Recommended Posts

-Eddie Murray with the Angels.

I'm probably wrong, but isn't that his stint with Cleveland?

To be fair, Murray only wore that Cleveland uniform for about a month in in Spring Training '94 before they unveiled their script jerseys in April.

Matt Holliday

Not quite a legend, although he'll always be remembered here for his face plant slide into the world series. And it crushed many people when he left.

Thank you, btw.

Looks like they made Mr. Elway settle for a replica.

The cheapest one of the bunch, for that matter. C'mon, thats terrible, a man of his status should be wearing an authentic. Whether it was given or bought it couldn't have at least been a swingman? lol.

It even said "BILLUPS" on the back. I saw it on the local news...

These don't count....

The idea is that once a player becomes a legend with a team it's weird (and very sad) to see them in the uniform of another team as they try to squeeze a couple more years out of their careers.

With Mays' Millers picture and Robinson's with Montreal those aren't wrong in fact I would say in both cases these guys were in the right uniforms at the right time. Their time with these clubs may have helped them become the legends they are.

I think the spirit of this thread changed about 30 pages ago. It has pretty muched turned into just posting anyone in a different jersey you aren't used to seeing them in. We ran out of legends in weird (very sad) unis long ago I think.

A few soccer ones,

Frank Lampard (jr) in a West Ham strip early on in his career (His dad is a bit of a West ham legend, but odd to see junior in the claret and blue!)

Saintsfan, thanks for a great addition to this thread. I've never seen Lampard in a West Ham Kit.

On a separate note, the Giants uniform worn by Csonka is a thing of beauty.
