We agree again. I thought both uniforms were jarring and hope they were some one game gimmick. Their traditional uniforms are classic IMO, satisfying in their simple elegance. Mostly white with understated red. You don't mess with a classic.

OK, here we go. Good uniforms and bad ones? With not giving any research or much thought to it, here are my opinions right off the bat based purely on the uniforms and not the teams --

GOOD:
New York Yankees
Los Angeles Dodgers
Green Bay Packers
Dallas Cowboys
Cleveland Browns
Ohio State
Michigan
USC

BAD:
Seattle Seahawks
Miami Marlins

HALL OF FAME UGLY:
Houston Astros in their orange and yellow days




UPDATE: No wonder my useful brain cells don't get enough oxygen; I have thought of a couple of additions to the list.

Vancouver Canucks
Chicago White Sox in the 1970s

The Sox had a star pitcher named Wilbur Wood who already looked like a guy in an after-work softball league who had been hitting the all-you-can-eat buffet hard for about a year. Then they came up with a uniform to match. Cover your eyes --

I love that picture of Bill Veeck halfway down, dressed in Revolutionary era garb and playing the flute. Note the peg leg. He lost the original as a Marine in WW II. He was the P.T. Barnum of baseball, famous for his outrageous stunts. He seemed to understand that if you are in the entertainment business asking for people's money it isn't important to be right or wrong, only entertaining. When he owned the White Sox he frequently took in games not in an owner's box but out in the bleachers with the riffraff. If it was a nice day he would watch shirtless. Sometimes the prosthetic was on and sometimes it was off. Now there was a character.

PS -- I am not nearly clever enough to come up with a name like Wilbur Wood.


>I saw part of that game at halftime. I thought the Nebraska uniforms were almost the ugliest I've ever seen (Denver's vertical socks takes the win er... loss on that). Wisconsin's weren't far behind.

>>I watched Wisconsin play at Nebraska in ABC's weekly Saturday night game. Despite the outcome, it was an enjoyable game to watch. The Badgers had the game seemingly in hand and then Nebraska came back and pulled it out in the second half. Huge and enthusiastic crowd (over 85,000). I have never had any problem with Nebraska and think they are a terrific addition to the Big Ten. Very few penalties. There is an enthusiasm and youth factor to the college game that the NFL can't match.

>>The guy who loses (NFL) money every time he's on TV is Badger running back Montee Ball. He put up some huge stats last year and was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate this season. It's already clear that is not the case. They are known for their running game year after year (not so much this year). At this point it's an open secret that the strength of their running game is the line, not the backs. There has been a long list of them with gaudy stats, then they do nothing in the NFL. The linemen, that's another story. Charles Hankey certainly knows who one of them is.
