Uniforms that your team never should have worn

The top and bottom go okay together (looked great vs. Baylor with purple helmets), but the two frogskins (helmet and numbers) don't match and it bugs me to wear a 2009 special helmet with a 2010 special top and the 2010 normal pants. Too much mixing and matching.

But that is still #2 behind:

no explanation needed

Can'really see the second pic. Which one was it?

I understand they're throwing back, but this is just doesn't look good in modern times.

Again with the throwback, again with the bad design. I guess early 1900s designs don't translate well 100 years later.

Celtics

none

Bruins

Patriots

I HATE the Pats' current set.

Manchester United

united1992_61951s.jpg

I fail to understand how such a great club can wear this abomination. Man Utd's recent kits haven't been all that good, either.

Celtic FC

Despite how classic the home is for Glasgow Celtic, their away strip's haven't been that good.

There was this abomination in 1991

This one in 1994

and this one the very next year:

This season's new one:

Do I even have to explain why those are bad?

New England Revolution

I'm not a big Revs fan, but this Walter Zenga goalkeepers kit from the 1990s deserves a mention.

Are those long-sleeved ones in your first post the actual away shirts, or are they keeper shirts? The long sleeves and outlandish designs make me think they're just keeper shirts, which kind of always look bad.

According to historicalkits.co.uk, an excellent resource for the history of football kits for most clubs in both England and Scotland, those were the official away kits for Glasgow Celtic for the 1994-95 season: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Celtic/Celtic-change-kits.html (you have to scroll down a bit). You'll also see that the other one was used for two years, with different sponsors.

I know baseball players look at each other like brothers, but that's a bit too close of an embrace right there.

Dump the jersey, keep the caps.

lol i feel the opposite, love the jersey but the only cap i want to see on the braves is their home cap.

well i was gonna say the same but seeing as how you're a phillies fan i now am obligated to say otherwise. ^_^ ^_^

lol sorry.

I can understand hating the current Patriots "flying Elvis" logo since the Minuteman logo is timeless, but which uniform would you prefer they wear full-time? As much as I love the Minuteman, the uniforms that go in conjunction with that logo are hideous.

IF ONE IS CONSIDERED RACIST, THEN BOTH MUST BE CONSIDERED RACIST.

BOTTOM LINE: NEITHER ONE IS RACIST.

Redskins 1994 "throwback".

Although I think most of the NFL looked ugly in 1994. Horribly executed idea league-wide.

I also hated the white-on-white. It's just inferior.

czabeskinsuniforms_story1.jpg

ahhh, I was looking for pics from that '95 season. Couldn't find any, well done. Yeesh thats a terrible set.

As for the white on white, I personally liked that set. It reminds me of when we got hot in '05 and won 5 in a row to get to the playoffs. "5 in a row or we don't go!" (seems like thats the case every season)

And I gotta include these for the Skins...

LOVE THESE. A hell of a lot more than anything Flying Elvis. And it's not nostalgia, I was young and barely conscious the last time the Patriots wore theseas the primary.

As much as I love the Minuteman logo of the Pats, the problem I have (as shown above) is they look too British/"red coats" instead of US patriotism. The Minuteman is wearing blue in the logo...not red. That and red, white, and blue stripes all over the damn place isn't very easy on the eyes.

Still better than their current sets...

And I see where you're coming from with the "red coats" thing. I get that.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

It's sort of sad that the Patriots will never go back to Pat Patriot. Now that the Patriots have become a dynasty under Flying Elvis, any chance of improving or changing the current logo and uniforms has been destroyed.

In my haste to find all those horrible Celtic FC kits, I forgot one for the Bruins:

raybourque.jpg

Yes, the infamous pooh-bears. Don't know how it slipped my mind, but it did.

bruins.jpg

Just downright bad design.

Looks almost as bad as their record in the Stanley Cup Finals... almost.

I'll abstain from the Jets considering they haven't had any real bad looks (the Titans look is fine for that era, I guess the monochrome green would be the winner, er loser). Everyone else, though? FIELD DAY!

Islanders

48-t1201181-500.jpg

If those black jerseys that were leaked are worn, though, that might actually top the Fisherman jerseys, and that's saying something

Mets

Alright, alright, I know the black jerseys should be my pick. However, their TATC jerseys were worse. I'm counting this as their worst because just the idea of "Mercury Mets" was stupid. It wouldn't be as bad if it was the oversized logo like a lot of other teams did.

lg_herschiser_all_01.jpg

Giants

Those jerseys from the mid-70s someone posted before were probably their worst. I know the red alts got some hate but generally I like those

Syracuse Football

Meldrum.jpg

Though if they wore an orange jersey with the set they've got now and white pants, it'll look good, even great on them. Just here, it's just navy on orange and monochrome. No white anywhere on the uniform, including the helmet.

Syracuse Basketball

57055439_crop_650x440.jpg?1297205661

Now, I know these jerseys have a place in everyone's hearts as the G-Mac Big East run jerseys. The problem I had with these was the navy got lost in the orange when seeing these on TV. Now granted what they had from 07-10 wasn't that good either, but at least those come off as readable. Here you have a bad font that blends in with their jerseys

Syracuse Lacrosse

Before the NCAA Tournament this year, I would've went with these

large_Syracuse_Hopkins_Lax031409.jpgcody_jamieson.jpg?w=150&h=142

Now again, these have the memories of the national championship and the amazing comeback against Cornell, but it's probably the plainest jerseys you'll ever see. No use of the color navy, just white and orange. The ones they have now are just as dreadfully plain, but at least in that case they don't have "Syracuse" written under the number, which is another reason why these uniforms stunk. And to top it all off?

su-vs-princeton-mens-lacrosse-2fcedcca9477e54e_large.jpg

Tramp stamp.

But then came the NCAA Quarterfinal this year against Maryland

2952-14-460x575.jpg

Ignoring the fact the Orange were upset by Maryland, and also the awesome color chrome facemasks, VOLT!!! ON A SCHOOL THAT'S ONLY USED ORANGE AND NAVY (or if the university brass and Nike with hoops had their way, grey/light black). It's not on the jersey, but it doesn't save this whatsoever
