"Imagine if the all-mustard Padres took on the all-ketchup Indians back in the '70s"
I would have relished that matchup.
@big8dog887 Sponsored by Oscar Meyer.
Ugh.
That’s too good lol
I see what you did there
Well played
Bring back players wearing their own uniforms for the all-star game.
I stopped watching all sports several years ago. They all keep ruining the little things that made them great. The players wearing their own uniforms was one of those. I literally had no idea they had done this b.s. until you mentioned this.
Those Astros unis of the ‘70s were _glorious_.
Agreed. I think those are among the top 5 of all uni designs ever.
The funny thing about the Astros' "Tequila Sunrise" uniforms is that the fans and most of the players back then didn't like them. But now if you go to an Astros game, you're liable to see dozens of fans wearing them. Not to mention the fact the look has found it's way onto the side panels of their Sunday uniforms which were worn on the night the team won the 2022 World Series.
I'm a baseball fan in Canada and, whenever I watch games online from Minute Maid Park, it's inevitable you're going to see a few of the Tequila Sunrise jerseys in various shots of the crowd.
I agree with your number one. Part of the fun of the All Star game is seeing players in their team uniforms
Baseball is unique in that you know who's hitting and fielding at any time. This isn't hockey, basketball, yank "football" or actual football (not "soccer") where you need matching unis.
I always like to see and hear the reactions of the home fans as players from divisional opponents are introduced.
They need that back!! Listen to the fans MLB!!! We want player team uniforms back!! Like the good Ole days
When I was a kid, our Jr. Babe Ruth League team (13-15?) had orange and blue uniforms like the Houston Astros and matching flat hats like the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Our assistant coach, in his perfect Southern Missouri drawl, proclaimed, "Boys, them uniforms is sexier than a two-peckered dog!" 🤣
How can you possibly put the 70s / 80s Astros uniforms on this list??? Those uniforms are amazing!!!
No they're not 😂
Absolutely
Absolutely amazing!!!
Horrible 😂😂😂
I like them, too!
I'm a huge Padres fan, but I think their city connect pastel colors are just horrendous! Gives me Miami vibes not San Diego.
Please, get rid of those.
Totally agree. I’m a Dodgers fan and I love the Padres pinstripes and even the old 70’s browns.
Agreed!! 🤎💛
I agree. Those city connects are horrible. The Padres brown and gold are great colors. Unique.
CityConnects in general are horrible; maybe ten out of thirty that look decent.
@jorge. I haven't seen all of the league's city connection uniforms, but of all the one's I have seen, I don't like any of them. Maybe one day I'll see one I actually like. 😊
Throughout the late 70's & early 80's teams across the nation were re-creating the tequila sunrise jerseys in their own colors. Ugly or not, they were a massive trend and set forth a revolution of design-maxed uniforms. They changed the game!
The Late 70s Pirates' Bumblebee Uniforms were Yellow Tops and Yellow Pants and looked great.
I love the Astros uniforms. So iconic.
Say what you want but those rainbow jerseys are and always will be iconic and hold a special place in the franchise. I’m pretty sure a majority of Astros fans would agree
so will being known as CHEATERS
@@csnide6702 umm what does that have to do with jerseys? Oh are you one of those people who like to get a rise out of people because they have nothing better to do?
@@rp3569 I didn't bring up the Astros.... and they were STILL CHEATERS .... or didn't that happen...?
@@csnide6702 like I said, this comment is irrelevant and what else could you be talking about other than my Astros, a real baseball fan would learn to let go but i guess some people are pathetic enough to hold on to grudges
This baseball fan in Canada totally agrees. Those stripe-dominated jerseys may have stuck out like a sore thumb, but when the team condensed them to the shoulders and pant-stripes, it made for a more reserved look.
The '76 to '81 White Sox uniforms (with the regular pants, not the shorts) were awesome. So were the Astros' uniforms.
AGREED!
There were literally collars on those jerseys
@@daved1535 As there were with many early baseball uniforms. Nothing like hanging out at Old Comiskey Park in the late '70s with Harry Caray, Jimmy Piersall, and Bill Veeck, the Workd's Largest Outdoor Saloon. :-)
You can NOT be calling those classic Astros uniforms ugly!
When I was a kid, this was my absolute favourite uniform.
I think you can make a whole video on the awfulness of the city connects unis. They are a category unto themselves
I agree.
