Diamonds in the rough: best and worst in the area.

Baseball is a sport littered with different uniform styles good (New York Yankees classic pinstripes), bad (Houston Astros early 80's popsicle) and ugly (Chicago White Sox big collar/shorts from the 70's). Therefore it only makes sense the Nationals and Orioles boast a checkered history of clothing...

BUY-- You can't go wrong with the Orioles classic uniforms--although I wish they'd put "Baltimore" on their road jerseys. The bird on the cap works as well.

BURY-- The cartoon bird on the cap worked while Earl Weaver managed the Birds to AL East titles, but is hopelessly out of date now. Meanwhile, could somebody tell the Nationals the Anaheim Angels already have their color scheme? I wish the Nats worked the old Expos royal blue into their scheme-- and I'm not a fan of the cursive cap plus the block lettering on the jerseys.

BURN-- Start and stop with the O's orange crush from the late 70's-- I think they lost the 1979 World Series based on those jerseys alone.

coming up tomorrow--college collections...
