On Saturday, the Los Angeles Galaxy plan to honor the team's 2005 MLS Cup championship with a throwback night.

Throwback celebrations are common in sports, of course, but not so common in Major League Soccer, which is a relatively young league that is still building its historical and sentimental base.

While the 2005 Galaxy throwback threads are generally aesthetically pleasing, there are a good number from the league's early years that aren't so nice.

Here's a look at five MLS throwback uniforms that are best left in the past.

1. San Jose Clash

The Clash's original official color scheme was celery green (celery green!?!), forest green, red, light teal (because teal was so hot back in the 1990s) and black, but that jersey color combo looks more like something the dog might barf up. The team logo featured a scorpion, which begs the question, why go with Clash when you could have been the Scorpions? Seems much cooler.

The Clash played in Major League Soccer's inaugural game, which might explain why some soccer purists got scared away from the league early on.

In 2000, the Clash became the Earthquakes. Gone was celery green, as the new team colors became the much more pleasant blue, black, white and silver.

2. Tamp Bay Mutiny

Tampa Bay (inevitably?) could get an MLS expansion team, but that doesn't mean the city's modern-day franchise should do an homage to its MLS predecessor, the Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The Mutiny were an MLS original in 1996, but were contracted following the 2001 season. During those six seasons, the Mutiny wore gawdy uniforms inspired by video games and the team name font suggested something straight out of the Atari 2600.

(For the record, the Tampa Bay Rowdies — the area's next potential MLS team — sport glorious uniforms, and that applies to both the current and throwback versions.)

3. Dallas Burn

In 2005, Dallas did a total brand/logo reconstruction to coincide with the opening of their new stadium in Frisco, Texas. Gone was the fire-breathing horse and in were the glorious hoops. It's actually been so long now that it's easy forget that the Burn even existed.

4. Kansas City Wiz

Before Sporting Kansas City there were the Kansas City Wizards, and before the Wizards there were the Wiz, who wore rainbow-themed jerseys. A rebrand in 2011 confined the Wizards to the history books and the updated kits have been superb ever since.

However, to celebrate the team's 20th season, SKC did bring its original Wiz look back, but only for warmups.

5. New England Revolution

This team seems long overdue for the sort absolute rebranding many of the aforementioned teams long ago experienced. The Revs have arguably the worst logo in MLS, which overall has a very appealing logo collection.