Gary Templeton...an all-star SS...was traded from St. Louis to San Diego for Ozzie Smith. In the season opener for the Padres, Templeton took an 0h-fer and made an error. When asked by local media about his disappointing debut...Tempy responded "It's tough to play your best when you look like a taco."
I have a MAJOR soft spot for the '80s Astros uniforms, simply because kid me loved looking at anything resembling rainbows or old VHS production-company logos. Same with the Mariners' TATC unis, just because Junior specifically rocked them so well in my opinion. The others on this list? Yeah, hot garbage and mid all around. :P
I'm surprised that the 2016 Diamondbacks' gradient uniforms didn't make the list...
I was waiting for the snakeskin also
I remember those were wildly unpopular... I liked them though!
Those charcoal grey ones they wore for only one season I believe, were pretty bad I think.
I always loved the Astros 1970's look. The Indians had red, white and blue pants and jerseys and interchanged the colors, not just red on red. My favorite story was when John Lowenstein played for the Indians, he would go to the managers office where that days color combination was posted on the door, then promptly dress in the wrong combination. The other players would come in and see Lowenstein sitting at his locker and assume without checking that the combination Lowenstein was wearing was the right one for that day. Lowenstein would then change into the proper combination and go out for batting practice. When the other players went out for batting practice, they'd be dressed in a combination other than what Lowenstein and the coaching staff were wearing. Manager Frank Robinson would make them go in and change. The first couple of times Robinson blew his stack before everyone finally figured out what was going on.
If you say the Padres all mustard uniforms were bad, you have to include the Pirates all yellow uniforms in the 70's as bad too . I actually am a fan of the Padres all mustard uniforms and I'm a Giants fan.
ChiSox would be my #1, followed by the Philly all red. Excellence per usual Erik.
All-star games need to go back to players wearing their own uniforms
The 1976-1981 White Sox uniforms on this list, and NOT their 1982-1986 sleazy softball abominations? Strange standards.
Whoa whoa whoa…back up now. That logo was delicious retro compared to the previous year.
@@rjakobiFor what it's worth, my favorite White Sox Cap is the one they wore in the 1959 World Series.
I hated the Sox jerseys from the mid 80's!
For the 1982-86 White Sox uniforms, it's been said the front looked like license plates.
I loved the Astros' "sunset" jerseys (that's how we referred to them as). They were bold and made a statement. I still live them to this day... even though I despise the team.
And, I'm sorry, but I live all things Padres. They're my boys ever since 1970. I like the mustard unis over the late-80s brown and orange unis. Those were bland and quite atrocious.
As first the White Sox "collars and shorts' I liked them. But no way in hell was anyone sliding into a base wearing those! lol
Lastly, I concur w/ the abominable All Star unis. Whoever greenlit those should've been keelhauled.
They LookLikeShit.
😠👎
Those Astros uni's are awesome. One of the best ever.
Those National city connect jerseys def should've been on the list.
Somewhat related, someone tell Nike that full colored city connect jumpsuits ain't it
I never realized the 1976 White Sox only wore the shorts three times, I thought they wore them for most of the summer.
The 2021 ASG uniforms were a letdown not only because they were terrible, but because they dropped the tradition of each player wearing their own team's uniform AND, the futures game uniforms were FIRE, so I don't know why they didn't just use those.
Exception to the unfavored Jersey top and Uniform Pants in matching color= the 1977-1980 ALL BLACK Pittsburgh Pirates uniforms. Fantastic and 'bad ass'!
Those Astros uniforms were pretty cool
I loved the all black Pirate's uniforms. With mixing it up all the time, the players didn't know what they were wearing until they got to the ballpark.
I liked the Padres mustard uniforms, Indians all red, and the Astros tequila sunrise. I hated the Black and white, the city uniforms, and the 1944 satin uniforms. My favorite was the 1971 Oakland A's vest style.
Haha. I happen to love those rainbow Astros jerseys, but I'm totally sold on your point that shirts and pants should not match in color. 😄
@timchang. I've always disliked the A's white cleats. In fact, I've never cared for their unis either, since I don't like the colors green and yellow together.
Thanks so much for making this video! I was unaware of those satin jerseys from long ago!
Growing up during the time of those Astros jerseys, they're iconic and will always represent the Astros in my mind. That causes me to overlook how bad they are. They grew on me.
