If that was their look anyway, then I guess so. But it's so far removed from what they actually wear. I'm perplexed as to why would you dress a basketball team to commemorate a TV show? I'm not so sure about that.
While Miami's hot pink look does kind of work for the style. And if Miami ever gets another WNBA team they should use those colors. But personally I'm so sick of anything retrowave right now due to the saturation of that style right now that it's best to keep them off the court.
@@NinhLyUK I can see you're point there, but I would say that, that neon pink & blue color scheme is quite infamous with Miami as a city itself. It's fair to say that you could consider it part of the Miami brand, and not just an iconic TV show logo. So, that alternative design, really does fit the city well. That's the one of these new alternative jerseys the NBA uses that I don't have that big an issue it for that reason. The rest of them however, I agree with you, they suck.
I don't think you understand what the earned nba Jerseys represent. NBA teams have always been experimental when it came to Jersey designs, team colour designs... The Miami Heat Jerseys are an homage to Miami vice colours, the Cavs jersey is a classic throwback, the Timberwolves one is a reference to Prince, Milwaukee is another throwback... I agree that you can dislike the Jersey due to it's design, but you can't call it bad just because you don't know the deeper meaning of it.
Well, I actually do. I'm fully aware that each jersey has some sort of meaning, Miami vice, Cleveland's colours from the 90's, Toronto's 'We The North' campaign etc. But as mentioned in the video, they're all badly designed. I stand by that.
@@NinhLyUK What do you mean by "badly designed"? What principles/standards are you using? Is it how well they convey their message, how well they identify the team, sloppy execution? "Badly designed" doesn't explain your specific problems with the jerseys, it's just a vague complaint used without explanation. How do you think they were poorly designed?

Tbh there’s a few I disagree with here. The NBA earned, and most Stade jerseys (some are a bit insane) imo look ok to even good. I’d agree that the Raptors original jerseys were actually quite nice, but the SA super rugby superhero jerseys completely miss the mark for me, with the possible exemption of the Sharks.

Yeah definitely. I've stated that on my top comment that this is largely subjective because everyone's going to disagree on one or two of them. There are some people on here that have a bug bear with that, and fail to realise that people may have different opinions to their own. Well stated though, I appreciate your comment.
Ninh Ly The original Steelers hooped jerseys would have dated back to when they didn’t wear huge plastic shoulder pads underneath the jersey, so they would have looked fine back then. However hooped jerseys worn over modern gridiron plastic armor just makes the players look like bloated bumblebees. There’s a reason why all post WWII era gridiron jerseys are all solid colors, no hoops except maybe on the sleeves.
I agree, there was nothing wrong with their classic look. I know that they tried to do a re-iteration of one of their jerseys this year, but it clearly didn't work. I heard that the league or Disney put a stop to them bringing it back, but I'm not sure that's 100% fact.
The MLB jerseys from the 1990's were the infamous "Turn Ahead The Clock" unis. They didn't go over very well. And shame on you for not mentioning the Vancouver Canucks "V" jerseys.
Yes, they did not go down well at all. But shame? There's a LOT of bad jerseys out there. The flying V jersey was bad for sure, but I'd argue that the 10 aforementioned were worse (subjectively, obviously). Thanks bro.
Whilst the Preds mustard jersey wasn't that bad in terms of colour, the second rate logos certainly didn't help. Still better than the worst 10 I mentioned though.
Lol. I actually like the bumblebee Steelers jerseys. Not to wear, just to collect because it's a throw back jersey, But I'm a Steelers fan, and I'll definitely agree, they are quite ugly. I thought they looked like convicts with numbers.
Finally, a Steelers fan who actually agree their jersey is ugly! And I completely agree that they look like convicts in that one. The color rush ones however are awesome. Thanks bro.
The color scheme probably made sense back in the b&w television days, but don't translate well today. It could be worse. I bet Collingwood (Black and White vertical stripes) v. Geelong (Blue and White horizontal stripes) in the AFL would be fun to keep track of on a b&w TV.
I'll be honest, I love the retro jerseys that teams do as long as it's only for one or two games. I think it's a great way to honor a team's history. Even if it does make the players look like a bumble bee or a barber's pole (New York Rangers).
The Sabres "Buffaslug" jersey, any neon green jersey (Seahawks, WLAF Orlando Thunder), the Eagles 30s yellow throwback, oh, and the time the Arena Football League incorporated Zubaz patterns in their uniforms in the 90s.
Oh god, I remember those '90s goalkeeper kits. And in the inaugural season of Major League Soccer, *all* the kits were '90s goalie kit caliber, except for D.C. United, who were the only team whose kits looked like the kits of a professional football club.
