Uniforms through the years--the best we'll never see again

There are some uni's that will never come back. Because of relocation, these teams have changed cities and/or nicknames. But they leave behind some of the best uniforms.


6) Winnipeg Jets



Now the Phoenix Coyotes. Which is odd, because coyotes have really a sharp sense of smell. However, even with The Great One at the helm, these coyotes haven't caught a whif of the playoffs in...dare I say...a dog's age.



5) Minnesota North Stars



Now the Dallas Stars. Unlike the 'yotes, the Stars did not suffer a fashion downturn when they changed cities. Also, their on-ice fortunes changed for the better, winning the cup in 1999, thanks to Brett Hull having his foot clearly in the crease. But, no sour grapes. Nope, none at all. Even though he cheated. Anyway...


4) Houston Oilers



Now the Tennessee Titans. Went to the Super Bowl the year after changing name and uni's. Too bad there's no oil in Tennessee. They could have even brought back the silver helmets of the George Blanda Era.


3) Hartford Whalers



Now the Carolina Hurricanes. The old home jerseys before they put the silver in it. The "H" between the "W" and the fluke was ingenious. Another team that won the Cup after changing cities.


2) Washington Bullets



Now the Washington Wizzzzzards. This is a team that is in serious need of...everything. Not only can their uni's put you to sleep, but...watching them.......yawn....oh, sorry.

But the best uniforms we'll never see again belong to the...


1) Montreal Expos




The tri-color hats, the blue road uni's, the funky-looking "M", the shape of the numbers. This was one of the best-dressed teams in MLB during the '70's and early '80's. Now that they are the Washington Nationals--who aren't doing too awfully bad--we will never see these again. Unfortunately.