@Dulcimerist. Just my opinion, but I think the current Astros unis are the best ones they've ever worn. My second favorite would have to be, the one they wore when they were the Colt 45's. The smoke coming out of the gun to form the letter C, was very clever.
Im happy to see the "Turn the Clocks Forward" unis on this list. I remember seeing them for the first time and it's like seeing futuristic concept cars from the 80s.. they were just bad ideas altogether.
Every 80s kid basically slept in the Tequila Sunsrise bedsheets. I love the look. 😊
Leave the all-star game uniforms for the home run derby, and have the players wear their regular uniforms for the game.
The thing that irked me the most about the Mercury Mets unis are that they didn't the team's orange and blue colors.
Loved the astros uniform growing as a kid and and the number the leg was cool. My favorite player was Terry Puhl I like the all red indians uniform better than the red with white pants. The phillies uniform look like a valore leisure suit.
Sorry but that Astros look was awesome. Almost all little league teams in Texas had their all star unis like that for a time...a couple of years go that scheme came back and a bunch of HS teams had the look with their team colors and it still looks awesome.
If they were never made and then introduced today, I'm not so sure you would love them so much.. they became nostalgic after so many years.
@@HummBabyBaseball maybe on the Astros because of the color, but the actual design I think just look real.good
Being a kid of the 1970's, I liked all of MLB uniforms during that decade, Will agree with the All-Star uniforms, the absolute worse.
I loved the White Sox uniforms from the late 70's early 80's! I wish they'ed bring them back!!
I liked the Astros jersey but you missed the 2023 softball uniforms worn by almost every team last season
I know watch the All Star Game because they went the route of the other sports and started wearing All Star Uniforms. I loved watching players representing their team. You knew who was at bat and on the field. If they go back to team specific uniforms then ill watch again
"Tequila Sunrise"? I lived in Houston in the 80's and everyone I knew referred to them as the "Taco Bell" uniforms.
I lived in Houston during 80s as well. Most of us refered to them as Tequilla Sunrise. We used Taco Bell to describe the Padres. Differences between areas I suppose.
@@big_lolo_01 My memory and what people said to me when I wore the official Astros Jerseys when it was real hard to get agrees with your perspective and memory. "Tequila Sunrise".
Same. We referred to those 70's Padres uniforms as the Taco Bell uniforms.
I always thought they looked like a bad flavor of ice cream.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no
Baseball was at it's best in the 80s..and the colorful uniforms were great!..especially any team that had the sky blue colors..They need that more often today..
During Nike's short time as the exclusive maker of MLB uniforms (won't mention the NFL here), they've gone well out of their way to make garbage out of a good thing. This latest travesty was apparently done without any input from MLB players. Nike's greed to make money from new, yet tacky merchandise has now lowered itself to cutting costs by universally shrinking the player/coach nameplates. That alone screams CHEAP!
I like the Astros' sunrise uniforms or whatever they were called. But those White Sox shorts could have made sliding into a base painful.
I'm surprised no one decided on tank tops, along with shorts, (like the NBA players do).
As a general rule, I hate any uniform where the team is going outside their traditional color scheme. Can't argue with that #1 at all, though. Putting the team initials on the front was bad enough, but clumsily slopping the team logo on top of that... who on Earth thought that was acceptable?
@jroggs. I agree. I didn't like the Cardinals old light blue unis at all. But their originals are great.
The 70s Tribe uniforms were phenomenal.....All Red looked fantastic.....
The 70's Padres uniforms were great....Mustard Yellow looks great....Brown and Mustard looked even better.
Orioles all Orange, A's all Yellow or Yellow / Green.....all of those look great
I dont know why you hate the solid colors top and bottom...I love them.
Thumbs down, but I do partly agree with you on some of your picks. Even the Houston Astros "Tequila Sunrise" uniforms. They should reimagine the look because as you discussed. Those were quite popular uniforms. Yes, a little too 'busy' with the rings. Simply put, less is more with the tequila sunrise. The Houston Astros uniforms I actually didn't like are the pin-striped and red shirt alternates. I also don't like the current t ones. I do like the "Space City" City Connect uniforms. I also liked their old-school road uniforms, but they should have been traditional road greys. Here's an interesting take on the Philadelphia Phillies uniforms. I wish they would go back to the 1970 - 1991 uniforms. Except the grotesque all burgundy uniforms. I love that color with the powder blue road uniforms. I wish the Chicago White Sox would go back to the early 1980s uniforms. I really love and miss those uniforms. Their current uniforms are becoming 'boring' and outdated.