For number 2 i'd basically add every other single NHL alternate jerseys from the late 90's and early 2000's. There's the bull logo jersey for Dallas Stars, the Pooh bear logo for Boston Bruins, the mustard Nashville Predators jersey, oil drop Edmonton Oilers jersey, stormy sea Tampa Bay Lightning jersey, and the list goes on...
I must admit, the 90's didn't fare too well for hockey. There were quite a few bad ones, some of which you've stated. I must have brain farted when Nashville's mustard jersey didn't make the top 10.
Islanders fan here, personally I really like the new alternate jersey we wear, I actually own one and a lot of people love them. I actually own a fisherman jersey as well, and I actually kinda like them in a retro sorta way. By far the worst jerseys we ever had were the black and gray ones, and the black Brooklyn Nets inspired jerseys.
I got panned for saying that, but real fans like yourself agree that the silver/black thing and the Brooklyn Nets inspired jerseys were terrible. Statistically and from a fan point of view - just terrible. Thanks bro.
The worst jersey combination ever was on Nov. 12, 2015. The Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets played in their "color rush" uniforms with the Bills in all red (with white helmets) and the Jets in all green (with white helmets). The game was unwatchable for anyone with red/green colorblindness, due to the particular shades of red and green being seen as the the same tint by those viewers. Honorable mention: the Dec. 17, 2015 game between the St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was another color rush game...only it looked like bottles of mustard playing bottles of ketchup.
I'm glad the NFL ditched the color rush thing. The beauty of most uniforms is how the team's colors all interact with each other. Color rush games looked like Atari 2600 sprites.
I like the Islanders' fisherman jerseys as well! We're one of the few and when you put the team on the list, I thought for sure you would mention them. Worst NFL jerseys are the Denver Broncos Yellow and Brown ones IMO.
What made those Yellow and Brown uni's even worse were those vertical striped socks! A Bronco GM of the 1960's said in an NFL film that when he became GM the team put all but a few of those vertical striped socks in a bonfire.
It certainly appears that way?! I understand that if you talk about subjective things, you're always going to get a ton of people that will vehemently disagree with you. It's just the nature of UA-cam these days.
It was their 'unlucky' grey shirt in the mid 90's - they hadn't won many games wearing it. The actual reason was that they couldn't see each other on the pitch, so Sir Alex made them change to a white kit at half time.
I think the 90s may have the first time goalies could wear anything that wasn't just green (other colours were pretty rare). Anything made by Ribero for the early 90s in English Football deserves an honorable mention. Burnley, Coventry and Norwich had... 'Interesting' kits.
#6 was a promo for "what baseball uniforms will look like 50 years in the future" or something along those lines. None of the jerseys you showed were worn more than once or twice
Those 90's MLB jerseys were from a failed promotion called Turn Ahead the Clock, where they tried to imagine what uniforms would look like in the future (and also moved the Mets to Mercury). As you can see it did not go well and the MLB stuck to the Turn Back the Clock games where teams wore vintage uniforms.
Yeah, those rainbow Astros jerseys can make your eyes bleed. It's fun to watch for one game, but I can't imagine watching that for a whole season. Luckily HD wasn't around in the 70's.
Man, I knew about Palencia's but damn, I didnt expect you to! The idea behind the jersey was that they leave their skin on the field when they play (they play really hard)
The Calgary Flames debuted a jersey at the 1998 NHL Amateur Draft that showed a snorting horse in place of the usual flaming "C". It was awful and enough fans complained that the horse was removed from the front and became shoulder patches instead. One of those soccer goalies looked really familiar...Is it possible that Lionel Richie played in the BPL? Thanks again Ninh as always from John in......Calgary!!
I actually liked the 'Blasty the Horse' jersey. I had one at one point. Lionel Ritchie never played football - I think you're referring to the one they call 'el loco' - René Higuita. He was a legend! Thanks John!
In fairness to those 90s baseball jerseys, they were not the regular jerseys for any of the teams, but were worn for a one-day promotional event called "turn ahead the clock night." They were supposed to be "futuristic" uniforms. You're right to say they were all terrible, but they were not worn more than once. It started as a special promotional event in 1998 for the Seattle Mariners and their opponent that night, the Kansas City Royals. Then the following year, MLB had every team do it for one night. A few of them looked OK, the rest were awful. That promotion never happened again. In general, the 90s were a pretty good decade for baseball uniform design, with a return to the traditional button-up style of jerseys after the 70s and 80s-era pullovers and double-knits. That promotion was the big exception.
