Today we’re starting the work week the right way, getting dressed in out snazziest gear and then blowing off what we’re supposed to be doing and drafting best sportsball uniforms. That’s it.
Rules are simple: Is it a team? Do they have a uniform? Do you like that uniform? Then you can draft it. Please specify home, away, or (if you’re going Lesser Footy), third option. Can be pro, semi-pro, amateur. Hell, take a Little League uni if you’re feeling particularly Sanduskyish.
Your commissioner for this draft is the one an only Tim Gunn, fashion guy.
With the first pick I take the obvious one for me, the greatest use of negative space, the Hartford Whalers old school green away jerseys.
Fuckin’ beauty, eh?
The rest of you are on the clock.
“Oh boy, 3 AM!”
And the red Bulls jerseys were taken, but not the black pinstripes! Late yoink!
Fiji 2016 Olympic Rugby Sevens kit was pretty kickass, plus they got Fiji’s first ever gold In these
I think the old Falcons uniforms were pretty cool.
No 1970s NBA short shorts off the board yet? I will take these beauties

Remember when the St. Louis Blues supposedly did this?
Here’s a (very long but also) very entertaining piece debunking the myth that Mike Keenan ordered his team to change jerseys pregame and throw those away, and also pointing out that these jerseys were never worn in an actual game, and may never have actually existed as a team product!
Last pick, Earl Campbell through Warren Moon Houston Oilers powder blues
Not really part of an official “team”, but I just couldn’t resist…

This Argie Selección shirt. Gotta be pre 1976, when they started to use the crest of their terrible FA. That sun is a beaut
The current regime are forever tainted, and their fanbase is annoying even by the standards of Yankee fans, but JR Richard is here modeling some of the best baseball uniforms ever.
Well, if we’re going there.
Excellent choice.
I was going to choose the 70s Bills, but they’re just murder on the eyes (and waiters)
I choose the RISD Balls

The Columbian women’s cycling uniforms were deemed “controversial” by some. Can’t imagine why….
Are we even allowed to post this smut on DFO!?
They were controversial because you can still see their faces.
Can’t see the main sponsor, but it ain’t Nair.
Well, if the football team is off the board…
You clever bastard.
gretzky/NWA era kings were god-tier
Hey, Fleshwound is back!
How the hell are ya?
still waiting for virginia mccaskey to die, hopefully before justin fields does this year
Fair enough, and glad to have yinz back.
There’s a flaw in your plan, though: waiting for what’s undead can never die.
Some guy in my complex has a flat tire and doesn’t have a spare, so he’s having the entire car towed. Am I crazy for thinking he’s a fool for not just taking the tire off and bringing it in by itself?
Bringing it where?
To the tire shop, where they will either repair the tire, or replace it.
That seems a poor decision if it’s just a punctured tire.
I would call AAA, myself. Just got to Big Bear, it’s gorgeous up here! Cat is verra confuse!
If he’s got towing coverage might as well use it
Norweigen Men’s Curling Team Uniforms.
I may be poking the commissioner here, but I was always partial to the navy blue Whalers sweater
You’re good. I just prefer the old school Gang Green.
Now, if someone picks the Vichy Whaler unis we are going to have words.

FOR WHAT!?!?
1987 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand All-Blacks
Sticking with the NBA.
Classic.
loved the black Flames logo ones
Really? I always liked these ones the best:
1. All right, fine, it appears my pleas to the Commissioner have fallen on deaf ears – “SUCK IT, YOU FABRIC-EATING STINKBAG!*” With my REAL first pick, I’ll take the 2021 Essendon Bombers Indigenous Guernseys:
*I am sure Tim Gunn smells very nice.
THIS GUY, RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY, I CALL HIM THE TALIBAN BECAUSE AS SOON AS HE DOESN’T GET HIS WAY, HE TURNS TO THE BOMBERS TO MAKE A POINT!
BANNER THIS MAN.
Make it work!
Here, you can watch them lose while wearing them.

Sorry, RTD, I went to the gym.
I mean, I was very busy with work.
