    I think the Browns also have a clean, classic look.
    Of course they have to ruin something that works, so they're getting new pajamas in two years.
    They will fuck this up- count on it.

    Best
    MLB - Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers (all classics), and the Reds (just clean, sharp unis; especially love the red alternate jerseys)
    NFL - Cowboys, Raiders (classic looks), Chargers, Bengals (orange jersey/white pants combo), Texans (blue jersey/white pants combo)
    NBA - Lakers (home yellows)

    It's amazing to me how some colors work great for some sports and awfully for others. Gold and yellow look great for basketball and baseball. In football, they look terrible.
    In football and baseball, damn near any color jersey can look good with white pants. In football, you can also make a white jersey and colored pants work. If you go away from matching shorts and jerseys in basketball, it looks stupid.
    Wonder why that is?

    St. Louis Cardinals are the best. And I'm not a Cardinals fan. At all.

    I've seen West Virginia and Oklahoma State football wear some ugly gray uniforms.

    Horrendous. You can't do much with brown, the yellow doesn't help (overripe banana?) Oh, let's throw in some orange for the Taco Bell effect. And the hats...never been a fan of the front panel and overlapping initials isn't overly inspired.

    I think more or less any soccer kit from the 1990's could be here (The US kept bringing hideous crap to the World Cup back then) but the worst is Arsenal's from the early 90's

    found this at the Daily Mail's story marking the 20-year anniversary of the Premier League and most of the uniforms that season were terrible.

    the 90's were a dark time for fashion. remember the Phoenix Suns?

    UCLA's powder blues deserve some love.

    Agreed. Also the Canadiens' home red and blue sweaters.

    You can't beat the Original Six: Leafs, Canadiens, Wings, Rangers, Bruins and Hawks.

    Am I alone in preferring the Chargers' old-time powder blue -- with the number on the helmet -- over their actual current uniform?

    No, Bob, everyone on earth agrees with you except the Chargers' owner.
