“Todd Radom is the Mike Trout of uniform and logo artistry. I’d argue that there should be a day when Todd is honored by the Hall of Fame, but remember, his work is already embedded there.”
—Buster Olney, ESPN
Winning Ugly is my loving homage to some of the most “questionable” MLB uniforms ever worn. It’s a tribute to the sheer chutzpah of whomever it was that decided that the Pittsburgh Pirates should wear a dizzying combination of black and gold uniforms that made them look for all the world like a swarm of bumblebees. Once upon a time the Padres looked like tacos and that the Astros wore tequila sunrises, and the White Sox swathed themselves in leisure suits. Winning Ugly is also a history of the baseball uniform, beginning with the ones that the Cincinnati Red Stockings first wore on July 15, 1867.
