I hate the Pats, but this is probably top 3 throwbacks:

I would like the Pats to go to a modernized version of that original uniform. I'm sick of their current scheme, it's always been so generic. I actually prefer the Bledsoe Era uniforms to the current ones, as goofy as that sounds

The one they wore in 94 wasn't bad.

Better than 93, I guess. I think they should use the new logo with the throwback scheme. At least they'd be able to use the old logo for a game or two per season. :/

Seeing all these throwbacks reminds me that the No Fun League helmet rule thing is stupid. Due to this rule, we won't see the Patriots, Buccaneers, and other teams' throwbacks.

This is a huge complaint of mine in baseball, there are only like 5 teams that don't have either blue or red in their scheme.
I'm all about this complaint.

Go Orioles
Orioles, White Sox, Athletics, Rockies, Pirates, Giants, by my count. Eesh. No surprise that everyone on that list besides the Rockies is among the sharpest looking in baseball.

I think Toronto, Boston and Cincinnati should get a pass on the colour thing since it's part of their name.

That's why I found it sad when the Marlins and Rays went away from their old color schemes. Especially Tampa, that green was unique.

The Marlins new colour scheme is still unique, at least. I liked the teal and black, though.

Is there a worse logo in sports right now than this?

Keep in mind though most baseball teams have been around for more than 100 years, and secondary colors weren't discovered until 1924.

Good point. Weren't all uniforms some variation of black and white until the 50's?

Weren't the A's also red/blue/white until Chuck Finley gave them his trademark palette?

Yep. And the White Sox always had red or blue in their identity until 1991. The Pirates actually used to be red, white, and blue too, I believe.
