    In an ESPN.com Page 2 post today, writer Paul Lukas goes on an "uni watch" in his story titled "The Uni Watch Hall of Shame." He lists, "once and for all," the worst sports uniforms of all time.

    In the story, our Milwaukee Bucks and their recently ditched purple uniforms come in at number 10. Lukas also, like many, wonders why the Bucks ever ditched the very cool Bango Buck logo that the team sported from 1968 to May 1993. Lukas writes:

    "10. Milwaukee Bucks, 1993-2006. You didn't really think Uni Watch could compile a list like this without including one solid-purple monstrosity, did you? There's a depressingly large number of them to choose from, but Uni Watch gives the nod to the Bucks, who not only came up with a grotesque color scheme in 1993, but also sent the NBA's coolest logo to the glue factory, much to the franchise's everlasting shame. The good news is that the Bucks' purple reign is over: The team recently unveiled a new color scheme, with updated uniforms slated to debut in September. Welcome back to chromatic civilization, Milwaukee -- we've missed you."

    His #1-3 worst uniforms? Denver Broncos (1960-'61), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (1998-2000) and Vancouver Canucks (1978-'85).
