5 I think the Pirates alt is worse, actually. That SBXLI jersey isn't intended to be worn on the field and just looks like a modern soccer jersey. Don't get me wrong, it's bad, but not Pirates Alternate Jersey bad.
I assume the third jersey will be worn on Sundays.
So the unlucky opponents will be:
San Francisco
Cincinnati (twice)
Atlanta
Arizona (which is switching to red)
Dodgers
White Sox
Washington
Cubs (twice)
Houston
Philadelphia
St. Louis
That just makes me sad. It's one thing for the Diamondbacks or Devil Rays to have hideous uniforms with random colors, but the Pirates have a proud history that ought to be respected. Even the 70's uniforms (which may not have been everyone's cup of tea) still stuck to the black and gold color scheme.
i generally prefer alternates, but that thing is absolutely hideous. the tragedy is that the pirates' normal uniform is a thing of beauty; one of the best uniforms in baseball. there's no need to mess with it.

Home whites, road grays. That's it. This is not Nam, Smokey, there are rules!

Does the FCC consider this obscene ... it qualifies as a "wardrobe malfunction".
