We told you a couple of days ago about Uni-Watch.com's Paul Lukas and his master list ranking the uniforms of all 122 major league franchises in North America.

Lukas basically hates the Arizona Cardinals' unis -- they came in ranked 114th, and fourth-ugliest among NFL squads.

Well, it turns out Lukas isn't that fond of the other Valley teams' looks either.

The Phoenix Coyotes rank 76th overall -- which is the highest for any Phoenix team! Says Lukas:

Admit it: You miss their Cubist phase. Sure, it was silly, but playing hockey in the desert is a silly enterprise to begin with, so why not run with that? There's nothing wrong with their current look when viewed in a vacuum, but it feels a tad unadventurous, no?

One spot lower, the Phoenix Suns.

The basic template is refreshingly straightforward, and the uni number going through the hoop is a simple concept that totally works. So why don't they rank higher? Simple: purple and gray is a brutal color combo, and orange and gray isn't far behind. Why have any gray at all? You're called the Suns, not the Clouds. Jeez.

And coming in at #90, the Arizona Diamondbacks -- or the third-worst uniform in Major League Baseball, behind only the San Diego Padres (#103) and the Cleveland Indians (#98).

How to look like a minor league team: 1. Wear your nickname, instead of your full team name, on your chest. 2. Render the nickname in digital lettering that's difficult to decipher. 3. While you're at it, render your road insignia in a mix of upper- and lowercase lettering. 4. Add lots of black elements, just because.

What say you? Who's got the nicest threads in Phoenix?

What professional team in Phoenix has the best uniforms?
Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Diamondbacks
Phoenix Coyotes
Phoenix Suns

    I like them
    The only jersey I don't care for is the Suns. It's probably just because Orange and Purple are not great together and I agree the gray doesn't help either. This jersey rater seem kinda bias anyways

    I like them too...more or less
    While they are not the coolest in the league, they are better than what there were ranked. Only two criticisms from me, 1) the purple Suns jerseys are pretty bad, and 2) The white Cardinals helmet really does not go that well w/the red or black jerseys. Lukas is smoking something to not rate the Dbacks or Coyotes harder. Ah well, it's just one mans opinion after all.

    Coyotes uniforms fantastic!!!!!
    The howling Coyote was one of the reason's that I started really getting into the team. I just moved here from cornfield country a year ago permanently and attended my first hockey game last October. Immediately, I thought the howling coyote symbol was just plain COOL. Of course in my 35 years and 80,000 miles as a distance runner, I was attacked by a coyote on a 4a.m. run before work back in 2006. Had to get rabies shots and the works, first time that I got in to a doctors office that fast. Maybe that caused some sort of werewolf affect... LETs go COYTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
