29texan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This thread is basically about teams you feel had the perfect (or near perfect) uniform when they first came into existence.For me:- Houston Texans (2002) .... and yes, I know the Texans haven't changed their uniforms (unless you want to count the Nike collar), which is a good thing if you ask me. I hope they keep it this way..- Charlotte Hornets (1988-89)- Florida Panthers (1993)- Kansas City Royals (1969) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 -The Hornets set might have qualified if not for the stupid pleated shorts. Pleats and athletics don't mix.-I thought those Marlins sets were just too teal. Maybe today it would be OK, but I remember as a 16 year old being shocked when they first took the field, since that was so uncommon back then. IMO, their first WS set in '97 was their best ever. Perfect mix of black and teal.-Agreed on the Panthers. I don't care for the logo, but it's certainly their best look and one that they could have more or less kept.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Texans are a nice choice...The Wild come to mind for me... they've done nothing but go backwards with their new sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuordr Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 OP the first team I was gonna mention was the Texans, especially with the red socks. Other teams I consider to be perfect out the gates include:1995-1996 AvalancheCarolina Panthers 1995-1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I thought about including Carolina, but that original logo is pretty dated. Upgrade was needed for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I just wanted to point out that just because a team downgraded from an original set does not necessarily mean that the uniform in question got it "right" if that makes sense. I think the Texans, Sharks, and Wild are examples of the team getting it actually right. Looks like the Bobcats, Grizzlies, Diamondbacks, etc... may be better in some opinions, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were good looks (or at least tough to improve upon).

Upgrade was needed for sure.I thought about that as well, but for that logo to last 16 years is kinda amazing and even without the logo upgrade it still would have been feasible.

I thought of the Jags, because I think they were at their best on day 1, but I never liked the helmet, so no, in my opinion, they did not get it right the first time.
