WORST ROAD SWEATER

1. Washington - When they first changed from the red and blues, these weren't that bad. But its time for a change. But, they changed for the worse. Not only do the logos on the road and home jerseys differ, but the colors are too opposite. White is teel and black with copper trim. Colored is Black with copper and trimmed in teel. Ditch the black, they might be bearable. Change the white jerseys to match, or change the colored jerseys back to teel. Better yet, since they are in our nation's capital, go back to red and blue.

2. Pittsburgh - Why change from the greatness of the yellow and black when you have so much history with them. Now they have black with faded gold color. Too bland. the Yellow was much brighter.

3. Phoenix - Yes the black was overused, but considering what they use now, it wasnt that bad. they have changed, and should mimick the Chevy Avalanche, and change again. They are now a brownish red and white. The closest way I can describe it, it reminds me of chili. The other thing it reminds me of I won't say on here. The logo, however, is not that bad.

4. Tampa Bay - Not that they are bad jerseys, but the colors are black with blue. Some teams can make black work, they havent been able too. They are just too plain.

5. Vancouver - Were going to be a top 3 on the worst list, but I have to give credit for originality. Navy Blue, and trimmed with burgandy, gray, and lighter blue. I have to say I miss their old jerseys. Black with red and yellow trim. I think they were one of, if not the first to start to 3rd jersey craze. They only had them for a year in the old jerseys, but it was cool. Ill see if I can find a pic.