During the Turn Forward promotion, someone asked George Steinbrenner why the Yankees weren't wearing their turn forward unis. Steinbrenner said they were.
The only ones I agree with are the horrendous future unis.
I love the mustard Padres and the shimmery Dodgers kits. That said I'm usually made fun for my drip so I've leaned to accept my style is not for everyone.
Great vid amigo. I'll be watching more. 🤘🏼
2021 All Star uni look like if you bought it at Walmart or a Swapmeet
Those Astros uni's looked amazing. I'd love to see them come back.
Hi Erik. Not a big fan of those new Giants connect jerseys. Those orange cream ones. Go Giants!!!...💯⚾
I really liked the White Sox font on those unis that had the shorts. They should've kept it on future jerseys. The all-black and all-white and the All-Star game unis are hideous. The whole idea of that game is for the players to show what team they're representing.
In 1994 those gray Cubs jerseys that looked like it spelled C-u-b-a 😅
And I thought softball uniforms were bad lol Great job as usual Erik
Great list. Leave it to Manfred to be Numero Uno for the ugliest uniforms ever. I could place a lot of the City Connect uniforms in this one. I will say the best City Connect uniforms that I like better than the original is for Miami.
Miami’s city connect is 🔥 also I really like the Angels city connect. Their normal white jerseys are pretty bland.
I highly disagree with the Astros rainbow jersey. I freaking love that jersey.
Oh no I guess I'm in the minority because as a kid I loved the Astros and the Padres uniforms, as well as the yellow and black Pirates uniforms.
You...are WRONG!
Disagree with listing of the all-red Indian uniforms and the Astros sunrise uniforms. Those Astros uniforms were the best ones in franchise history.
the Astros uniforms with the colors on the front were thought to be a disadvantage, the umps used it as a strike zone
Nahh man them uniforms looked cool, I'm 31 and I'm wearing the 1980s houston astros shirt
Call me overly nostalgic, but I love, Love, LOVE those 70s uniforms. Deliciously ugly but man they had character. All the powder blue aways, the Padres, Expos, Astros, A’s, etc, etc, etc. The White Sox? Oof, those were brutal- but I still love ‘em.
Agreed!
The Blue Cardinals road uniforms were great.
Dodgers CC was ugly but I did like last year with the white pant and thank god they got rid of the CC cap. That cap with the team name look like if you bought it at Sams or Big 5 for $10
I'm not from Houston but I loved those Astros uniforms when I was a kid. There was nothing like em and the number on the pants was a great touch.
The all red indians jersey are cool. The font makes it.
The Houston Astros Tequila Sunrise jerseys are my favorite ones. I am biased as I am an Astros fan. But I wear my with pride and get many compliments when I do so. Also the rainbow sleeve look was great as well. Both of these jerseys are great and always will be! And even if those jerseys were worn as a new one today I would still love it and not hate it like you say MLB fans would do including Astros fans! You have no clue what you are talking about! SMDH! I wish the Tequila Sunrise jerseys would be in the rotation of jerseys the Astros wear today. That would be sweet if this were to happen!
That Rays uni early on, looks like they just ripped off the old Padres uniforms and tossed their colors on them.
The Expos uni's were always fire. I so hope they come back into existence, along with the Nashville Stars getting an expansion club. Hoping in my lifetime MLB expands to 36 teams, and in addition to the Stars and Expos we get to see the: Utah Bees, Portland Pines (or Pioneers), Charlotte Knights, and Las Vegas Aviators. This is assuming the A's relocate to Sacramento?
Also, the Rays relocating to Mexico and rebranding as the Mexico Azteca (in Mexico City or Monterrey) would be so lit. Or maybe a less controversial name would be the Mexico City Lobos. It would be such a strategic move to expand to places where you have a broadcast in French (Montreal) and Spanish (Mexico), to truly make it an international game. Really hope it happens in my lifetime.
Final comment: always felt the Giants have super underrated uniforms. Sure, I'm a lifelong Giants fan and undoubtedly biased. But I would put them as #5 on the MLB uniform ranking list, behind the: Yankees, Dodgers, Cardinals, and A's. Especially the Giants grey road uni's. They look like the quintessential "bad guy" uniforms. Completely bad ass and I love it.
