Every sport has had fashion disasters when it comes to team apparel. You would think that in professional sports the jersey designs are carefully planned and designed to perfection. The truth is that once in a while a logo, color scheme, design flaw, or throwback idea goes terribly wrong and the result is a hideous but hilarious uniform. The NHL has some of the most interesting designs in the world or sports from goalie masks to sock designs. There are many classic jersey styles in the NHL that have stayed the same for years such as the Red Wings, Blackhawks, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. There are other franchises that have experimented and failed miserably with new logos. The hideous past and present of NHL jersey's has been refreshed in our minds after this past weeks display of the 1912-1913 Montreal Canadiens "Barbershop" Jerseys.
Instantly these were labeled the worst jerseys ever by many sports fans around the nation, but I beg to differ, especially once we get to the minor league jerseys. But for now, let's start off with the greatest player ever wearing this Los Angeles Kings jersey:
Is that the Burger King mascot?
Most of the hideous jerseys seem to appear from new franchises, this is definitely the case with the Mighty Ducks:
Then there's the off-color piss jersey of the Nashville Predators:
And the Carolina
Well the Hurricanes jersey isn't real but it's still funny and not unbelievable considering how bad these seriously old school Canucks jerseys are:
My personal favorite was the New York Islander jerseys that appeared to have an angry blue fireman on the front:
And then there's this travesty by the Dallas Stars, which has earned the nickname of the "Uterus Jersey" for somewhat obvious reasons.
And although these NHL jersey's are bad, they are still much more appealing than these Minor League hockey jerseys.
We have the tuxedos - worn by a minor league team during a charity game on rollerblades.
The Alaska Aces also did something similar once for New Year's. Thankfully they didn't go with white suits.
And then we have the picnic cloth look here by the Milwaukee Admirals, which is ugly as sin.
And the WTF? Is that a sheriff? Regrettably yes, courtesy of the Quad Cities Mallards.
How about a cow pattie on your jersey? The El Paso Buzzards changed their name to the Cow Patties for publicity. These jerseys were worn for a couple games, then auctioned off.

And that's not even the end of the utter humiliation for minor league players. Can you ever imagine a hockey player wearing this? (photo from Sidearm Delivery)
Yes, the Las Vegas Thunder actually
If you think that's bad, so is this one. These next two jerseys are from the Nürnberg Ice Tigers ((photo from Sidearm Delivery).
The claw is pretty awesome....but the mister lady jeans logo just absolutely kills the effect. By the way, who exactly are mister lady jeans designed for? You know what, I won't even try and answer that.
And lastly, I don't where in the hell this jersey is from, but it looks like the Seinfeld puffy shirt. God what a nightmare.
Post any you may feel are worse than these poor excuses for jerseys. Stay tuned for NFL, NBA, and MLB's ugliest jersey's soon to come.
