Favorite Defunct Uniforms

[Gothamite]

Anybody know why the Astros got rid of the gold and navy? These were great!

They were going to change their name as well, to the "South Texas Railmen." Then maybe their Ole Weste uniforms and ballpark adornment might have made some sense....

This is, was, and always will be, the St. Louis Steamers:

At least the Blast COULD beat the Steamers when it counted (like the blowout in Game 5 (i.e., the last game) of the 1984 Championship Series -- which I attended hours before leaving for the beach for my high school Senior Week).

Now guess how old I am, Cz.

[Davey]

These where great in my opinion.

Hey Mockba, 1986 was the season I fell in love with the game. I was 8 years old so those uniforms have a real deep sentimental.

If only soccer kits fit me. No way you'll fit a European XXL on a dude who wears American 3XL shirts. Unless you can find a kit with a 75cm chest. (and that's half way round remember). If I could find a Norwich away kit that large I'd buy one in a heartbeat no matter the price. So if you find one out there, let me know. Perhaps one of the chaps on carrowroad have paypal and would be willing to pick one up for me.

since most of my teams still have their jeresys that they have used for some time. the only one i would like to see again.

MLB late 80's/ early 90's Indians jeresys(the ones for Major League)

and the hats to go with them. i wish they would start using the BIG chief Wahoo and Navy blue hats instead of those stupid SMURF blue and little Wahoo ones they are wearing now

[Discrim]

and all this time I thought I was alone in that great big world...finally another who despises the current monstrosities 

I know man, I even emailed the sonics beeging them to bring back their style from the late 90's. But their not going to change because a few people hate it.

Plus I can't stand looking at their basketball court, in my opinion it is the ugliest court in the NBA.

tell me about it...I hate just about everything in the Sonics' current scheme, except the gold jersey (it's a "so crappy it's good" thing, I guess). The logo fails to convey a sense of speed (are they the Sonics or the Slowpokes?) or tie into the city in any way (enter the Space Needle from the old logo...hell even the boring ass half-ball before that had the Seattle skyline going for it), and on top of it is just boring to look at...then the uniforms wind up looking ugly and uninspired in trying and failing to look like the 79-94 uniform.

guess me and you are in a minority, though, cus I'd love to have the late 90s threads back but most Sonics fans seem to prefer the currents.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I dare you to find a cooler shield than this one from the 1970s, courtesy of Leeds United.

[tommytimp]

That takes me back in so many ways. Loved it.

[John in KY]

NFL: The old red early 90s falcons

I also miss those Falcons uniforms - but they were worn from 1978 through 1989. I liked them with both the white and black facemask, but I did prefer the original style where the "Falcon Crest" was above the stripes (1978-1986) over the latter version where it was inside the stripes (like the current 49ers jersey).

If only soccer kits fit me. No way you'll fit a European XXL on a dude who wears American 3XL shirts.

Keep in mind that the UK doesn't really follow the Euro sizing standard. UK XXLs generally fit me fine, as they tend to be in the 50" (full-round) range.

http://www.whauniforms.com/Cougars1.html That is the best I could do to get a picture of the Chicago Cougar uniform.

[EvelethMN]

NFL: 70's-early 80's Eagles kelly greens with multiple white/silver/green arm stripes, Lions unis before black

MLB: Astros rainbows, Astros navy/gold

NHL: Nordiques blue, North Stars without black, original Sharks teal, 90's Senators black

1971 Miami Dolphins

Simple and classy....classic Dolphin helmet logo (abandoned after their last Super Bowl win) and no sleeve striping to worry about.

[worst. jersey. ever.]
