Worst uniforms ever?

I did finally get to watch a baseball game. It was a Mets game from 1986 against the Astros. Whoa! Are these the worst uniforms you've ever seen? I mean, to paraphrase Fran Liebowitz, what did they turn down before choosing this design?

You can tell Major League Baseball has never met a gay man. Their TV shows look so bad -- like a high school kid put them together (no offense intended to high-schoolers). And the uniforms mostly suck. A few are nice, usually because they're simple, but there are tons of bad uniforms out there. However, nothing like these.

If they grabbed any gay man off the street and asked him for a design for a uniform, it would look better than what's out there today. Methinks they don't talk to gay people much. Anyway, it was fun to watch a game (but they're way more fun when you don't know who's going to win).

Only about two weeks till spring training! Woot!

You're right, the Padres uniforms are awful. I hate the camouflage too. The Royals are also a special case. Such a fun color but it looks terrible on a baseball team. Here's where a handy gay man's opinion (or yours!) could have helped so much. And yes, it's great fun to be talking baseball. I'm counting the days.