Honorable mention goes to cricket ODI uniforms in the 1990's (and especially 1995), the Freemantle Dockers uniform in 1995 (and probably others around that time, I just used 1995 as an example looking for crap uniforms), and probably just everything in the 90's in general.
Disagree with a lot of these takes, but I just want to add a bit. 1) The Earned jerseys are all homages to the past or the city or something. If you read up, they all mean something that I fell connects very well with each of the cities. They aren't just some cobbled together mess. 2) Those MLB jerseys you showed were basically SUPPOSED to look ridiculous. They were all from a promotion that was a throwforward instead of a throwback. They were intentionally ridiculously "futuristic" (or retro-futuristic, to us anyways) as a couple game pronation, hence why they are so radically different (hell, the Mariners whole color scheme was different, which I think is pretty funny given their colors are literally oceans colors. What else would the "Mariners" be?) So, yeah, they suck. But that was the idea.
Thank you for your comments. To answer your points ... - You're entitled to your opinion of course, but as mentioned in my top comment - I'm entitled to mine. I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but this is a largely subjective video. - I am fully aware of the meaning behind the city jerseys. My qualm is that the links are tenuous and it's merely a marketing ploy/excuse to peddle more jerseys. Miami's jerseys were based from 'Miami Vice', but what's a TV show have to do with basketball? Minnesota's jerseys are inspired by Prince. What's Prince got to do with basketball? If you still think that this is to reflect the culture of these respective cities, you might as well put Donald Trump on the front of Knicks jerseys. Besides, no team needs 6 jerseys per season - do they? - I don't think the MLB jerseys were 'supposed' to look ridiculous. I believe that they were testing the market for an overhaul of the look of baseball jerseys. This isn't the first time a sport has done this (see hockey). The fact that the fans hated them, meant that these jerseys never saw light of day again. And for good reason.
In the defence of SF Paris, Pink is a very noble colour in some places and pink being referred as a "Girl's colour" it takes special bravery to wear pink and make pink look badass rather than players soft. Remember Bret Hart anyone?
You have a horrible taste in jersey designs and the Miami Heat jerseys were fab favorites so they even replicated them the next year with slight changes
The worst jersey ever belongs to Colorado Caribous in the 1970s. They had a jersey in witch there were tassels on the jersey. What were they thinking?!
In Aussie rules football the worst guernsey (jersey) of all time was worn by the Brisbane Bears (1987 - 1991). www.lions.com.au/staticfile/AFL%20Tenant/BrisbaneLions/Images/Web8.png
@@NinhLyUK yeash! How did I miss that. Plaid diamond patterns should never be worn unless reclining in a Chesterfield, smoking cigars and drinking cognac.
Dallas Stars "Mooterus" jerseys. Also their basketball style jerseys that just said "DALLAS across the front above the player's number. That's not how hockey jerseys work (see also: The Isles jerseys referenced in the video for being the wrong color)
The Mooterus one wasn't bad if they didn't add bright red to it. And the college style 'DALLAS' jersey - I hated that thing straight off the bat, but people liked it.
SF Paris Jerseys look kinda dope it just so fcking out of place (not to mention the different designs kinda look similar which makes them look like they're not creative)
Those XFL jerseys were actually pretty sweet. I had a Demons jersey and a Rage one at one point, and I just sold an Enforcers jersey on eBay. The Maxiaz one was trash, but as a whole they weren't too bad. Thanks bro, much appreciated.
With the NBA jerseys, in the beginning of the season, each team was given a “city edition” jersey. Two teams would play and the winner of that game would gain a “reward” Jersey, given the fact that each team doesn’t have one.
Ninh Ly Fair point. I know that Port Adelaide has had a few, and North Melbourne (who are white with vertical blue stripes) went orange at one point. Most of the time though the horrid jerseys are made for special events like charity matches or “clashes”, so they differ from a lot of those suggested in the video in that the bad jerseys were substitutes rather than replacements. It’s an interesting topic though. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Yeah some of the special jerseys or 'clash' jerseys tend to be completely off the wall. PA Power also have some bad ones I completely forgot about those?!
Most of the French rugby Union club jerseys are like Stade Francaise. Full with sponsor names. It becomes hard decipher which is the actual logo of the team
#4 - TRIGGERED!!!!! I cannot accept this. Those things are both hideous and handsome. That white and pink kit @ 4:23 isn't terrible at all, IMO. And they had some of the prettiest one off art jumpers during the mid to late 2000's. Objection. Stade is horrible but awesome at it.
Yeah, I love the Raps one. But the earned jerseys in my opinion are poorly designed and the links as to why they designed them that way are tenuous at best ... again, in my opinion.
