Uglier Uniforms

Post by Eli »

They took a bad looking uniform and made it worse. What's up with the collars? They look like they were styled after a 1970s leisure suit.

Glad I am not the only one who was distracted by those. And I was thinking the same thing. They look BAAAAD.

Exactly. I prefer the old unis, but the new ones could be pink and brown with frills and sequins and I wouldn't care if the team was winning.

And if they're not winning?

Uniforms aren't going to affects wins and losses, so why not try and have them look as good as possible? And not make changes that make them less appealing?

Looks about right. Teams with iconic, classic uniforms that have seen little change are at the top. The Bengals are definitely the worst, and the Vikings not far behind them.
