Ahh, jerseys. Every sports fan has to have at least one of their favorite player’s jersey. Some girls get them just because they like the color. Others get them to be funny, or retro. Others just get them because they are on sale...

Top 10 Most Unwearable Jerseys

Ahh, jerseys. Every sports fan has to have at least one of their favorite player’s jersey. Some girls get them just because they like the color. Others get them to be funny, or retro. Others just get them because they are on sale.

After getting a Vilma, Kidd, K-Mart, and Jefferson jersey, I gave up. All of them were traded and now I just feel like an idiot.

One has to realize that there are consequences when buying jerseys. Be it murder trials, scandals, boneheaded plays, or trades. Anyway, before someone purchases a jersey in some bargain bin, make sure none of the following names are on the back.

 

10. Any WNBA jersey (just wanted to get that out of the way first). Meaning a guy wearing a WNBA jersey.

 

9. Brett Favre/Manny Ramirez - I retire, no wait, I want to play, no wait, I retire, no...when will this story end? Favre has become such a problem in Green Bay that he was recently offered $25 million just to stay away.

I don't think a Red Sox Ramirez jersey is all that popular right now considering he was basically giving up on the team with his lack of hustle and antics. I guess Manny is going to be Manny in L.A., at least until one of the two parties involved grows tired of the other.

This spot was originally for a Randall Gay jersey, sorry if I offended anybody.

 

8. Bill Buckner - Even after the Sox broke the curse and have won two World Series in the last few years, has anybody really forgiven Buckner in Boston? I don’t think I would take the chance of sporting a Buckner jersey anywhere around the Boston area.

 

7. Leon Lett - Although he was a two-time Pro Bowler and part of the Dallas Cowboys' three Super Bowl victories in the ‘90s, he will probably be remembered for two real stupid/hilarious plays.

The first play coming in Super Bowl XXVII. Lett recovered a fumble on the 45-yard line and was running it back for a clear touchdown, at around the 10, Leon outstretched his arm with the ball. Not seeing a hustling Don Beebe, the ball was stripped and knocked out of the end zone, which resulted in a touchback. Granted, the play had no effect on the game at all, it must have been really embarrassing for Cowboy’s nation.

The second play came on a Thanksgiving Day game in ’93. With the Cowboys leading the Dolphins 14-13 in the closing seconds, Miami attempted a field goal. During the game, there was a rare snowstorm in Dallas which covered the field. Anyway, the Cowboys wound up blocking the kick.

While his teammates made a circle around the ball and started celebrating, Lett broke through to recover the ball. I don’t know if he even knows what he was thinking, but he slipped on the ice when trying to get it. The Dolphins recovered the ball on the one-yard line. Miami wound up winning the game.

Come to think of it, maybe I would wear his jersey; it would be a conversation starter.

      Haha actually tons of people tried to special order personalized Ron Mexico jerseys from NFL shop when that whole story surfaced.
      They eventually got banned.

      Forget that if Mike Vick would have got caught in Texas they would have slapped him on the hands and he would have walked. Not agreeing with dog fighting but come on people they are just dogs. I don't see everyone holding palm palms up for the several NFL players caught cock fighting ion Louisana in 2002. Sure its legal but if your worried about a dog then worry about some chickens too cause at least we eat them.

      I grew up in Wisconsin, and waaay back in the day (talking pre-ESPN, okay?), I knew someone who wore a Dick Trickle racing jacket every day to high school. Never saw the humor until Dan Patrick made the name nationally famous.

      Here's a true story. I am a 49er fan and I was living in Sydney, Australia. This incident was in 2005 and about a couple weeks before training camp. I was at the KFC on George Street in Sydney's CBD, and I saw this kid wearing a Terrell Owens replica jersey. He was obviously a tourist and he was with his family. I went up to him and said, "Mate, I support the 49ers, in a few months you'll regret ever getting that jersey." A couple weeks later, TO said he wasn't the one "who got tired in the Super Bowl," and he held out because of contract dispute. The rest is history. But I always wondered what that kid did with his TO jersey.

