Today the Lakers announced that they will be wearing a white, short-sleeved jersey for several games this season. They did not provide any previews of the style that was debuted by the Golden State Warriors last season, but I have an inkling that it won't be pretty. So, let's take a trip down memory lane and remember some of the other uniforms that made us gag.
Golden State Warriors
This is what the Lakers jerseys will probably look like next year. The shorts look like that of the old Pacers alternates and the shirt is like beer league's softball team. This is why Charles Jenkins left the Warriors because he didn't deserve to wear such an ugly uniform (Roll Pride).
Chicago White Sox
In 1976, the White Sox thought it would be cool for their players to wear shorts with this sort of old style 1900's designed shirt. Imagine having to slide in those? That'll just rip your legs up. I feel like that was a reason why the White Sox were so bad. I'd rather lose than destroy my legs.
Tennessee Titans
Baby blue with navy blue and my eyes are doing zig zags. I never really agreed with the whole name change to the Titans anyway. With the Texans taking away any sort of return of the Oilers in Houston, the Titans should never have been a thing. What do Titans have to do with Nashville anyway? And what sort of Titan is going to wear baby blue?
New York Rangers
Such classic jerseys and for some reason in the '70s the Rangers decided to do this. Sheesh. Glad this didn't stick around for long.
Philadelphia 76ers
Imagine if Barkley was mucho heavy when they wore this? That'd be hilarious to see. When they were a force in the early '80s, a simple jersey became their image. This whole swooshing Sixers from 1991-94 is rough.
San Diego Padres
Literally every single jersey this team has ever worn, I've hated. They had good looking jerseys in like, the 1950's when they were in the Pacific Coast League, but that was it. All of this is just awful. I don't want to say the Padres aren't good for anything...but they don't do anything for baseball.
Seattle Seahawks
Might just be my least favorite football jersey ever. The all blue, or whatever color that is, strip and that ugly green. I was amped when they came out with those new Nike jerseys. The team did much better there. Heck, go back to the Steve Largent days with the silver helmets and blue jerseys.
Vancouver Canucks
Don't let that awesome mask fool you, this jersey sucked. Just a big ol' arrow pointing to your crotch. No thanks.
Denver Nuggets
I don't think rainbows should really be on any sports team's jerseys. It's just mockery waiting to happen. Now, Alex English and Dikembe Mutombo schooling you in the rainbows made up for it a bit, but that's still not quite my bag.
Houston Astros
For 11 years, from 1975-85, the Astros organization thought it would be a good idea to dress their players in these jerseys. I call them the creamsicle jerseys. Speaking of creamsicle jerseys...
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
They had a winking, swashbuckling pirate on the side of their helmets wearing a little Peter Pan hat. The color just seems like something I'd find in a first grade classroom. Doesn't really invoke intimidation.
Los Angeles Kings
They called these the Burger King jerseys. I could see why. I did like the black, white and silver jerseys they wore during the Gretzky era, but if I was the Kings, I'd go back to their original purple and gold jerseys. True royal colors.
The Caribous of Colorado
This team lasted one season in the NASL. It's like Billy the Kid meets the Birdcage. What a disaster.
New Orleans Hornets
I better get more than beads if I'm wearing this kind of jersey.
I'll just let the rest speak for themselves.
Major League Baseball's Turn Ahead the Clock 1999 jerseys
Pittsburgh Steelers 1933 throwback
St. Louis Blues
Head coach Mike Keenan in 1995 refused to wear these jerseys. Thank. Goodness.
New York Islanders third jersey
Even Matty Moulson is wondering why he's wearing this abomination. I hate it. I hate it so much. You might be wondering why I didn't put the fisherman jersey on. Well, that's my childhood and I can't knock my childhood.
