Aaron Rodgers In A Steelers Jersey Fits Right Into The Out Of Place Jersey Hall Of Fame

No, that's not "Lookin' gr8". It looks weird as fuck. He looks really old and despite everyone knowing he was going to the Steelers, the color scheme is unnatural. At least with the Jets, it was green and white. A different green than Green Bay Packers...but it's the same sort of family of uniforms. This looks like terrible AI.

As bad as this looks, I kinda love it. It's very entertaining when a legendary player is wearing a jersey of a team that he has no memorable connection to. It's usually at the end of their careers (but not always!) and is a fun footnote to a great career. Here are some of my favorite players wearing weird uniforms.

Mike Piazza, Florida Marlins

(1998, 5 games)

What Mariano Rivera was to closers, Mike Piazza on the Marlins is to Guys In Weird Uniforms. You're getting him at his peak, for a very short time and in teal. It's the best.

Piazza was part of a giant trade from the Dodgers to the Marlins where the last few pieces of the World Champion Marlins from the year before were being shipped away because owner Wayne Huizenga didn't want to pay players after winning a title. The Marlins acquired Mike Piazza (and Todd Zeile) in that trade with the intent on trading them both. Piazza was gone to the Mets after only 5 games. He never hit a home run with the Marlins but strangely did hit a triple.

If you go to Cooperstown, this stint in Florida is on his Hall Of Fame plaque.

Patrick Ewing, Seattle Supersonics

(2000-01, 79 games)

To be fair to Big Pat, the Sonics were doing him no favors with these hideous jerseys. Especially when you consider how great the classic Sonics jerseys were. No one can look good in these godawful things.

I know some of you might be wondering why I don't have Ewing with the Magic here instead. I just find this whole thing more odd. With the Magic, he was just hanging on and did retire after that year. With Seattle, he was still starting every game along with Gary Payton on a decent enough team that won 44 games (but just missed the playoffs).

Hakeem Olajuwon, Toronto Raptors

(2001-02, 61 games)

This was the same year that Ewing was in Orlando and equally as sad. So much of this was odd. Lenny Wilkens was the coach of this Raptors team (I just had to look that up)? Hakeem Olajuwon and Vince Carter were teammates? I wonder if Hakeem could do things differently, he would have never played this season in Toronto. It's such a weird ending to someone who should have been a lifetime Rocket.

Rickey Henderson, Anaheim Angels

(1997, 32 games)

Obviously Rickey bounced all over the place throughout his great career. But I still do tie him to the A's, Yankees, Padres and even the Mets, Red Sox and Dodgers more than I do to the Angels. I don't think it helps that they have the goofy Angels In The Outfield look for the team name.

He also only played there for about 7 weeks. He was traded in mid-August as the Angels were fighting for a playoff spot (managed by Terry Collins) that they missed out on. He was back in Oakland to start the next season.

Also on that Angels team…Eddie Murray!
