Wow. All my LEAST favorite unis all in one place. Amazing.

I'm gonna totally agree with pantone here. About 12 of those 16 are just awful, and the only reason they dont change them is because theyre so "traditional"...........traditionally BAD.

As vibrant as the team's storied history, although you do need to know French and hockey tradition to figure out what the logo means.

You need to know french, really? I don't know french and I could tell immediatly that the C stands for Candiens and the H stands for Hockey. It seems you just need to have common sense to figure out what the logo means.

I think the C on the Montreal sweater stands for "Club" de Hockey. But yeah, not as Gallic as all that, is it.

Blackhawks?

Detroit Tigers?

NY Rangers?

Get the Bruins out of there.

Lions? Feh. Now I know who stole my gaffer's tape.

No no no.

The Knicks? Talk about ruining a great scheme. Thats why you put in the Bears. I like the orange, agree they should use the throwback, though.

The Lions I get. I LOVE Honolulu Blue. Best color in sports. But if you used the old Bucs unis in the old one, why not use their Barry Sanders unis? I'd even take the Billy Sims messy screenprinted silver number mess over the current look.

The Bruins current uniforms? An absolute mess.

Where are the old school Calgary Flames? The Lanny McDonald/Gary Suter jerseys were my favorite ever. Great logo, clean use of a solid scheme. And he chooses the Chefs? Yikes.

Tigers and Cardinals missing it must be the biggest boggle, however. Easily the best looking World Series ever this year.

This man, like most of SI's writers, is tired and out-of-step with whats going on anymore.

Folks, this is all OPINION. It is an exercise in futility to argue with what SI's opinion is, since they don't care what the public thinks. My one observation: notice how all the unis they mentioned are ones that have been around for 30+ years (with minor tweaks)?

Pay heed to this, Bengals/Bills/Falcons/Seahawks/Ravens/Broncos/Jaguars/Titans/Vikings....

kinda funny they put the Red wings with all that red in their uni's on the best drest list

but last week the Carolina Hurricanes where put on the worst dress list for the "over useage" of red in their set.

I wanted to post exactly that.

Yeah but if you wanna argue that, you could as well say that wasting as much time as we all do on the boards is as well futility. And we ALL know thats not true. :rolleyes:

I love these lists becasue they cause such a debate on the board, but I wonder if it is possible for all of us to come up with one list. What if we each submit our top 10 unis across all 4 of the major American leagues, total up the votes, and truely see what the top 10 would be.

Anyway, Lions and Knicks, no way. Love the rest, but some modern unis should be on there instead.

As a Motowner, I'd have to say that the Tigers home white with the olde English "D" belonged on that list and not the Lions. I like the Lions uniform, but not over the Tigers. As for the Red Wings, I like the road white (which I still can't accept as being the road uniform after years of the NHL wearing white at home).

How can a "Best" list leave off the Blackhawks (red) off the list? The best uniform in all of sports IMO and I am in no way a Blackhawks fan.

I believe the C stands for Club and the H stands for Les Habitants or something like that. Can't remember exactly.

It's actually two Cs and an H: the blue outline C, the white H and the red C stand for "club de hockey canadien": Canadian Hockey Club.

"Les habitants" is just a nickname.
