In a ranking of the top 20 markets with three or more professional sports franchises (sorry Seattle), ESPN’s Uni Watch ranked Denver 18th, ahead of only Tampa Bay and Atlanta.
Boston, Pittsburgh and Chicago were the top three “best-dressed cities,” according to the admittedly unscientific rankings.
About Denver, Uni Watch had these comments…
You have to say this much about the Mile High City’s teams: They use some interesting colors, like orange (Broncos), purple (Rockies) and sky blue (Nuggets). Too bad those hues aren’t deployed to more tasteful effect. UNI WATCH SCORE: Rockies: 4.5, Broncos: 3, Nuggets: 5.5, Avalanche: 2.5. UNI: 3.88
The Rapids were left off their assessment, but there’s little doubt they’d have a hard time accessorizing with burgundy, as well.
Sorry, ESPN, but here at Mile High Sports we think you’re just not fashion forward enough to rock our colors. So go ahead and bathe yourselves in red, blue and yellow – we’re just fine with our team colors.
In fact, let us show you how they look on some of Denver’s finest.
Here’s a look back at some pages from the 2012 Snow Angels edition of Mile High Sports Magazine, in which Jordan rocked our local teams’ colors.
Here she is in a classic Nuggets look…
Check out Jordan in orange and blue…

With all due respect to ESPN and their Uni Watch “best-dressed cities” list, we humbly submit one of our favorite Snow Angels, Jordan, showing how “true” our colors can be.
We might have a bit of an orange crush, thanks to Jordan…
Here she is in purple pinstripes…

It’s not that ESPN and their Uni Watch “best-dressed cities” list got it wrong ranking Denver No. 18 (coincidence?), we just think one of our favorite Snow Angels, Jordan, makes our city’s unis look a little beter.
Here she is in Rockies purple and non-conforming stirrup socks…
And even though the Uni Watch report was only for pro uniforms, we had to throw in a little love for the CU Buffs. When you see Jordan, you’ll understand why…

So ESPN ranked Denver 18th out of 20 on their “best-dressed cities” Uni Watch list? We just roll with it.
As does Jordan…
The air may be a little thinner here in Denver than at the ESPN offices, but we’re breathing easy about this contest.