Dude - really ? It's a bunch of dudes playing a game - good grief
If they do expand the leagues, I'm all for adding The Trash Pandas
Expos uniforms were so great!
Following baseball for almost 50 years, I hated the 2010s era uniforms of the Padres, Brewers and Blue Jays. They were soooo boring. Thankfully they are gone and these same teams sport the best unis in the 2020s.
Glad this guy is not in charge of uniforms! He hates all of the fun uniforms with fun colors. The old Astros uniforms were awesome, and never got old. And he only likes white pants. ...Those uniforms from the 1970s were fun, and the fans loved them.
The modern, all white and all grey uniforms are so dull and boring.
Im not an Astros Fans but I LOVED their sunshine uniforms!
I thought those 1980's White Sox uniforms were pretty cool. The Astros uniform from that era is alright too.
I was born in 1975, and loved them Astro uniforms. I just do. But we call them rainbow unis. Down here.
The idea that the 1987-era white/grey Astros uniforms were superior to Tequila Sunrise is just biblically wrong.
The Tequila Sunrise was on the shoulders until 1993
@@michaelleroy9281 Completely inferior to the full jersey
The Astros Tiquilla Sunrise uniforms are way better than the current day City Connect uniforms. I hate the City Connect uniforms.
Nike is a huge FAIL for the MLB. Whoever manages the account needs to be fired. The new unis are atrocious along with 90% of their "Sh--ty Connect" unis.
Nah those Astros uniforms were awesome.
Quick fact correction: Turn ahead the clock actually started as a one off between the Mariners and Royals 1998 (those black Mariner ones shown are from that game), spurned by an idea by the Mariners PR department. MLB took it and ran with it in 1999.
70s were all about colors. Topps cards from '75 are the best example. First year I bought bb cards as a kid.
Dead wrong on the Astros' sunburst uniforms.
On the contrary, its exactly these funky uniforms that I always end up loving most...in any sport really. You get so use to seeing the regular ones, they become drab and mundane. I like it when a team lets a uniform designer go a little nuts.
Actually I have to admit that I love the 1976 Chi-Sox jerseys….but definitely not the shorts!😀 Does anyone know where I can order one?❤
Im in the minority, but I loved the Astros uniforms. Always amazes me how the uniforms of the past look better today than a lot of the current, more boring jerseys. These kicked ass, but the orange hats need to be kept, as well.
Nice pic of Mike Schmidt in the Phillies "track suit"uniform
Future California governor @ 0:11 and @6:45 👍🏼👍🏼
Thought the Chicago Sox would come up. Subtly mentioned in the intro - or so I thought. That 'worn for one game' was a reference to that Philly uni.
The 'softball' practice jersey (dark, usually pull on) becoming a game jersey was always a bad idea. White or grey only please.
Royals in 83 had baby blue polyester uniforms.
At the time ,,the rainbow Astros Uniforms were me and most of my baseball pals favorite Uniforms. My first little league team was the Astros but we did not have those. In 1979 we actually the uniforms that were similar to today's Astros Uniforms. I hated them cause I wanted the Rainbow ones. Little did I know 45 years ago that the ones we wore would be worn by the Astros45 years into the future. Now looking back,, I loved those old uniforms we wore.. but still love the Rainbow ones
Not all. I greatly admire the bold look of the Astros Star Burst variegated uniforms. Bring them back!
BOLD and proud as the State of Texas.
I like their original Colt 45s unis, with smoke coming out of the gun to form the letter C. 😊
@@oldiesgeek454 Oh yeah. Those were classic. Hmp! Try getting those unis past the anti-gun activists now.
@@LesterMoore 😀👍
I think the multicolored Astros uniforms were very nice.
I loved that 1980s Astros uniform.
In Australia we are an AFL team that wears Brown and Yellow, we don't call them the "mustards" we call them the "soiled nappies".
Hawthorn Hawks!
@@lesyankee6129 Thats the team. Ugly jerseys but they wear them with pride, as do their supporters.
You obviously weren’t a product of the ‘70s!The uniforms were a product of the design culture and were very exciting.
I had blocked the 2021 debacle from memory. Thanks for dredging that up.
