I am beginning a new feature today. From time to time, there are uniforms out there which redefine the word ugly. When it comes to uniforms, I'm pretty old school, with a few exceptions here and there. I believe teams ought to have one home uniform, and one away uniform. There are some decent-looking alternate uniforms out there, but most are a useless waste of thread, designed to suck money out of customers.
The Washington Wizards broke out this putrid-looking alternate uniform this season. Gilbert Arenas is shown wearing it here. It is gold, with white numbers, a white shoulder, black stars down the side, and black shorts. It may be the worst basketball uniform I've ever seen. The only two that come close are the silver ones the Mavericks wore for one game last year before Mark Cuban got smart and pulled them, and some old, old unis that Byng High School in Oklahoma made their JV team wear in the early 80's, which were supposed to be gold, but had worn out to the point where they looked puke green.
Stay tuned for more ugly jerseys...
