"U" is for *U*gly and *U*niforms ....

It's the off-season, let's play a game.

"What are the worst professional sports (not necessarily  limited to baseball) uniforms of all time?"

A few opening caveats and nominations ...

  First, I can't possibly explain or justify it, but I always liked the old mid-70's to mid-'80s Houston Astros uniforms, which always find a place on lists like this one. So, hoorary, J.R. Richard in orange!
Second, like every sane human, I was horrified by the 1976 Chicago White Sox expieriment with shorts -- esentially, softball uniformage came to Comiskey.  
Third, we can consider "throwback" uniforms, like this homage to "throw-up" uniiforms by the Denver Bronos last season, but it's always better to show the original if you've got photographic evid ... er, proof.  
 

Finally, Toronto, you are not innocent in this go-round! Remember these horrifying Raptor duds?

I won't even embarrass anyone by showing them wearing one!

Who else, when else? What teams have truly spelled Uniform Ghastly? Lucky You! (UGLY)???
