This Thursday is St. Patrick’s Day, which means we’re going to be seeing a lot of green. And that’s fine by me, because green has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. When my parents were going to get me a bicycle for my fifth birthday, I made sure they knew it had to be green. (It was.) Half a century later, I now have green sheets on my bed, green towels in my bathroom, a green sofa in my living room, lots of green clothing, and, in case you hadn’t noticed, a green-themed media brand devoted to sports uniforms.
All of which, I not-so-humbly submit, makes me extremely well-equipped to create a ranking of the best green designs in sports uniform history. Frankly, I’m surprised I never thought of doing it before! And what better time than now, when green is in the air?
