    Yuck. I always thought these were pretty ugly and was thankful that other teams throughout the league had even uglier uniforms (Astros & Padres come immediately to mind).

    I guess even Joe P makes a mistake every once in a while. I’ll call this his Carlos Monasterios moment in honor of some comments in a previous thread.

      Sorry but I thought these were incredible.

        No apology necessary, it’s a matter of personal taste.

        I love all the memories associated with what happened in these unis but I found the stripe unappealing from the first moment I saw it and was not sorry to finally see it go.

          I always like the Road Greys from 86.

          The above Uni’s were pull overs, right? uff da.

      They were good for the time but got as dated as 80′s rock.

    Was always a fan of the ’87 v neck pull overs.

    The stripe certainly wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen, that might be this:

      The Northern Hemisphere Belt line isn’t helping this any either.

        Randy liked to show off his junk.

      This is the one I was talking about above, very classy.
