10. Chicago Bears (NFL)

The history behind the Bears uniforms is wicked interesting. The team founder, George Halas, borrowed the navy blue and orange from his alma mater, University of Illinois. The jerseys have stayed the same ever since, and they have been worn for around 95 years, including one Super Bowl victory.

9. Green Bay Packers (NFL)

Haha, this is ironic because the Packers and Bears are rivals, but anyways. The green and gold have been the staple of success and consistency from Bart Starr to Brett Farve to now Aaron Rodgers.

8. New England Patriots (NFL)

Okay, the Patriots were the laughing stock of the NFL up until the Tom Brady era in the early 2000's. But, since 2000, the classic red, white and blue has won four Super Bowls and been home to 10 AFC Championship games (probably 11 in two weeks).

7. Chicago Cubs (MLB)

The most beloved losers? No more! The classic pinstripes with the red C inside a blue circle is so iconic. Those jerseys have seen some serious tears. Tears of sadness, and, of course, joy.

6. Boston Celtics (NBA)

Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Bob Cousey, John Havlicek, Paul Pierce... 17 NBA Championships! There is no way that 'greatness' is not the first thing you think of when you see the green and white.

5. Boston Red Sox (MLB)

This uniform may be my personal favorite. The simplicity of just a white jersey with the red lettering really is so iconic. From players like Ted Williams and Jim Rice to the new star of Mookie Betts and the beloved David 'Big Papi' Ortiz. That uniform will always be known.

4. Detroit Red Wings (NHL)

The Red Wings adopted their name in 1932 along with the logo of wings attached to a tire. The red jersey with white trim is known all around the world. The simplicity along with the cultural history is really what makes this jersey crack the top five.

3. Oakland Raiders (NFL)

The silver and black! The Raiders uniforms really were part of the west-cost culture. Rap groups like NWA all wore Raider gear because, well, it was intimidating. Nevertheless, the uniforms have never changed, anytime you see the black jersey with silver lettering, you know what it is.

2. Dallas Cowboys (NFL)

I do not know how to explain this one. Just, the white and blue is so simple and basic, but the star is what makes them stand out. The star on the helmet signifies the art of winning.

1. New York Yankees (MLB)

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Derek Jetter... Come on. The pinstripe at number one is a no-brainer. 27 World Series and 40 AL Pennants... Geez, that uniform has seen a lot!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

No, I can't help you.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