I've always hated the visiting kit of the Boston Red Sox. Traditionally, the visiting team usually wears gray versions of their team uniforms and the city name instead of their mascot name. Boston, however, wears their regular socks and caps, but a straight gray uniform with no markings at all, and just plain block print "BOSTON" across their chests. They look more like a prison baseball team than MBL team.
They may be a little boring, but certainly not bad compared to some of the other ones out there. If you understand the historical meaning, it's passable.
The Dallas Stars briefly had a jersey with a constellation in the shape of bull's head. However, fans quickly noticed the logo looked like a uterus. The uterus jersey definitely deserves a mention.
I was so happy when the Wizards brought the red, white, and blue jerseys back and then, and then, they sold 'em with the old name on the front!! #Winning #GimmeBackMyBullets
So the takeaways here were: 90s designers sucked when it came to jersey designs, and if you haven’t made the NBA playoffs, then you would be able to skip the god awful earned jersey thing.. seems like those were the main points in a nutshell.. lol!
I would have placed the Colombian women's cycling kit in the no. 1 spot on this list, but that's just my opinion. As a (dis)honorable mention, allow me to present the original 1960 kit of the American Football League's Denver Broncos (later to join the NFL in the merger). Not the familiar blue and orange of today, but yellow and brown. And, as the finishing touch, stockings with vertical stripes in the aforementioned colors. Vertical. Stripes. When the Broncos wore these uniforms as part of a "throwback uniform" game, most players had twisted the socks for a "vortex" effect, which actually looked pretty cool. Unfortunately, the only cool part of the whole thing, but one takes what one can get. :D
Original Raptors jerseys we're soooo bad, yet they defined the culture of Basketball in Canada (and I loved them). Would 110% go back to these than what they wear now, and would be the first actual BBall shirt I buy (hell, I might actually do it for real today lol) But I'm a 90's kid so I might be biaised lol
Those baseball jerseys were part of a promotion called turn ahead the clock night, where they imagined what jerseys would look like in 2048. In other words, they were made to look stupid on purpose.
I don't think they were made stupid on purpose, I think it was more of a market test to see what the reception would be like if jerseys actually looked like that. Obviously they were panned universally so teams didn't make the jump.
How about every single fluerocent jersey of teams sponsored by nike? Or really any football trend made by nike wich is replicated identically between all the teams because they lack any imagination? Although adidas has been doing pretty bad last 4 years as well
Those 90s MLB Jerseys are just the future jerseys teams wore in 1999. Fun concept, but it shows how badly these have aged and how unlikely it is to see them in 2027.
While I do think the 90s MLB jerseys are bad, I do like how they stand out. The reason I like them is because almost all of the current team uniforms look the same and look very bland.
That hideous, hideous, HIDEOUS Man U 4th kit at No 1 (deservedly so sir!!) reminds me somewhat of the home kit that Hull City wore in the 1990's. And that kit made Coventry City's chocolate brown kit of the late 1970's look tasteful (it does, by the way, because I'm a Cov City fan and I can think of many more that are even worse)
You have to wonder ... is it so bad that it's actually good? Nah it's still terrible. I don't remember the CC kits from the 1970's. Can't have been a good look for a team that plays in sky blue.
Even though 90s goalie kits look stupid sometimes. I like them because they all look creative
That's certainly a word to describe them!
Wycombe did one recently that was mental
Love them.
Thee 1994 World Cup shirts where great
The neon Miami jerseys looked cool in a retrowave style. At least in the advert for the jersey

The Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets played in their "color rush" uniforms with the Bills in all red (with white helmets) and the Jets in all green (with white helmets). The game was unwatchable for anyone with red/green colorblindness, due to the particular shades of red and green being seen as the the same tint by those viewers.
Honorable mention: the Dec. 17, 2015 game between the St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was another color rush game...only it looked like bottles of mustard playing bottles of ketchup.
Mmmmm. mustard and ketchup!
But yeah, the NFL didn't think that one through.
I'm glad the NFL ditched the color rush thing. The beauty of most uniforms is how the team's colors all interact with each other. Color rush games looked like Atari 2600 sprites.
There are so many bad designs....part 2 & 3, please?!
If I get enough demand, for sure.
I like the Islanders' fisherman jerseys as well! We're one of the few and when you put the team on the list, I thought for sure you would mention them. Worst NFL jerseys are the Denver Broncos Yellow and Brown ones IMO.
The yellow and brown Broncos jerseys are pretty terrible, but there are far worse out there.
But bring back the fisherman!
