Players in the "wrong" uniforms

I'm sure this has been mentioned but it's especially weird remembering Nolan Ryan began his career as a Met considering he was a part of the '69 team. also, look at this picture of him, he is a child.

This is why it's so great to see Ryan's latter-day appearances in a Met uniform.  Here he is with other members of the 1969 Mets (coach Yogi Berra, Jerry Grote, Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Duffy Dyer) in 2009.

And here he is in a lovely posed shot with Seaver, from probably around the same time.

Anyway, back to the topic.  There is a subset of players who appear in a uniform that is wrong for them when they later work as coaches or managers.  The jarring effect is especially acute for a player who played for only one team during his playing career.

He's going to look different in Denver than he did in Seattle.

 

Really going out on a limb there.

We’re a day into Wilson’s tenure as Denver’s QB1

 

Let’s give it a few seasons before cementing “wrong uniform”

Russ is 33 years old and played in two Super Bowls with Seattle. The Seahawks are his right uniform.

I only remember the one win against Denver. When was the second Lombardi?

My bad haha, was distracted and forgot he only played in two, didn't win two. My point still stands.

He’s 1-1 in SBs for Seattle. Had he won both, then yeah sure Seattle is his right uniform.
 

Sure, he took Seattle to the playoffs nearly every year, but he still has some time left to do something with Denver.

 

If he’s still at Mile High in 5 years, but hasn’t done anything outside of multiple 9-8 seasons, then the conversation of “wrong” uniform is justified.

 

Right now, a day into his Broncos tenure is too early to say “wrong” uniform.

Okay, on that topic, is Peyton's right uniform Indianapolis, or Denver?

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Both are his true jersey. Super Bowls and MVPs not taken into account, he had 18 retired by both teams. If your number is retired by that ream that's the right uniform.

If they ran the ball at the 2-yard line, this would be true.

 

Folks like to forget Russ threw that awful INT, which he somehow gets a pass on.
