Pretty great baseball game last night!
I am getting ready for some Halloween festivities with the family today. I expect to see many ghastly, ghoulish and disturbing sites but nothing as horrific as the Arizona Diamondbacks uniforms.
So, since we did best uniforms last week, it is time to lay into the worst of the worst for their fashion faux pas. Give me your list of 5 worst uniforms in sports.
Sats for all.
Cheers, GR

Pretty much any of the alternative NBA jerseys. I don't know what any of them are called, so just pick 5 and it's a safe bet that they'll be atrocious.

I also think it is horrible they are putting ads on jerseys now. Ads on the playing surface, ads all over the stadium and now ads on the jerseys. Now I have also noticed here in Canada when you watch basketball, hockey or baseball they superimpose relevant Canadian sponsors over the ads in US ads. So if the 76ers have a dunkin donuts ad on the court tonight, the Sportsnet broadcast will put one of their advertisers over top of it on the main camera feed but then when they switch angles or show replays you see the actual ad. It is very distracting.

I haven't been sure how many ads are physically in the arena vs superimposed on a surface for tv.
I think they're playing with fire, in terms of how much longer people will keep paying to watch. Most other tv is declining and NBA might be next.

I don't find it that irritating in baseball as it is primarily done on the static camera angle from CF behind the pitcher. It is somewhat annoying in basketball but is usually just a couple logos on the court. The absolute worst is hockey, they try to superimpose all new ads around the entire boards but because of the speed of the game and the movement of the camera they are often blurry or not centered perfectly or not blended correctly and you are getting some digital ads and some of the physical ones on the actual boards. It really makes it almost unwatchable.

In general, they're called "city edition" jerseys, but I think each one has a name too.

I do not. I understand your interest. That was the ugliest jersey ever. This is a true story: At the time those jerseys were being created, my brother in law knew the four guys who owned a piece of the team. They were investment bankers. I was doing some very minor legal work on one of their other businesses. They showed me the prototype of the jersey in their offices and said something to the effect of "isn't it great"? I thought they were joking. They weren't.

  1. The greasy grimey green bay Packers.
  2. Miami Dolphins (main)
  3. Miami dolphins (alternate orange)
  4. LA Rams
  5. da bears.
That's just NFL. But they are the worst.

The green jerseys are fine but the white with green and gold, yuk. It's too bright for my liking. And the gold has become like a dayglow yellow. The helmets in that yellow just look awful.

Personally, I could take them or leave them but I know a lot of people think they are some of the best.
