johnnysama Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 ^ To be fair, Elway did win the Broncos the two SB titles in the Nikefied uniforms....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvTheNats Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Does this count? Because it always looked strange to me.A Hall-of-Famer who played his entire career with one team, led them to back-to-back championships, and is the greatest player in team history? Yes, it absolutely counts. The point isn't the team, obviously. The point is that his correct uniform is this one:Still doesn't make it his wrong uniformBut it does.This argument just shows how badly this thread has degenerated from its original point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo, those are the "right" uniforms. Now, follow along with me: another uniform, since it wouldn't be "right", would be "wrong". Sure, it may not have the "Holy crap!" factor of, say, Bobby Orr as a Black Hawk (was that before it after the name change?) because he had some hilight moments in them, but it's not his primary uniform.

That said, my point still stands about how the "right team/wrong uniform" scenario can still exist (which one poster seemed to refute). Quote Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 It's true that the original topic of this thread used "the wrong uniform" to mean "the wrong team". Still, it is perfectly valid to broaden the concept to add "right team but wrong uniform", especially as the original theme had long ago run its course.BgMack already mentioned Robin Yount wearing the wrong Brewers uniform. Others that qualify in this category are: Each of these guys is pictured with a team that feels right for him, but in a uniform from outside the eras with which each is typically associated with that team.

rxmc89 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 John Elway always did look strange in a Broncos uniform. I'll always think of him as a Colt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier set symbolizes his early career, his triumphs and failures and what not. Then, the Nike set symbolizes the pinnacle of his career, essentially. He finally wins two titles and retires on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Jason Giambi, Rubber DuckHe still plays?!? exactly what i thoughtVery highly regarded in the clubhouse for the Indians. And a fan favorite. Tito has kept him around because he's embraced a mentoring role.And actually, he played great as a pinch hitter last year, & even saved the Indians playoff hopes vs. the White Sox last year.He's rehabbing a broken rib right now.
