Take That Thing Off! Five of the Ugliest Uniforms in Pro Sports

  1. The Washington Wizards held a competition for local kindergarten students to design the uniform. Unable to identify a winner, they decided to combine everything into one awful design.
  2. It was actually an evil and elaborate scheme to disorient the opposition as the Wizards sprint up and down the court under bright lights with gold foil on their bodies.

Whatever the case may be, it's time for the fool's gold experiment to stop. Abracadabra! Make the uniforms disappear.

 

1. Minnesota Wild

What could have turned out as a cool jersey to accompany a unique name was completely obliterated when the Wild hit the ice wearing this.

Why? There's no rhyme or reason to the uniform. The logo is a jumble of cliches for the wilderness, and the color schemes are illogical.

The usage of red and green is poorly done, disallowing fans to make sense of the symbol. From a distance, it looks like just another dark and angry wolf.

Their home jerseys appear dated to about 40 years ago, a stunning feat for an organization that's only been in existence since 2000.

 

Dishonorable Mentions: Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Diamondbacks, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, and the Philadelphia Eagles' 75th anniversary jersey.

Sometimes it's best to keep it simple. The tried and true uniforms of teams like the Oakland Raiders and New York Yankees have stood the tests of time. The New York Jets tried to stray away from what worked in the 60's, only to update that uniform style 30 years later. Simplicity is key.

If you disagree, or believe another team belongs here instead, feel free to share your thoughts.
