BEST GREEN JERSEY IN SPORTS? TOUGH BATTLE AT THE TOP, BUT WE'RE TAKING THE CELTICS

What is All-World Power Rankings?

It's Earth Day. Fun. (Try not to be such a wasteful jerk today, ya know?) We're going the easy route and ranking the best green (get it?) jerseys in sports. 1-2 was actually a really tough decision. If you've got thoughts, hit us up.

TOP 5
RANK (YESTERDAY)		WHAT	WHY
	1 (145)	THE CELTICS	We'll take 'em here. Probably the most important team in NBA history, right? (Maybe No. 2, maybe No. 3-4 if you're a New York/Chicago homer.) Celtic green is iconic.
	2 (102)	THE NOTRE DAME GREEN JERSEYS	…so is this, though. Classic green jersey clip right here.
	3 (84)	GREEN BAY PACKERS	Also tremendous and iconic. Man, this 1-2-3 slotting is tough. Can you imagine if we were ranking all those rando St. Patrick's Day games when everyone goes out and wears green? Gawd. Who exactly are we talking to? No clue.
	4 (71)	PHILADELPHIA EAGLES	Their fans get a bum rap. Nothing if not passionate, though. Here's a cool video about their fans.
	5 (920)	THE OAKLAND A'S	If you ever think to yourself that the A's aren't truly at the "epic" level of sports, here are two pieces of information for your mind: (a) within the last decade, they have won twenty games in a row , which is almost impossible in baseball and (b) you know who is playing Billy Beane in the film version of Moneyball? Brad Pitt. That is balling.

HONORABLE MENTION
RANK (YESTERDAY)		WHAT	WHY
	12 (404)	OREGON DUCKS	Everyone always hates on these uniforms. Two words, spelled as one: shuddup. They are pretty.
	28 (99)	MINNESOTA WILD	We loved the old North Stars jerseys. Actually owned a Brian Bellows one at a point in time. No idea what happened to that jersey. It's probably under our childhood bed, with a whole mess of Crayola markers and about sixty-five copies of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

RISING AND FALLING
MOVEMENT		WHAT
		TULANE GREEN WAVE (We like these.)
		SEATTLE SUPERSONICS (So sad.)
