There are some athletes who have legendary careers with one particular team.  And sometimes it’s hard to believe that the face of a franchise for so long actually played for another team at some point (usually towards the end of their career).

Sometimes players just have to cut ties and move on, and vice versa.  As all of you know all this Brett Favre Minnesota talk that’s been going on all this time has obviously sparked up this topic.

It’s just weird seeing guys like Favre in any uniforms other than their “true” uniforms.  Here are 10 examples that really shot out to me.  There are tons more but these guys really were faces of their franchises and seeing them in their final seasons in odd jerseys almost makes you think “say it ain’t so.”

Babe Ruth – Boston Braves

Yeah it’s Boston but come on.  It’s just weird seeing Ruth in anything but a Yankees uniform.

Jerry Rice – Seattle Seahawks

Seeing Rice in that uniform was just plain sad.  Yeah he had a couple decent games but come on man.  He should have gone out a 49er.   He was solid on the Raiders though.

Steve Carlton – Minnesota Twins

I never even knew Carlton was on any team but the Phils.  This guy was a Philly through and through.

Willie Mays – NY Mets

These were the sad Willie Mays years.

Emmitt Smith – Cardinals

I’d like to forget this ever happened and I hope Cowboy fans do.

Joe Namath – Rams

Say it ain’t so Joe.

OJ – 49ers

Well at least he didn’t kill anyone on the team

Hakeem Olajuwon on the Raptors

He’ll always be a Rocket.

Robert Parish – Chicago Bulls

Man he must have smoked buckets of weed on that team

Brett Favre – Minnesota Vikings

Oh come on, we know this is happening.
