I hear ya, GB. But he did have 5 full seasons in that evil gear. It sunk in after awhile.

I had a helluva hard time finding a larger pic of Thurman in a Fins jersey. The only one I found had writingscribbled all over it. If someone finds a better pic I'll edit it into the original post.

Most of these are good candidates, but it has to be Unitas. Talk about 1 guy synonymous (sp?) with a team...to wear anything other than a Colts' uniform should be nauseating for any fan of the NFL, Unitas/Colt fan or not (unless you flat-out hated them I guess). It's like Lombardi coaching the Skins or imagining Marino as a Viking or some such.

I think it's got to be Rice:
He's wearing the uniform number of another HoF player at the same position for a different team AFTER the guy left and had his number retired, when no one else ever wore that number for the team.
Some of these, like Favre, aren't a big deal - it's where they started.

I voted Unitas - going from the Colts to the Chargers is just way too weird. The guy is synonymous with the Colts. Compared to today's NFL, where player movement is more prevalent, Unitas' move seems to most wrong.

I always felt that Namath with the Rams signified "stayed too long" so that was my vote. Though the Rice take was a good one.
Couldn't vote for any of the "befores" like Favre. That's almost the equivalent of a college jersey - it's more part of their legacy than the hanging on too long part.
Czonka with the Giants probably would be good for this pole, especially given his starring role in the notorious Herman Edwards touchdown (which I was actually at, though being like 7 or so everybody stood up at that moment and I didn't see a damn thing)

Had it in there originally, but there was only room for 15 choices.Same for Jim Taylor with the Saints.

I feel ya, and I thought about not including Favre and Young because their strange uniform period came before they became true studs. But this wasn't a "Which pathetic, washed-up has-been should never have worn this other uniform?" poll. Rather, it was merely a "Which player looks the 'most wrong' in another uniform?" poll. Subtle difference, but still.

In the Unitas photo - look at the big jaw-slap the DT is putting on that TE. That is old school football!

This is who I picked as well. Just weird.
Mungo Burrows

Johnny U. That is just wrong.
Dorsett was closest behind him.
Didn't even consider the early career guys (Favre, Young, etc.)

It's hard to look strange when you haven't established yourself yet.I remember the first time I saw Naimath and Unitas in their SoCal uni's and thinking WTF?
