about the Rangers' black bills which also look awful. I still think the Royals were the worst though. And while the Marlins used too much black at the expense of teal, they didn't look awful like the others.

This is the worst non one day uniform in the Royals history.

Are you high?

More than anything, this makes me mad that the Panthers haven't changed their jerseys yet. Those things are really dated.

Last time I checked, "awesome" wasn't spelled "d-a-t-e-d".

Not sure if this was posted before. Dolphins-Eagles from 1996.

That's downright jarring.

These two looks coincided for one season (1988-89); the last year of the Canucks golden "shoulder-V" jerseys (before the went to white jerseys) and the first year of the Wayne Gretzky-era first-generation silver/black look for the Kings.

 

I felt like that the colorful look these two teams had were robbed when the Kings changed their colors that season (both teams had yellow jerseys as their home ones). But then again, the silver/black look is the one most people like.

The first silver/black look was so '90s (even though it started in the late '80s) but still so good. MUCH better than what they wear now. I kind of feel like I would've liked to see a purple/black set with purple as the primary, but they never did that. I feel like hockey is probably the best sport for that color scheme.

Best picture I could find of Mariners-Brewers from 1993. First year of navy and teal Mariners and final year of blue and yellow Brewers .

Can't really get a good view but that's still a bit jarring to think that they coincided.

I think LA's royal blue and yellow jerseys are horrendous, they hurt my eyeballs. Something just screams "childish" about them, I just think Fisher-Price and Duplos whenever I see those jerseys posted.

 

Don't get it twisted, I wasn't a fan of the navy and gold STL Rams either. My favorite are the white/navy throwbacks... This is what LA should do, clean and crisp, plus they're throwbacks to BEFORE the royal/yellow. 

Not really. The royal/yellow came first, in the '40s and '50s. It wasn't the design we grew up with but it was the same colors.

Those are pretty legit. I love the big shoulder logo on the top one.

Riverfront was a blank, boring field.  Not even a midfield logo.

Wow, that amazes me. I went there in '96 but don't remember anything about the field itself. I figured every field had something going on design-wise by this point in time.

Here's Stegall going up for a pass as a Bengal.  He must not have caught it.  According to pro-football-reference.com his only NFL TD was against the Oilers in 1992.

 

Perhaps he didn't catch it (he appears to be surrounded by Vikings) but this looks like a preseason game to me. I don't think either team had blank end zones as late as the '90s.

My favorite Angels uniform

 

Would seriously love a TBTC to this era, but doubt it happens since they didn't acknowledge it during their 50th anniversary season

Incidentally, does any team currently wear pinstripes on their primary road uniform? I can't think of one...used to be Reds, Angels, Rockies, Twins, Diamondbacks, and Pirates all wore road pinstripes, back in the '90s (maybe not all at once, because I think Pittsburgh's was pretty short-lived).

Also, does this count as an unpopular opinion? : The Pirates' road stripes with the grey hat were really cool, even though they never had home pinstripes in that time.

Looks under the facemask to me, like it's the beginning stages of a horse collar tackle.  

 

Regardless, it's a great pic.

Yup. An iconic picture from what turned out to actually be a pretty boring game.
