Ugly Uniform of the Day


It's been a while since there's been a UUOTD, as last week was no time to be throwing any team under the bus. But, UUOTD returns with a vengeance today.

The Atlanta Hawks aren't playing right now. They don't play past the middle of April, because they only play in the pre-season and in the regular season. They don't play in the playoffs. We'll hear from them next in the draft lottery, when they hope to get lucky with a ping-pong ball and get one of the top two picks in the draft. The Hawks are one of the worst franchises in professional sports. They have not made the playoffs since the Clinton Administration. Don't totally give up, though, Atlanta. The Dallas Mavericks were once the laughing stock of the NBA.

With that said, the Hawks are gone right now, but not forgotten. Their third jersey is a mixture of Del Monte mustard and Heinz ketchup. That combination fits on a hot dog, but not on a uniform. Ugly, ugly, ugly. The only saving grace to this look is that it is not one of their primary uniforms.

Would you like some chips with that hot dog?

I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Mayer wiener.

Wow! That's ugly. Almost as bad as wearing a white baseball cap with your suit.

Here is another candidate ...

One was the Oregon State Softball uni - we were watching the game between them and ASU this weekend (11 innings!)

I can't find a pic of them online right now ... sorry!

Okay, I found it. It's the whole mountain across the chest that bothered me - click here.

That OSU-West softball uniform is not good at all.

If the Sonics wore the Hawks' uniforms, it would be a chili cheese coney. The Sonics need to ditch the lemonade version of their uniforms, and the Hawks need to go back to red and white, permanently.
