Also testing this. These were released today, and they are not terrible!

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 9:32:13 PM
Test post from me to see if you're able to see my messages.

Hi, Chris!

by Brian Stensaas 4/15/2020 9:35:42 PM
I am so ready for this draft. Bring it!

by Not quite Heidi Klum 4/15/2020 9:42:31 PM
Fine idea. This could go on all night. I'm hoping someone registers my contempt for the baby blue Twins unis.

by Jennifer 4/15/2020 9:42:36 PM
If the Bears & Packers are not top 5 ugliest picks, I will be very disappointed!

by Joe 4/15/2020 9:47:26 PM
Is this the fan club for the 1990s purple dino Raptors jerseys?

by Andrew Krammer 4/15/2020 9:47:49 PM

I'm just hoping we all post uniforms you couldn't even drink pretty.

by randy.johnson 4/15/2020 9:51:17 PM
I don't know what the rest of your philosophies are, but I am only choosing among uniforms teams wore regularly. No alternate jerseys or throwbacks for me. (But can I pick the entire line of Color Rush NFL uniforms and be done with it?)

by Naila-Jean Meyers 4/15/2020 9:51:36 PM
Let the debates begin! Sort of like "can a speech be a great sports moment?"

by Brian Stensaas 4/15/2020 9:52:32 PM
I'm going to try and stick with uniforms that are/were worn regularly, not one-off alternates, but to each their own!

by Chris_Hine 4/15/2020 9:56:05 PM
I am OK with alternates that were part of a season rotation but no one-offs.

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 9:56:59 PM
I’m assuming White Sox in shorts will be presented as an option?

by Kirk 4/15/2020 9:57:16 PM
Test, does this thing work?

by Joe Christensen 4/15/2020 9:57:22 PM
What's everyone drinking? Who's partying?

by Michael Rand 4/15/2020 9:57:26 PM
Hello, Joe

by Brian Stensaas 4/15/2020 9:57:42 PM
If we restricted this to Minnesota teams only I would have to go off on a lot of meh-looking unis over the years

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 9:59:13 PM
Ooh, we can even insert a slideshow of some bad uniforms

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:00:30 PM
We just got a retweet from Uni Watch! Best draft ever. Thanks Phil Hecken.
OK let's pop the lid off this thing. Crack it open, Chris Carr. It's 5 o'clock right here. First overall pick. All the ugliness. Pop quiz hot shot. Who do you take?

by Michael Rand 4/15/2020 10:01:49 PM
The horror movie script font. The most evil wolf face ever. The pointy numbers. The trees. (The trees!!). There’s a reason why ALL of this design is gone. The No. 1 pick in the ugly unis draft is … The Timberwolves Tree Era uniform, the all-black version. I dig what the Wolves and Lynx wear now. The original Wolves uni was perfect (green-eyed wolf!). This … this was a disaster.

by Chris Carr 4/15/2020 10:03:11 PM
Homer pick.

by Brian Stensaas 4/15/2020 10:03:32 PM
No those are good!

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:03:52 PM
Shots fired!

by Joe Christensen 4/15/2020 10:03:57 PM
The blue and white one are better than the black ones because the majority of black uniforms are bad but still

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:04:17 PM
Not sure what the official name of that font was, but I called it "The Munsters.''

by randy.johnson 4/15/2020 10:04:31 PM
Worst No. 1 overall pick in these things: The Wolves' 90s unis as the worst ever or Friday Night Lights as the best sports movie ever?

by Ben Goessling 4/15/2020 10:04:32 PM
Wow, going right after the local team with the first pick. Send your letters to the sports editor, folks.

by Chris_Hine 4/15/2020 10:04:33 PM
I also admittedly liked the trees

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:04:39 PM
It always comes back to the trees in Minnesota.

by Joe Christensen 4/15/2020 10:04:59 PM
So much pressure! I'm sure I disappointed. Just needed to get 20 years of not liking that uni off my chest.

by Chris Carr 4/15/2020 10:05:05 PM
Those are definitely the worst Wolves uniforms. I did an entire way-too-long blog post about it once. (Though way-too-long and one of my Wolves blog posts is redundant).

by Michael Rand 4/15/2020 10:05:14 PM
We need the trees back at Target Field, while we're at it

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:05:21 PM
Why not make this a Zoom meeting?

by Jim Bob 4/15/2020 10:05:27 PM
I miss trees. Just in general right now.

by Naila-Jean Meyers 4/15/2020 10:05:59 PM
I have a giant pine in my yard that I keep thinking is going to tip over and crush my house one day

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:06:47 PM
With the second pick ... I wanted to go for true ugliness. I didn't want to go with a uniform that was so ugly it's actually kinda cool, like the old Padres uniforms. I wanted to pick something that I have always thought was hideous. In a previous life, I covered hockey, and it was always an eye sore in Bridgestone Arena in Nashville when the Predators would wear their all yellow jerseys, especially when the fans also were wearing yellow. So I'm going with a current jersey ... the Nashville Predators yellows.

by Chris_Hine 4/15/2020 10:07:18 PM
Ken "Sunshine and Rainbows" Chia, everybody!

by Brian Stensaas 4/15/2020 10:07:48 PM
Now that Tony Mandarich ... er, Wolves trees ... has left the board, it's time for the second pick. Chris Hine, who covers the Timberwolves, is up next with the No. 2 pick.

by Michael Rand 4/15/2020 10:08:06 PM
Those Predators uniforms don't rank in my top 10 worst NHL uniforms because solid color > anything multicolor

by Ken Chia 4/15/2020 10:08:12 PM
Good call, Chris. The Preds have been perfecting the ugly uniform thing for years.

by Joe Christensen 4/15/2020 10:09:04 PM
This is like when Lamar Jackson fell to 32nd overall

by Andrew Krammer 4/15/2020 10:09:21 PM
Nashville: Where everything is really cool, except our hockey uniforms.