    A Rams Lawrence Phillips jersey? A Bengals Akili Smith or Ki-Jana Carter jersey? How about a Chargers jersey with "Leaf" on the back? My favorite would be a #5 Dolphins jersey with "Finkle" on the back.

      The first 2 players you named ended up in the CFL the last few years. Phillips was actually somewhat successful until his attitude caught up to him. Smith stood on the sidelines as a back-up for a while and then as soon as he was called upon, failed miserably...

      As for my vote for the list Onterrio Smith (The Original Whizzinator) would definitely be right up there. He came to camp for a CFL team about 30 pounds overwight, hurt his foot the first day and is still laughed at as another player who assumed because he played in the NFL that the CFL would be easy and people would bow to him...

    I'm sick of every idiot that's not from Boston thinking that Buckner was a pariah. First, he played for the Red Sox as late as 1990 and no, he wasn't booed every time he stepped onto the field. In fact he was cheered in his first appearance back in a Sox uniform, and this was obviously well before any "curse" was broken. Second, true Sox fans don't blame Buckner for Game 6. They blame that idiot John McNamara for not taking him out of the game and putting Dave Stapleton in. Blaming Buckner is as absurd as blaming Pedro Martinez for Game 7 in the 2003 ALCS when everyone except Grady Little knew he had nothing left in the tank. As a Sox fan, I would proudly wear a Buckner jersey. He gave the team several good years and he has nothing to be ashamed of. The only people who should be ashamed are the media for perpetuating the myth that Sox fans hate Buckner, and idiots like you who gobble up that tripe because it makes for funny blog posts.

    You can actually get away with wearing a Bill Buckner jersey because it can double as a Johnny Pesky #6 jersey. Buckner only played 1 year with the sox where his last name appeared on the back of his away jersey.

    quick story on randall gay and the nfl.

    one of his former teachers tried to call up NFL merch. in order to get a personalized jersey. (they do this all the time).

    the nfl does not allow anything they consider to be obscene or offensive to be printed on a personalized jersey.

    basically she was denied because she wanted "Gay" on the back of the Patriots jersey. it took many phone calls before the NFL realized they actually had a player named "Gay" and that the woman wasn't trying to be crude.

    There was a promotion in Cincinnati to get people to turn in their Chad Johnson 85 Bengals jerseys in exchange for Cyclones hockey tickets or something of that nature. Pretty successful, from what I heard.

    I have a tattered, scarlet #7 Ohio State jersey (generic, there's no name on the back) and got yelled at by some idiot at a supermarket for wearing a Michael Vick jersey. Kinda pissed me off ;)

    if you have money to waste on a jersey, go for it. just dont complain when your favorite player has some dirt kicked up from under his doormat and you look like a fool who has sent $50 to some Chinese sweatshop so that you can show everyone how passionate you are about American sports. Worth it?

    Ha... I enjoyed this. Although I can see some hipsters in Brooklyn, NY sporting a Muresan jersey because it's, um, cool and different, and Muresan was a likable guy.

    But the rest are dead-on. So funny. You'll never see someone wear an OJ jersey. I don't think the most thugged-out rapper would even try pulling it off.

      the beauty of yankees jerseys is that the official ones never have a name on the back, so anyone who had a Knoblauch #11 could have passed for a Gary Sheffield before he ran his mouth to Detroit, or just say its for Lefty Gomez, you can never go wrong.

      Think anybody who had a Jim Leyritz #13, can pass it for A-Rod

    I have an Albert Belle White Sox jersey. Although an Orioles one would be much worse.

    How about a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the runningback for the Dolphins) jersey?

    Ricky Williams. Even now. He retired at the top of his game and came back half playable. Dolphins fans must be pissssed.

    And is there anyway somebody could donate me an Aaron Rodgers jersey?

    Every time I go to a USC game I see at least three OJ/USC throwback jerseys. I guess they think it's funny but I think it's kinda sick.

    You forgot about former Cubs and Royals player Pete LaCock:

    Why is Aaron Rodgers number 3. He shouldn't even be on the list. Maybe you should put Favre on the list after his antics with the Packrs he's become the biggest prima donna in the league.

