How are the Yankees not number 1?
The classiest uniform in all of sports, and have never changed.

I find the Bengals uniforms awesome, why are they so low? I still contend that the Saints have the best uniforms in the NFL. This guy is a wanker.

Just because the Yankees' uniforms are so iconic doesn't mean that they're the best by graphic design standards, which is what I think he was going for, based off of the dislike for excessive outlining or detailing. That and I find the Yankee pinstripes really really bland myself.
That being said, I know it's been a point of contention for eons, but he did bring up a valid point with the Indians and Chief Wahoo. I just have no idea what you could replace him with by this point. The retro "C" is too bland compared to every other C in Baseball, the script "I" seems to have been a failed experiment based off of its disappearance from recent merchandise, and though I like the 70's C, nobody else seems to.
What the heck could you do to rebuild the Indians' look?

Really the Oilers are in the bottom 25 because the logo is outdated and hasn't changed? What kind of crappy excuse is that? A logo of a team should never change if it becomes iconic. That is one of the most iconic logos in the NHL. Plus it's an awesome logo you know why? It's simple, easy to draw, and eye catching.

But I'll always love the current blue alternate.

I'm amazed that the Red Sox aren't automatically #1. Why? Paul Luckas is a Die Hard Mets fan and he treats Uniforms and stuff like that very serious. He often keeps politics and outside issues out of his decisions (outside of no longer letting people get uniwatch memberships of Native American sports teams). He is not the traditional ESPN person. I read a little bit about it yesterday and he admits that he has a bias against anything purple, which is why the bottom four include the Sacramento Kings & Minnesota Vikings. I really can't argue against anything in the top ten, aside from the Oakland A's being there. (The Oakland green & yellow, seriously?!) Except for the Phillies (who really have a blah uni which is copied from their '50s look), pick any other team from 11-15 and you can replace the A's with them. And the Blackhawks in the 30s. That's nutso.

I've always thought and still think that the Bears have the ugliest uniforms in sports. Hate them. Also,I don't think the Kings are that bad. Not great,but not the worst.

This is similar to the way city flags have been ranked.
The simple and basic flags ranked at the top, while those with weird logos and mosaics were dead last.
Both the Colts and Pacers are in the middle of that list.

How are the LA Kings so low? Our uniforms are much, much better than 122 or whatever place we came in.

The Mariners' Unis get no respect. They're classy, understated, and fit in beautifully with the city(though I wish they'd add a little more green, it being the emerald city and all).

It's punishment for getting the number one pick three years in row. I forgot to mention this before but the Blackhawks should be much higher. I think their logo is absolutely gorgeous.

It's a modern interpretation of our classic Gretzky-era look.

Black for blacks sake is disliked by the writer just as much as Purple...so the Kings would have been screwed no matter what. Yet the Lakers are high on his list. He does have a pretty crappy taste in hockey jerseys I give him that. But to be fair there isn't a lot of bad jerseys in the NHL. But Edmonton, LA, Colorado, Ottawa, and St. Louis being far in the bottom is absurd. Edit: Plus this is the guy who complained about Edmonton having an outdated logo and yet praises teams who don't have alternates, designed their stuff by hand before computers, and said Calgary should go with the white old jerseys in which in my honest unbiased opinion looks more dated and retro and cheaper. More like an AHL jersey something else he complains about. He evens said Phoenix should go back to the old jersey which looks really 90'ish and dated. I'm just pissed he not once talked about the jersey just the f***ing logo.

Most of those look minor league and subpar. The Rockers and the Bulldogs were the only ones I'd put anywhere close to good.
