PITTSBURGH, PA — The Pirates have suffered numerous indignities this season besides their awful won-lost record: Bucs first baseman Will Craig famously and needlessly engaging in a rundown between home and first with the Cubs Javier Baez and the Pirates Ke'Bryan Hayes being called out after hitting a home run because he failed to touch first base spring instantly.

Now comes another one. A survey of fans across the country indicates little love for the Pirate uniforms. The poll was conducted by PlayUSA,a website providing news and information regarding legal and regulated online gambling in the United States.

The Pirates on-field apparel ranked 26th out of 30 Major League Baseball teams. Behind them, in order, were the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins were ranked lower.
