It looked like the right uniform for him. But it can also be said for some Giants who sign with the Cubs also like Dusty Baker. That’s now his uniform for eternity. That was the picture they used on the program at Rod Beck's funeral Thursday, the day they buried him in full Cubs uniform. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-07-01-0707010090-story,amp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thinking a little bit more about this topic, and I think Nolan Ryan with the Rangers is a pretty prime example. He played longer with the Angels and Astros, but his 5,000th strikeout, 300th win, last no hitters, the Robin Ventura fight, and his HOF plaque all make the Rangers a very strong association in my mind, and I’m sure many others. Plus there’s the whole “Texan Legend” thing and from a purely aesthetic standpoint, that Rangers look fit him very well. I mean, the guy looked like a Texas Ranger. As far any possible criteria for the topic, it seems to check off just about all the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues the outlier, but recognize the Oilers as a big part, but not usually my first thought Gretzky's team is obviously the Oilers. My first year watching hockey on UHF was when his Oilers were beating the Flyers in the SCF in 85 and 87. That being said, his "right" uniform is the LA Kings. That was the biggest non-Hershel Walker trade I can remember from that time, and he was on every mag in a LA Kings uniform. That style of Kings jersey was basically for the Gretzky era - whether they were already planning to change or not - doesn't matter. I'd wager that in the US, he's way more famous as a King than an Oiler, if for no other reason than most Americans probably couldn't tell you where or what Edmonton is.

He's obviously an Avalanche (see why non-plural names blow?) but maybe since he was drafted by the Flyers and talked about so much as the one that got away, it just seemed natural when he finally put on that sweater. He clearly wasn't the same player that they drafted and traded, as his skills had declined by then, but it felt 'right'.

I always remember him from the Astros, when he and Mike Scott were the dominating 1-2 in their rotation. But his most famous photos - even if just due to the era and the nature of media at the time - were in that Rangers uniform. In any case, regardless of his right team, that's his right uniform.

GMW79 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 This one isn't totally wrong to me, but I know it is for many. Chelios is an interesting case: 7 seasons with Montreal, and 8+ with Chicago (65 games the year he was trades), and 9+ with Detroit (10 regular season games after the trade). Which of the latter two is the "right" one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 What about Shaq? Titles with the Heat and Lakers. He burst on the scene with the Magic, though. And arguably some good (and some bad) uniforms with the Cavs, Celtics and Suns. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