What made those Yellow and Brown uni's even worse were those vertical striped socks! A Bronco GM of the 1960's said in an NFL film that when he became GM the team put all but a few of those vertical striped socks in a bonfire.
You're the absolute king of making perfectly reasonable statements and getting tons of dislikes because of them
It certainly appears that way?!
I understand that if you talk about subjective things, you're always going to get a ton of people that will vehemently disagree with you. It's just the nature of UA-cam these days.
Wasn't it Man U who had a kit that was so bad that they had to change at half time because it was too similar to their opponents?
It was their 'unlucky' grey shirt in the mid 90's - they hadn't won many games wearing it. The actual reason was that they couldn't see each other on the pitch, so Sir Alex made them change to a white kit at half time.
90’s Soccer goalies: we have wild kits. 90’s Hockey goalies: hold my beer, eh.
I still think 90's soccer goalies has wilder kits.
I would've been disappointed if the trumpet jerseys were not on here. My wife actually likes those abominations.
Well, if she has an original one - it's worth some serious dollars!
I think the 90s may have the first time goalies could wear anything that wasn't just green (other colours were pretty rare). Anything made by Ribero for the early 90s in English Football deserves an honorable mention. Burnley, Coventry and Norwich had... 'Interesting' kits.
Yeah, those ones were definitely 'interesting'.
1:17 JORGE CAMPOS!
Yep.
#6 was a promo for "what baseball uniforms will look like 50 years in the future" or something along those lines. None of the jerseys you showed were worn more than once or twice
Yes it was. And they were still terrible.
Those 90's MLB jerseys were from a failed promotion called Turn Ahead the Clock, where they tried to imagine what uniforms would look like in the future (and also moved the Mets to Mercury). As you can see it did not go well and the MLB stuck to the Turn Back the Clock games where teams wore vintage uniforms.
Apparently so, yeah. Although I question some teams' usage of the retro jerseys ... namely Houston.
Yeah, those rainbow Astros jerseys can make your eyes bleed. It's fun to watch for one game, but I can't imagine watching that for a whole season. Luckily HD wasn't around in the 70's.
I think they brought them back recently. I really hate those things!
Man, I knew about Palencia's but damn, I didnt expect you to!
The idea behind the jersey was that they leave their skin on the field when they play (they play really hard)
Interesting concept in theory. Looks wise, straight out of a horror movie!
Can u do a video on wrestling like school wrestling not wwe
You mean this one? ua-cam.com/video/OwUEPby3Bko/v-deo.html
Ninh Ly my bad didn’t see that
The Miami Vice jerseys is one of the most loved jerseys in the NBA.
Collingwood Magpies / Hawthorn Hawks 1995 pre-season jerseys are sights to behold
I like the 90s MLB jerseys with the logos. I’m not American but they seem really iconic.
I think they were a one day promotion, but they never caught on.
I see them in movies a lot
Keep up the videos. I learned a lot with this one!
Thanks man, will do.
The Calgary Flames debuted a jersey at the 1998 NHL Amateur Draft that showed a snorting horse in place of the usual flaming "C". It was awful and enough fans complained that the horse was removed from the front and became shoulder patches instead. One of those soccer goalies looked really familiar...Is it possible that Lionel Richie played in the BPL? Thanks again Ninh as always from John in......Calgary!!
I actually liked the 'Blasty the Horse' jersey. I had one at one point.
Lionel Ritchie never played football - I think you're referring to the one they call 'el loco' - René Higuita. He was a legend!
Thanks John!
Big disagree on the Miami vice and the pink lightning bolt team, the vapor wave aesthetic is cool af.
Each to their own I guess.
But what does an 80's TV show have to do with basketball?
The answer: nothing.
What about the Miami dolphins orange jerseys those things burn my eyes
It's a little bad, but I don't think it's as bad as some of the others?
In fairness to those 90s baseball jerseys, they were not the regular jerseys for any of the teams, but were worn for a one-day promotional event called "turn ahead the clock night." They were supposed to be "futuristic" uniforms. You're right to say they were all terrible, but they were not worn more than once. It started as a special promotional event in 1998 for the Seattle Mariners and their opponent that night, the Kansas City Royals. Then the following year, MLB had every team do it for one night. A few of them looked OK, the rest were awful. That promotion never happened again. In general, the 90s were a pretty good decade for baseball uniform design, with a return to the traditional button-up style of jerseys after the 70s and 80s-era pullovers and double-knits. That promotion was the big exception.
Apparently so, yeah. I think if they took off in popularity, they would have worn it more than one time.
