The unis with teal in them, aside from the #tbt outfit, are particularly . . . hard on the eyes. They look like something a video game designer might have created with 16-bit color, or a strange combination of a D-backs outfit and an old-school Marlins uni. The red alternates look too much like the Angels' alts. And don't get us started with the shoulders.

After all that, the cap selection is mundane by comparison.
