OT: On team colors.. which combos do you find ugly?

[UPitt '89]

I think in all sports the color combination that is always ugly and unappealing in blue and orange.

Think about it.. these are the ugliest uniforms in each of the major sports:

NFL: Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears

MLB: New York Mets, Houston Astros,

NBA: New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder

NHL: Edmonton Oilers, New York Islanders

College: Auburn, Syracuse, Florida, Illinois, Boise State


In each sport, the ugliest uniforms seem to be the blue-and-orange teams. Don't fight me on this, you're wrong.

 

[PittCity]

Completely disagree with you. Those colors look good together.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

I like Blue/Orange combo for the most part. I think Auburn's unis are among the best and most tasteful in the NCAA.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

I have to admit, Brown and Orange........now that is not a real attractive color combo.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

Green yellow. Oregon comes to mind but they take it to new level with imo combos.

The buccaneers orange in 80s was an ugly that won’t be duplicated.

I'm not even sure that was orange. Almost seemed kind of pink-ish.

 

[UPitt '89]

Besides Cleveland..... does any other major team in any sport use brown and orange as their primary colors?

Lots of black and orange (SF Giants, Bengals, etc).... but not much brown and orange.

 

[Mr. Monaca]

I just hate the white pants/white shirts combination that the Pitt players seem to love.

Va.Tech maroon and orange, I think that is the Hokie colors.

 

[California Panther]

I don't like any monochromatic uniforms. Pitt's all blue comes to mind.

So you hate blue and orange together.., we get it! I like orange! Seattle Seahawks have the ugliest uniforms on the planet.

 

[Ski11585]

The Bears and Thunder have awesome uniforms. This list is bad.

#1 for me in terms of ugly colors? That mustard yellow bright blue crap y’all like for the throwback uniforms Pitt uses.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Besides Cleveland..... does any other major team in any sport use brown and orange as their primary colors?

Lots of black and orange (SF Giants, Bengals, etc).... but not much brown and orange.

The Padres used to, though it's really Brown and Gold and is awesome.

I think most anything with silver in it is not very great, such as the Raiders and Pats. Though I did prefer the Seahawks when they had the silver helmets. Also not a fan of the blue and black the Carolina Panthers use or the Bulls' red and black.

Favorite color combo is probably green and yellow. Old school Sonics, Packers, Athletics...all iconic.

 

[Springfield Panther]

I used to really dislike the New York Mets uniforms when they decided to add black into the mix. Just did not look like the Mets to me with black added in. Now they are back to the traditional royal blue cap with orange "NY" and pin stripe style uniforms.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

Old padres did a brown and yellow. It was brutal. Wyoming pulls it off though.

 

[wicker]

Maroon is atrocious. Most brown looks are bad too

I hate so many units that feel they have to incorporate black when it is not part of their color scheme.

The St. Louis Browns were brown and orange as well.they now are the Baltimore Orioles.

 

[bayardstreet]

I love the Islanders blue jerseys with orange and white trim.

 

[JoseLind13]

I know a lot of people rave about them, but I think the VT maroon and orange color combo is ugly. I actually like orange in most other traditional combos, like pairing it with blue, white, or black.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Old padres did a brown and yellow. It was brutal. Wyoming pulls it off though.

I thought it was pretty good. Ray Kroc was the one who came up with it.

 

[Black Panther]

I thought it was pretty good. Ray Kroc was the one who came up with it.

The padres also had brown and orange as colors in the mid to late 80s

 

[Las Panteras]

The Orioles away grays with black and orange is perfect

You throw a tantrum about orange uniforms and completely forget Clemson.

The purple and orange together is way too much,

But Clemson in the orange and white is top shelf good.

 

[rmf05]

Blue and white sucks (PSU, 70's White Sox, Maple Leafs)

The idiocy of adding random black to unis like the Dolphins, Chargers and 49ers have recently.

The old Canucks unis were bad.

Anything with Vegas gold like our old garbage and the Rams.

Teams that try to go with 3 colors like Jax Jags and the 2000's Islanders.

 

[Demolition Man]

The old Vancouver Canucks uniforms were really bad.

Houston Astros

Some other favorites

Respectfully disagree on the maple leafs

Those sweaters are timeless

 

[McKee Place]

Purple and black of the Ravens, along with their kinda torch cut numbers, always been the worst in my eyes since their inception.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

Clemson's uni's are really good.
I like Syracuse black uniform/helmut combo look. They atleast look mean!
I always like Ohio St, and the Oklahoma St Cowboys.


The worst looks:
PSU not just because I hate them but their uni's su-k
ND - same
Mich St

 

[Black Panther]

Even nd messed with their unis.the helmets didn’t used to be bright shinny gold.and their pants are much darker gold than they used to be.

May be misremembering but thought I read Paul Brown brought those colors from Bowling Green to Cleveland.

After naming the team after himself. Lol

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Absolutely

 

[Dr. von Yinzer]

Yeah, citing the Leafs as a bad jersey is not an assessment with which many would agree.

 

[Dr. von Yinzer]

There have been so many ugly uniforms over the years it’s hard to pick the worst one. Those Vancouver Canucks uniforms from the early 80s were pretty rough.

The Browns uniforms right now are the worst in the NFL. Seriously, they are so incredibly bad. They are just poorly designed. The stripe looks weird and the orange numbers on brown looks like dog poop. They are truly terrible looking. They need to go back to their old uniforms. It’s hard to make brown and orange to look decent, but those old uniforms did it. These uniforms do not.

Before they changed them, Buffalo probably had the worst uniform in the NFL. Their uniform just before this one looked like a CFL team.

I hate when the Pirates wear their ‘79 throwbacks. The way hats are made now, and the way players wear hats now, makes those faux pillbox hats look more ridiculous than they looked at the time. It’s just not a good look. They had those great ‘71 throwbacks and they were beautiful. These are awful looking, IMHO. The Bucs marketing department is basically is inept as Pitt’s marketing department. It sometimes it feels as though they simply refuse to do things well.

In college football, any team that wears the chrome helmet looks bad, IMHO.

In the NBA, the Cavaliers used to have orange and teal uniforms and they were horrific. Also, the 76ers uniforms with Iverson were horrible and so were the Rockets uniforms with Barkley and Olajuwon.

 

[pittdan77]

Minnesota Wild. Red and green????

 

[Pitt79]

Completely disagree with you. Those colors look good together.

Bears uniforms with the orange numbers on dark blue are awesome.

 

[Pitt79]

Pirates 1970s unis with the black and bright yellow are the absolute BEST!

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

how about pink, blue and silver? These were bad.

 

[Pitt79]

The worst Pitt colors are Navy and Old Gold, those colors SUCK!

The absolute BEST Pirates uniform.
