Poll question: What is the ugliest team uniform ever?
I mean people get paid good money to design these hideous things. Please feel free to add your nominations.

1. Original Denver Broncos uniforms
Ugh-oh-rama! Mere words cannot do those eyesores justice, but I can't seem to find a site on the Internet that pictures them. Probably just as well . . .

3. Canucks 'V' uniforms, hands down
When they were introduced, people everywhere - hockey fans, sports observers, and folks who simply spotted them on the evening news highlights - were unanimously repulsed. From coast to coast, everyone who laid eyes on them had but one question: "What were they thinking?!"
My favorite runnerup: on Ebay I once saw a hockey jersey that featured the acronym NASA positioned within (I kid you not) a big flaming fireball. Did NASA ever have a hockey team? What a choice of symbols... to top it off, the jersey was a dayglo pink/orange color. You had to see it to believe it. As I recall, it went unsold...

4. The Edmonton girl's hockey team ca. 1916

Does anyone have a picture of these Vancouver "V" jerseys? Sounds repulsive, but I have no idea what they look like. I find many of the ugly "C" design with the dolphin or orca or whatever the hell it's supposed to be on it, but nothing with a V.

17. Swastikas were very popular before the Nazis - it was a good
luck charm sign. It's Hindu.

Hitler really killed their use in perpetuity now, but in 1916, it WAS perfectly acceptable, since it wasn't associated with evil at all.

32. I used to live in a house with Swastika tiles ca. 1920
The last guy who lived in it was an ex-RAF pilot, and I met the son of the guy who built it, who fought in the war as well with the US Army.

I figured if it didn't bother them, it shouldn't bother me.

I like the design, but the colors just scream out something that they would have worn on Eight is Enough or Starsky and Hutch.

Brown and Orange do not go together, people. It's really that simple.

Black and Orange, on the other hand, are just fine.

45. Arizona Diamondbacks.
How MLB allowed that to pass muster is beyond me. I've yet to find a minor league uniform that is worse. It's amazing in its symbolism, though. The Valley is famous for poor design, from just about every way one can use the term.

Are they hockey players or construction workers?

Tampa Bay's old orange unis were mild compared to the Isle's DAY FREAKING GLO orange.