    I wear my Micheal Vick Jersey all the time! Me and My girl friend went to a wild game (the one where Gaborik scored 5 goals _AMAZING GAME_ ) I just happened to have it on. Some guy that sold the mini hockey sticks asked me if I was from Atlanta, I told him no I was just a fan. This guy got right up in my face and said "So you support dog killers!!! It was pretty funny.

    I would wear it to a PETA meeting!

    How about a Marcus Vick Dolphins jersey? Or a Maurice Clarett Broncos jersey? I know Clarett got cut in training camp, but I'm sure there's at least one of his relatives that was sporting one.

    Moss & Marinovich were both great picks for the Raiders, so I have to go ahead with Cole Ford for my Silver & Black pick. What did Siegfried and Roy ever do to him?

      Eian, I assure you that "great" was in reference to them being top picks for unwearable jerseys. The thing I can't believe is how many Moss jerseys I STILL SEE.

      The only Moss jersey I've ever seen that is worth wearing is a fan I saw at the Coliseum in 2007 that had it altered to read "No Moss" with a circle and slash crossing out the numbers.

    every jersey on the list is a must avoid, EXCEPT the muresan. cmon, he was such a character, plus its an old bullets jersey, which almost makes it desirable in itself. dont forget the great commercials gheorge made back in the day either. i vote to have his jersey removed from the list.

    Pavel Bure switched from #10 to #96 one season with the Canucks, then switched back very soon after, and then soon after demanded a trade. So the Bure 96 sucks because it's a crappy number, and brings back memories of a selfish player.

    Mark Messier's #11 Canucks jersey. His 3 years in Vancouver were awful, and they even unretired the #11 for him even though it had been retired to honor Wayne Maki who died in a car wreck.
    Not a jersey that brings back ANY good memories for Vancouver fans.

      That's because Ray Lewis never murdered anyone. His friends did and the cops knew that Ray knew it. So they forced him to testify against them or go down with them. All he was charged with was obstruction of justice. I'm not a Lewis fan or a Ravens fan but he's not a "stone colder" murderer.

      Now Leonard Little, that's another story.

    For the silver and black, I can imagine 3 Jerseys that will never be worn again...
    Randy Moss....they can't sell them in silver and black, anywhere. Even the Local shop can't move em.
    People who buy it usually remove the moss, and switch the numbers.
    Todd Marinovich. Ugh. If Stabler was the best 12 we had, Marinovich easily is the worst 12 we've had, by far.
    Lastly....for the old school....Marc Wilson. Imagine a 6-6 crane, who can't walk right, trying to be a QB.
    If they made jerseys, they're probably a collectors item.
    only problem is.....who's pay for one?

      I'd go for a Romo, the guy helped bring back that animal attitude. Granted, cracking a guy during training camp wasn't cool, but he also helped fire up the team to play and beat the Broncos.
      McCown, I don't think he stuck around long enough for a jersey....and Brooks....hmm....ya, I don't know who'd plunk down money for his jersey....any of them.

    interesting article. disagree with Buckner though - I've seen people around Fenway with Buckner jerseys - although the jersey does not have the last name, so you have to be a true fan to realize who it is, and most real Sox fans I know, forgave Buckner years ago. I don't know if someone would wear a jersey with the name Buckner on the back anywhere other than Fenway. Might not be worth it.

    You obviously haven't done all your research about the 1986 World Series. It is true that Bill Buckner let a ground ball go through his legs in the sixth game allowing Ray Night to score the winning run, forcing a game 7, which the Mets won. But poor pitching and offense were also keys in the Red Sox's lose. What about that wild pitch or was it a passed ball, they still don't know what it was and that was more damaging. Now I'm a Yankees fan, but I will stick up for Bill Buckner, Considering the fact that at the age of 40 he had the guts to go and try out with the Red Sox during spring training of 1990. Oh and have you ever heard of a certain WNBA player named Candance Parker. Her jersey gets more hype than Kobe Bryant's or Lebron James's jersey.
