I'd say ice hockey. NHL has colorful uniforms. Flyers have always been my team since I'm from Philly. Goalie masks are very cool. Baseball uniforms have become weird, pants go all the way down to their shoes and have done away with socks.

Hands down, USMC. I played hockey when goalies didn't wear masks. I was at a Pens game when Pen's goalie Les Binkley took a puck to the face. Picture a pool of blood spreading on the white ice. Which 1970s Flyer was born and raised in Flin Flon Manitoba? That would be Bobby Clarke, captain of the Broad Street Bullies. The 1976 Philadelphia Flyers–Red Army game was legendary. I agree that hockey jerseys are the coolest. I watch IIHL games and I wish I had a jersey from each team in my closet. The game is so beautiful it needs to be played on Olympic sized rinks. 15 feet wider at the red line. It changes the game. The puck spends much less time on the boards. The NHL would play in a phone booth if they could. They know Americans love the physical contact. There is much less of it on open ice.

Grew up in Philly suburbs and and 1973-74 Flyers had amazing team. Bernie was No 1. Rick Mcleish, Andre DuPont, Reg Leach, Bill Barber, Dave The Hammer Schulz. Those Rangers, Bruins and Islanders games were always rough.

That was back before the NHL required helmets. (1979) I can picture those players skating around during the pregame. Hockey was great back then. It's even better today.

Hockey is definitely up there. I like how freeing/barebones a basketball uniform looks though.

oh yeah, still are. McAvoy broke his jaw in November from taking a slapshot then basically as soon as he stopped playing with a face shield, he took another puck to the face, and then later was slammed into the glass. He played way better after being hit and went on to win the game for us.
