Rave: Phoenix Suns road unis

[jim]

Powder blue tops Orange as colors never to be worn by a man, especially while participating in an athletic event. Although I admit the Chargers do it as well as it can be done.

My HS was Orange/Black, I liked our Orange jerseys in football but it was very clean. White pant, orange piping, orange jersey, white helmet with orange trim. But mostly I'm just not a fan of orange.

As far as best unis in pro sports, I'm partial to blue so I like the Dodgers. But the Cardinals are right up there. The Cardinals have perhaps maxed out the amount of colors you can combine and yet still be clean and elegant. Plus, red in general is hard to do, but the Cards pull it off by having other colors in the uniform. The Red Sox do a nice job as well, but the Reds for example just have too much of it.

Football I would have to go Cowboys, even though I can't stand the team.

I hope we never see the day when they decide to wear red tops. I think the Braves red tops are ugly as sin.

My HS colors were cardinal red and grey.

As far as best jerseys:

MLB-Yankees
NFL-Detroit Lions (retro ones)
NHL-Maple Leafs
NBA-Celtics

I'm with you rad. Red can be overdone pretty easily, and never should the Cards go to a red jersey. I really like the navy hats on the road unis.

UK - not a bad list although I'm not crazy about pinstripes. I think I would go:

MLB - Dodgers
NBA - Celtics
NFL - Cowboys
NHL - don't follow it much, but now that you mention it the Dodgers of the NHL: Maple Leafs.

Your honor? The defense rests.

Love it.

New Zealand's Rugby jerseys are the best.

I don't think there's a better uniform in basketball, possibly pro sports overall. Simple, graphically interesting, awesome colors. Though I have a feeling it's a love or hate kind of thing. I bet a lot of people (read:philistines) don't like them.

If I didn't dislike the Suns so much, I'd probably like the jersey, as I've been on a bit of an orange kick lately.

This jersey, however, is just their alternate road jersey, as opposed to the regular purple road jersey.

The navy caps have always been my favorite. Probably because they wore them home & away when I first started to pay attention as a youngster in the late '50s/early '60s. Then they went with red at home and navy on the road in 1964 before going to just the red caps from 1965 through 1991. I was very happy when the navy caps (and the button up/belted unis) came back in 1992.
