After my last post listing the top ten teams whose old uniforms were better than their current ones, I thought I'd do another post along the same lines. This time it's the top 10 teams whose uniforms I hope never change. Some of these uniforms probably will be changed someday, but one can always hope not. All the teams on my list are ones whose uniforms I think potentially could be changed someday. I didn't include any teams whose uniforms have so much history that they'll probably never have any major changes made to them. Like the last list, baseball, basketball and football are the only sports represented and photos are included.
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers made one of the best uniform changes in history when they switched from those terrible light orange jerseys to the cool red ones they have now in 1997. They fit the team's pirate theme and the colors are bold but well-balanced. I don't see any way they could do better than these.
9. Portland Trail Blazers

While they've made some slight changes in recent years (such as adding a border to the letters and making the road jerseys say "PORTLAND"), the basic design has stayed the same since 1991. I've always liked this uniform. I hope they don't make the mistake of trying to revamp it.
8. Kansas City Chiefs

I don't think the Chiefs have ever had a different uniform. That's a good thing. These yellow and red threads are a nice throwback to the old days of the AFL.
7. Detroit Pistons

The Pistons made a good move in 2002 when they got rid of those teal uniforms and returned to the look of their classic jerseys with a modern touch. It seems that it isn't uncommon for a team to make a uniform change only to realize years later that their classic look was better.
6. Washington Wizards

Ever since the Bullets changed their name to the Wizards they've had the uniforms they currently sport. I had a scare (for lack of a better word) earlier this season when I turned on the TV and saw the Wizards wearing an ugly gold version of this uniform, but was relieved to discover later that it was only an alternate and that the team still has the one pictured.
5. Detroit Lions

They've had these uniforms for a long time. That cool lion silhouette on the helmet and the "Hawaii blue" jerseys are a winner in my book.
4. Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies are another example of a team returning to an old look after years of wearing something different. The red, white and blue color scheme is good for the team that plays in our nation's original capital, and the stars that dot the i's are a nice touch. I hope they're smart enough to stick with this design, as they have been for the past 15 years.
3. San Diego Chargers

All those lightning bolts are awesome. I was disappointed when the Chargers were eliminated in the Playoffs this year because I was pulling for them, but another minor reason to be disappointed was that we wouldn't get to see their great uniforms anymore this season.
2. Atlanta Braves

They've had the same basic uniforms since 1987, though a few alternate caps and jerseys have been added along the way. They wore a similar uniform back in the old days, but for about 20 years they experimented with different ones. This uniform has stood the test of time, so I doubt they plan to change it anytime soon, but I wouldn't put anything past Ted Turner.
1. tie-Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears
I'm not going to lie. These are three of my teams, and I have a strong attachment to each of their uniforms.

The White Sox have had their old-fashioned look with the pinstripes and chest logo since the 1991 season. I think they're the most likely team on this list to make a uniform change, but I also think that many of us fans have embraced the Sox' look the way it is over the years.

I'm almost inclined to put the Bulls in the class of teams whose uniforms have so much history that they'll never change, but I think a slight chance exists that the team would want something new someday.

Some people might think it impossible that the Bears could ever change their classic uniforms, but years ago I remember reading some columnist in the Chicago Tribune making suggestions to the Bears franchise, and one thing he said was (paraphrased) "Get new uniforms. The Broncos finally won a Super Bowl after they changed theirs." I read recently that Ron Wolf had planned to change the Packers' famous uniforms early on in his tenure as GM, but he changed his mind at the last minute. You never know.
If any executive from any of these teams ever reads this, I can sum up my post in a simple statement. Your uniforms look great. Don't try to mess with a good thing.
