pdxuoduck Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 The "Caple: Ranking the uniforms from worst to best" story is located at http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7629005/ranking-uniforms-worst-best
infrared41 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 There's something really annoying about a sports writer trying, and failing miserably, to be "witty." His...ahem...jokes were not at all funny. His top ten isn't bad.
pmoehrin Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 The only one I really disagree with is the Braves.I've yet to see someone like bad in that uniform outside of the ice cream jerseys.
ksupilot Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Didn't expect much before clicking the link...hate being right. Top 10 isn't bad, but most of the ones he trashed make no sense.
Fox Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Sports writers don't know crap about uniforms, and it makes me sick reading this. I can't even tell you how often I hear them trying to bash the Bucs creamsicles. They always praise BFBS, too.His biggest complaint about the Mariners is that they wear their Northwest Greens too much. One of THE best single uniforms in baseball right now. Diamondbacks at 25? Nationals at 27? A's at 20?I should have known this wasn't going to be a very good list when I saw that #30 wasn't Houston or Miami.
CS85 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Bleh, I probably shouldn't have read that. Makes my brain hurt. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board. You are not entertaining, you are a complete joke." twitter
JayJaxon Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 It would be nice if someone who knows uniforms would have written that article.
ksupilot Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 He trashes the Indians UNIFORM based only on the cap logo. If this were a home cap ranking, then maybe I'd give him a pass. But how can one logo put Cleveland at 29th?
HighCheese Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 well at least his top 3 is correctDodgers, Cards, Yankees in whatever order imoim obviously a dodger fan so i like his #1
phutmasterflex Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I really want to believe this was just a silly list for fun -- but a part of me thinks he was actually serious about the list. Go A's!
OnWis97 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Let's not make a big thing about this...We all could have disagreements with the list. No he does not "know" sports uniforms, but to most readers, it's not important. This is about how seriously most people take uniforms, and frankly, I wish i was more that way.But yeah, not a decent joke in the column.

His top ten isn't bad.This. His critiques, personal memories, and suggestions were all awful. What a waste of time. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
McCall Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Cardinal fan here, but the Yankees pinstripes, I'm sorry, IS probably the best in baseball. I don't even think their bland roads would bring them down from the top. I personally would want to rank the Cardinals at #1, but being completely objective, it'd have to go to the Yanks. Dodgers I do believe should be #3. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall
-Akronite- Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Cardinal fan here, but the Yankees pinstripes, I'm sorry, IS probably the best in baseball. I don't even think their bland roads would bring them down from the top. I personally would want to rank the Cardinals at #1, but being completely objective, it'd have to go to the Yanks. Dodgers I do believe should be #3.In my opinion there is a huge difference between the most iconic look and the best look. Though the Yanks should never change due to history, pin stripes and a plain as road jersey make them one of the more average looking sets in the league IMO. It doesn't look horrid and it's a classic look, so you can't send it away. But pinstripes are ugly.
bosrs1 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 He trashes the Padres and rates them 30th because of their Sunday military uniforms? Does Caple hate America or something?
OnWis97 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 He trashes the Padres and rates them 30th because of their Sunday military uniforms? Does Caple hate America or something? He even addressed that (since some people will pretty much say that), but it's a once a week thing and he even says that their current uniforms are OK. I don't like the camos either (feel they should be memorial day only or something), but I would not drop them from 20 to the bottom for it. But then again, it's just one dude's list...who really cares?

So essentially every Sunday is Veterans/Memorial Day at PETCO Park.
MDC Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Atlanta is top 3 without a doubt. The guy missed the ball on them. Their home and road uniforms are just classic. Put anyone in a Braves uni and they look good. Even Prince Fielder. ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)---