Honorable mention goes to cricket ODI uniforms in the 1990's (and especially 1995), the Freemantle Dockers uniform in 1995 (and probably others around that time, I just used 1995 as an example looking for crap uniforms), and probably just everything in the 90's in general.
You bring up the brooklyn jerseys, but not the fisherman in an ugly Jersey video? Never thought I'd see the day.
As mentioned at the end of the video ... quite like the fisherman jersey.
@@NinhLyUK omg I didn't even notice lol I feel like an idiot now
No worries bro. I grew up in an era where they wore those, so to me it was perfectly normal to see them play in 'fish sticks'.
Disagree with a lot of these takes, but I just want to add a bit. 1) The Earned jerseys are all homages to the past or the city or something. If you read up, they all mean something that I fell connects very well with each of the cities. They aren't just some cobbled together mess. 2) Those MLB jerseys you showed were basically SUPPOSED to look ridiculous. They were all from a promotion that was a throwforward instead of a throwback. They were intentionally ridiculously "futuristic" (or retro-futuristic, to us anyways) as a couple game pronation, hence why they are so radically different (hell, the Mariners whole color scheme was different, which I think is pretty funny given their colors are literally oceans colors. What else would the "Mariners" be?) So, yeah, they suck. But that was the idea.
Thank you for your comments. To answer your points ...
- You're entitled to your opinion of course, but as mentioned in my top comment - I'm entitled to mine. I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but this is a largely subjective video.
- I am fully aware of the meaning behind the city jerseys. My qualm is that the links are tenuous and it's merely a marketing ploy/excuse to peddle more jerseys. Miami's jerseys were based from 'Miami Vice', but what's a TV show have to do with basketball? Minnesota's jerseys are inspired by Prince. What's Prince got to do with basketball? If you still think that this is to reflect the culture of these respective cities, you might as well put Donald Trump on the front of Knicks jerseys. Besides, no team needs 6 jerseys per season - do they?
- I don't think the MLB jerseys were 'supposed' to look ridiculous. I believe that they were testing the market for an overhaul of the look of baseball jerseys. This isn't the first time a sport has done this (see hockey). The fact that the fans hated them, meant that these jerseys never saw light of day again. And for good reason.
Found an interesting sport for you to explain, the Dutch sport of Fierljeppen (canal jumping)
I have actually seen that, but didn't know it had an actual name. I'll make it if there's enough demand, for sure.
Lol the cartoon raptor had always been one of my favorites.
Same
In the defence of SF Paris, Pink is a very noble colour in some places and pink being referred as a "Girl's colour" it takes special bravery to wear pink and make pink look badass rather than players soft. Remember Bret Hart anyone?
The Chicago white Sox wore Bermuda shorts for one game in the 19702
Yeah, I remember those. Those shorts were bad!
You have a horrible taste in jersey designs and the Miami Heat jerseys were fab favorites so they even replicated them the next year with slight changes
Nope. Because why would you dress your basketball team in the style of a 1980's TV show ... which had nothing to do with Basketball?
The worst jersey ever belongs to Colorado Caribous in the 1970s. They had a jersey in witch there were tassels on the jersey. What were they thinking?!
I saw that one, but I wasn't sure if it was fact or not.
@@NinhLyUK I think there are photos of games where they played with that. Although I could be wrong.
Eetu Heikurinen They played the entire season in them although they shortened the fringe some as it got in the way.
In Aussie rules football the worst guernsey (jersey) of all time was worn by the Brisbane Bears (1987 - 1991).
www.lions.com.au/staticfile/AFL%20Tenant/BrisbaneLions/Images/Web8.png
I think the Hawthorn 'Diamonds' Guernsey was worse?
@@NinhLyUK yeash! How did I miss that. Plaid diamond patterns should never be worn unless reclining in a Chesterfield, smoking cigars and drinking cognac.
@@philipandrew1626 Pretty much, yeah!
I was very disappointed to not see the Vancouver Canucks Flying V Jersey. That is the worst of all time.
That was bad for sure. i didn't want to put too many hockey jerseys in there though.
True.
Dallas Stars "Mooterus" jerseys. Also their basketball style jerseys that just said "DALLAS across the front above the player's number. That's not how hockey jerseys work (see also: The Isles jerseys referenced in the video for being the wrong color)
The Mooterus one wasn't bad if they didn't add bright red to it.
And the college style 'DALLAS' jersey - I hated that thing straight off the bat, but people liked it.
Colombian ladies cycling team? Are you sure it wasn't the Brazillian team?😄
No, they were definitely Colombian. If they were Brazilian ladies, they'd be mostly naked.
'90s era rocks!
