Hilariously hideous 1980 Tucson Toros uniforms making colorful comeback in June

One tiny accident with the laundry in the spring of 1980 took them from us. But the rainbow-rific Tucson Toros uniforms, which proudly mark the death rattle of disco fashion, are making a comeback in June.
The San Diego Padres' minor-league affiliate at Class AAA is reviving Tucson's take on the "Tequila Sunrise" uniforms worn famously by the Houston Astros from the middle 1970s until 1986, when Houston was Tucson's parent city. The Tucson Padres will wear the old-school eyesores June 8 as part of Disco Night at Kino Stadium.

I saw those yesterday. And, I LOVE the fact that they could not find one single original jersey, and they had to re-create these from pictures from the internet.

Remembering the Astros from that period, these unis, while ugly, do line up pretty well with their MLB counterparts.

Unfortunately, the late 1970's early 80's were not kind to players and teams uniform wise, thinking specifically of the Astro's, and also the Padres, and their "mustard & mud" ensambles.

Glad you like this Big!

I do. My next favorites, after the classics (Yankees, Tigers), are the real hideous ones.

And, with the White Sox chosing one old uni to wear on sundays each year, I wonder if they are going to bring back the baseball shorts of 1976?
