Best: Juventus Torino, Italian soccer club. (Black and white vertical stripes jersey, black shorts, black socks) Worst: Borussia Dortmund, German soccer club. (Black and FLUORESCENT yellow jerseys, black shorts, black and yellow socks - they look like a bunch of colorado bugs) Coldfire * * * “You know how complex women are” - Neil Peart, Rush (1993) ---

Worst - Denver Broncos of the mid 60’s. Just for the socks. Pittsburgh Pirates of the 70’s Chicago White Sox - The infamous shorts experiment. Denver Nuggets of the 80’s Philadelphia 76ers of the early to mid 90’s ---

**General worst** : Baseball - do the cups make them look like their wearing diapers, or is it my imagination? And the uniforms are totally unforgiving of slightly overweight physiques. **General best** : Soccer - Soccer guys are just damn sexy, period. The uniforms just make them sexier. V-neck jerseys that show their collarbones, silky loose shorts… And you got to love those manly calves with the long socks. ::drooling:: * * * Most common question I ask: “What?” Most common question I get: “Are you really hearing impaired?” ---

Worst - Charlotte Hornets basketball (looks like pajamas), Cleveland Browns football (very boring). Best - Miami Dolphins football, St. Louis Cardinals baseball. ---

Best uniforms: Montreal Expos road. Gray with red & blue script “Montreal” Worst - present Cleveland Cavaliers. Their colors are black, sky blue & orange, the same colors as a nasty bruise, except that a bruise looks better. ---

## I’m for (against?) the Astros too. Those colors just epitomized the drugged-out 70’s. Ditto the Denver Nuggets with the Denver skyline in rainbow colors. I like the Donkeys’ new colors, although I’ll miss seeing thousands of people in orange at Mile high Stadium, like a big bowl of Kool-Aid. My high school colors were awful- red and green. Christmas or Homecoming?-you decide! “On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright…” ---

The Oregon Ducks have a new football helmet with a big O on the side. Looks like a zero. I can’t believe no one there thought of that. Part of being a Duck, I guess. ---