The Colombian women cycle jersey look like they were wearing maxi pads underneath.
SF Paris Jerseys look kinda dope it just so fcking out of place (not to mention the different designs kinda look similar which makes them look like they're not creative)
You didn't mentioned the XFL jerseys back than or the UFL. As always great video and content!
Those XFL jerseys were actually pretty sweet. I had a Demons jersey and a Rage one at one point, and I just sold an Enforcers jersey on eBay. The Maxiaz one was trash, but as a whole they weren't too bad.
Thanks bro, much appreciated.
With the NBA jerseys, in the beginning of the season, each team was given a “city edition” jersey. Two teams would play and the winner of that game would gain a “reward” Jersey, given the fact that each team doesn’t have one.
So that brings the total number of jerseys that a team can have to ... 6, 7, 8 or jerseys? Ridiculous.
Carlton FC’s Yellow Jersey.
They’re called the fucking navy blues
Carlton does what Carlton does.
Those superhero themed Rugby jerseys are the worst for me.
Some of them aren't too bad. Some of them are just terrible.
You could have mentioned some AFL jerseys. There’ve been some shockers over the years.
The only one that comes to mind is Hawthorn's diamond shaped guernseys. Those were terrible.
Ninh Ly Fair point. I know that Port Adelaide has had a few, and North Melbourne (who are white with vertical blue stripes) went orange at one point. Most of the time though the horrid jerseys are made for special events like charity matches or “clashes”, so they differ from a lot of those suggested in the video in that the bad jerseys were substitutes rather than replacements.
It’s an interesting topic though. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Yeah some of the special jerseys or 'clash' jerseys tend to be completely off the wall. PA Power also have some bad ones I completely forgot about those?!
Islanders' Fishsticks were so bad they were awesome.
True dat.
Most of the French rugby Union club jerseys are like Stade Francaise. Full with sponsor names. It becomes hard decipher which is the actual logo of the team
They're not as loud as those though.
the raptors purple jersey was awsome
That we can agree on.
#4 - TRIGGERED!!!!! I cannot accept this. Those things are both hideous and handsome. That white and pink kit @ 4:23 isn't terrible at all, IMO. And they had some of the prettiest one off art jumpers during the mid to late 2000's. Objection. Stade is horrible but awesome at it.
The raptors one is legendary and also most of the earned jerseys are good
Yeah, I love the Raps one. But the earned jerseys in my opinion are poorly designed and the links as to why they designed them that way are tenuous at best ... again, in my opinion.
The the Islanders worst jersey was the Gordon's Fishman. That was bad even for the 90s and counting the Canucks V jersey.
Liverpool green and white Bristol Rovers inspired abomination needs to be on this list
Liverpool has made some nasty kits over the years. But next seasons' upcoming ones are sweet.
One video doesn't do justice to how many bad jerseys are out there considering how many sports teams there are.
Completely agree. There are some complete howlers out there.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers alarm clock jerseys do you think Creamsicle is bad
The jersey isn't that bad, it's just the numbers that suck.
But the creamsicle ones ... they definitely are bad.
I've always hated the visiting kit of the Boston Red Sox. Traditionally, the visiting team usually wears gray versions of their team uniforms and the city name instead of their mascot name. Boston, however, wears their regular socks and caps, but a straight gray uniform with no markings at all, and just plain block print "BOSTON" across their chests. They look more like a prison baseball team than MBL team.
They may be a little boring, but certainly not bad compared to some of the other ones out there.
If you understand the historical meaning, it's passable.
The Norwich City birdpoo kit 1992-94. Or the Hull City tiger stripe one. There've been some awful football kits.
Yes, both of those were terrible!
You forgot about the white Sox jerseys where they're wearing shorts
Ah, but that's shorts - not jerseys.
I' m from the NW..wow I can't get over that almost leopard print kit f or Manchester United..it looks like it comes from Primark on a bad day !.😂
The Dallas Stars briefly had a jersey with a constellation in the shape of bull's head. However, fans quickly noticed the logo looked like a uterus. The uterus jersey definitely deserves a mention.
I was so happy when the Wizards brought the red, white, and blue jerseys back and then, and then, they sold 'em with the old name on the front!!
#Winning #GimmeBackMyBullets
I was happier with the BULLETS name. That was cool.
So the takeaways here were: 90s designers sucked when it came to jersey designs, and if you haven’t made the NBA playoffs, then you would be able to skip the god awful earned jersey thing.. seems like those were the main points in a nutshell.. lol!
Correct on both points!
Check out the Vancouver Canucks Flying V jerseys from the 1980's.
It should be on this list.
