ESPN has an great batch of ugly uniforms to kick off its
Uni Watch Hall of Shame. I can't believe, though, that the Denver Nuggets'
rainbow squad look from the eighties didn't make the initial list. There has never been a worse uniform in any sport, amateur or professional.

What you doing ragging on my childhood team's uniforms! Loved 'em. (To be sure, I didn't have much fashion sense at 13.) If I could afford an Alex English retro uni, I'd buy one. A road uni, of course...the rainbow looked better next to the blue background than next to the white.
