Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet there's a bunch of naked picnic tables. <br /><br />Those uniforms are even worse than the ugly Brooklyn Dodger uniform worn around 1916.<br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>There are nine guys and the Captain (Guy wearing white) appears to be holding a baseball. I'd guess this is circa 1890. I would vote those uniforms "Worst ever".

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>No way, Dan. Those uniforms are ugly, but I have a picture of the Mack Daddy of ugly baseball uniforms.<br /><br />Unfortunately I was the underbidder on this insane piece of work. Evidently someone else thought this was as hysterical as I did, and was willing to bid even higher than the ridiculous sum I bid for the pleasure of owning this.<br /><br />I did, however, save a scan.<br /><br />Check out the insane guy on the left. <br /><br />Sorry about the hijack, but it was worth it.<br /><br /><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/Novocent/CrazyUniforms.jpg"><br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>On Jeff's photo at the top, that looks like football goal posts just to the right and behind the guy standing on the right. Looks like a 2x4 across 2 uprights.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I was going to say the same thing.....<br /><br />I see football goal posts!<br /><br /><br />of course - it looks like a baseball team - but it is cool that you see evidence of another sport in the background.<br /><br />Very cool item.<br /><br /><br />(Patrick - great response. - LOL. <br />Al - The guy on the left is the worst dressed I have ever seen.... but as far as the team goes - I don't mind those uniforms.... they are better than the picnic table cloths).<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff S.</b><p>These two teams should play each other...and let hilarity ensue. Good catch on the goal post looking thing in the background.