Thank you for posting this.
Yes, they were terrible.
Seattle Seahawks lime green uniform is an eyesore. Vancouver Canucks early 80's jersey was hideous
The Canucks one definitely sucked. The flying V works for Rugby League, but not hockey.
What about the Colorado Caribous, a one-season wonder of the NASL? Their kits were totally crazy.
Oh yeah, those were strange. The tassels were weird.
Ninh Ly Fringe, not tassles! Like what American frontiersmen and trappers would wear in the mid-1800’s.
The Miami jerseys are sick. So are the Wolves’ prince jerseys
Each to their own I guess?
What about the Caribous of Colorado kit in their only season in the late 70s. TASSELS AND FOOTBALL JERSEYS DO NOT MIX!!!
Yes, the tassels jersey sucked!
Conor Hartwell Fringe, not tassels, it was a frontiersmen thing but yes it did not belong on a football kit.
I would have placed the Colombian women's cycling kit in the no. 1 spot on this list, but that's just my opinion. As a (dis)honorable mention, allow me to present the original 1960 kit of the American Football League's Denver Broncos (later to join the NFL in the merger). Not the familiar blue and orange of today, but yellow and brown. And, as the finishing touch, stockings with vertical stripes in the aforementioned colors. Vertical. Stripes. When the Broncos wore these uniforms as part of a "throwback uniform" game, most players had twisted the socks for a "vortex" effect, which actually looked pretty cool. Unfortunately, the only cool part of the whole thing, but one takes what one can get. :D
Can we admire that 3 of them where nhl jersey’s
Exactly!
Original Raptors jerseys we're soooo bad, yet they defined the culture of Basketball in Canada (and I loved them). Would 110% go back to these than what they wear now, and would be the first actual BBall shirt I buy (hell, I might actually do it for real today lol) But I'm a 90's kid so I might be biaised lol
Nah, those were awesome. My first NBA jersey was a Damon Stoudemire Raptors jersey in purple. Would love to get that thing back.
Those baseball jerseys were part of a promotion called turn ahead the clock night, where they imagined what jerseys would look like in 2048. In other words, they were made to look stupid on purpose.
I don't think they were made stupid on purpose, I think it was more of a market test to see what the reception would be like if jerseys actually looked like that. Obviously they were panned universally so teams didn't make the jump.
How about every single fluerocent jersey of teams sponsored by nike?
Or really any football trend made by nike wich is replicated identically between all the teams because they lack any imagination?
Although adidas has been doing pretty bad last 4 years as well
I think both companies are guilty of making 'cookie cutter' jerseys, i.e. one jersey that they just plaster different logos on.
Those 90s MLB Jerseys are just the future jerseys teams wore in 1999. Fun concept, but it shows how badly these have aged and how unlikely it is to see them in 2027.
Yes exactly! Some people on here have a bug bear about that, but I agree with you.
no list like this is complete without the Colorado Caribou, the team with buckskin fringe on its jerseys.
I saw that one, but I wasn't sure if it was fact or not.
While I do think the 90s MLB jerseys are bad, I do like how they stand out. The reason I like them is because almost all of the current team uniforms look the same and look very bland.
I suppose you're right. I think they were just a little too ahead of their time.
Bland and boring uniforms? It wouldn't be baseball without them! :P
Honestly it just sounds like you don't like when colors change
I got no problem with teams changing colours. I do have a problem with badly designed crap.
I'd say for the islanders the infamous fisherman jersey is probably worse. but that first is also quite atrocious
Not gonna lie, i liked the white heat jersey with pink and green logo/trim
Each to their own I guess.
That hideous, hideous, HIDEOUS Man U 4th kit at No 1 (deservedly so sir!!) reminds me somewhat of the home kit that Hull City wore in the 1990's. And that kit made Coventry City's chocolate brown kit of the late 1970's look tasteful (it does, by the way, because I'm a Cov City fan and I can think of many more that are even worse)
You have to wonder ... is it so bad that it's actually good?
Nah it's still terrible.
I don't remember the CC kits from the 1970's. Can't have been a good look for a team that plays in sky blue.
As a man from Pittsburgh, I got a laugh out of the Steelers inclusion!
Good for you man, at least someone has a sense of humour!
I went to art school and can confirm that the Islanders "Fisherman" logo is pure gold.
As a graphic designer, I totally agree! Bring back the fisherman!
What about Cameroon with their sleeveless jerseys in 2002 world cup
I don't mind sleeveless soccer jerseys ... at least it was a decent design and colour. Albeit sleeveless.
the 90s baseball jerseys are fire
Each to their own I guess.
