Teams whose alternate/retro jerseys are better

[Sponsored by Groose Wipes]

Patriots throwbacks to me will always be the best uniforms in the NFL.



Also the Denver Broncos Color Rush uniforms is everything I like about the current uniform and their old Orange Crush uniforms.



The 90s Astro uniforms I also really like.

I know a lot of folks don't like this one, but I absolutely loved the Padres' brown and yellow uniforms.


I'm also a sucker for any time a team puts a logo on a jersey instead of just the city/team name. I've always wanted Boston to bring back the old Red Sox batter logo from the 50's for just a season.

On NFL teams, have to say I feel like overall the old AFL teams had better logos/jerseys in the old days than they do now. They do those occasional AFL throwback weekends and it just sticks out how much better most of them used to look.

I don't know if I'd like them to wear them full time again, but I mark for the Bucs' creamcicle throwbacks. I also like the Colts' dark blue throwback helmets, though the rest of the uniform are meh. The Packers' throwbacks took a bit to get used to, but I now really like them. Not all throwbacks get my approval, however. I thoroughly dislike the Steelers' bumblebee throwbacks.

The Angels City Connect jerseys should just be the standard unis for them.

Any Anaheim Ducks jersey that has the old Mighty Ducks logo is way better than the current home/away uniforms they wear.

I love the Browns alternate brown top/orange pants look. Classic.

The Patriots Red Throwbacks are gorgeous, certainly more so than stale dark blues

The Washington Commanders’ former name (no not WFT, the other one) wearing burgundy jerseys and gold pants is my favorite uni combo in football ever.

The early to mid '90s California Angels unis are one of my favorite uniforms ever. If/when the team is sold, hopefully the new ownership makes this the team's official uniform.

I'm so happy I was able to get one of these Broncos Color Rush uniforms when they were available a few years back. I wish the Broncos would make this their standard jersey.

My LA Kings have had so many awesome jerseys. Pick one.

And you can make a case for just about all of them to be the best

I wish the Kings would use a black and white version of the 2000s crown as their primary logo. Kind of like the crown they used for their 2014 Stadium Series jersey.

Iowa's home uniform in 2017 when they played Ohio State.

Yes the Redskins uniform, burgundy top gold pants. Glad they kept that as a combo going forward.

Leeds United's 20/21 3rd Jersey was actual class

For as much as the Guardians' navy alternate can be considered an alternate since it's pretty much been part of the rotation since at least the Jacobs Field transition, it's always IMO been the best-looking slash most distinctive of their looks. Helps that the navy tops aren't as much of a problem in autumn than they are in say, July. Will say the current look though has kind of simplified it a little too much for me, even the white trim on the collar and sleeves stood out better. Also wouldn't be opposed to them bringing back this away look but in the new Guardians script:




Continuing the trend of finding 1990s looks very under-appreciated, I still kinda prefer this look for the Penguins:


Honestly, in general, all the attempts to serious-up team identities that committed the crime of being too colorful or too '90s have all wound up IMO somewhere on the scale of boring and bland to Ow the Edge, though more the former than the latter. I'm just happy that colorful looks as a whole have been back on the upswing. For so much of the 2000s it felt like everyone was rebranding to be as drab as possible, preferably involving a red, gold, or black color scheme.
