Worst Uniforms in Sports

It's amazing some of the gawdawful crap that teams trot out and call uniforms nowadays. For every uniform like the Yankees, deep rooted in tradition, you have a team like the Arizona Cardinals, who look to a combination of the XFL and Starship Troopers for their inspiration. What is it about a nice color scheme, subtle blends, and tradition that some teams just don't get. Is it any wonder that the teams with the worst uniforms also just happen to be the worst teams too? Guys, you don't see the Yanks or the Bulls changing their uniforms ever year.

The teams on this list make it for a variety of reasons - ugly-ass colors, ridiculous ideas, horrible logos, or usually a combination of all 3. I'm considering only the everyday uniforms here, cause if we opened this up to all those "experimental" uniforms teams trot out sometimes (though I DO like the camouflage Padres uniforms), this list could grow to 100. I've also allowed hockey to be considered a "professional" sports league for this argument, because frankly they have a lot of entries on the list.

Here are the 10 worst uniforms in professional sports...

UM Skunkbears

The wolverine (Gulo gulo) is the largest land-dwelling species of the Mustelidae or weasel family. I'm just saying... that the uniform they're wearing. Think about it.

Nashville Predators

What color are these uniforms exactly? I can only describe this color as "toilet bowl brown after a long night of drinking". I don't think you're going to be finding this color in your next box of Crayola 64 either.

I can only imagine the arguments that the guys in Nashville had when talking about this uniform. "What if we threw a big sabre-tooth tiger on the front of a jersey that's the same color as the tiger's fur." "What color was their fur exactly?" "Well, it was a grass colored brown to blend into the surroundings." "Excellent! That will look great on ice".

Seriously, guys, you're already going uphill here trying to peddle a 2nd rate hockey team on a city that would rather be strumming their guitar at a NASCAR race.

Miami Dolphins

In what can only be described as "inspired by the people that brought you backwoods hunting gear", these uniforms eliminate the need for any field lights when playing at night. These uniforms are so ugly, Ricky Williams retired rather than wear it (though I can't confirm that fact, it sure sounds good).

The Dolphins were the worst team in the NFL this year, yet they didn't wear these jerseys all year long. C'mon, let's strive for excellence down there - just think how bad you could have been if you had worn these jerseys this year. You could have definitely had a shot at a winless season, and that's something that no one can take away (not even the Giants).

New Orleans Hornets

I understand that teal was cool in the early 90's. I also understand that when they moved to New Orleans, they needed to add something to make it all their own. But yellow and purple? Were those colors ever cool? Let's just hope when they move to another city in a few years they don't keep adding colors, and just go ahead and decide to start over.
