There’s nothing more exciting than going to a great sporting event. The action. The sweat. The noise. The sunglasses. Hold on; the sunglasses? Yeah, if the players are going to be wearing such horrible sports outfits you’ll really want to protect your eyes.
San Antonio Spurs Kit Disaster
It appears that the designer of the San Antonio Spurs kit spilled some radioactive stuff on the design and then forgot about it. How else could you explain away the horrendous outfit this poor soul is wearing in the photo?
The England Rugby 7s Horror Show
If I’m not mistaken the guys at either end are thinking how lucky they are that they weren’t chosen to wear what the guy in the middle got lumbered with. Sure, their tops are bad enough but the one in the centre is one of the worst sports outfits you could imagine.
The Russia 2012 Olympics Shocker
Sports people don’t just wear horrendous clothes when they are competing. They can also look pretty damned terrible when they are just relaxing. The person who designed the Russian gear for the 2012 Olympics clearly wanted the country’s athletes to stand out from the crowd. Provided that the crowd is wearing normal clothes they definitely would.
The Stade Français Rugby Failure
Stade Français is a French rugby team with a pretty awesome reputation for churning out the worst sports outfits in the world. I think that this is their latest and possibly greatest effort to date. If you ever see a hulking great French rugby player wearing this thing then tell him I said that it sucks.
The Jorge Campos Reign of Fashion Terror
Strangely for a team event like football (or soccer, if you will) we have an individual entrant. Jorge Campos was a flamboyant Mexican goalkeeper who designed his own bright kits. Unusually, he could play as both a striker and as a goalkeeper, although his painfully bright shirts meant that his runs upfield never exactly went un-noticed.
The Hungary 2008 Olympics Disaster
This is another great example of an Olympic team bring forced to wear an outrageously bad outfit. I’m sure that if you were Hungarian and got the chance to represent the Magyars in the 2008 Olympics your patriotic pride would have outweighed your horror at the outfit. It might have been a close call, though.
The Unknown Golfer and the Hippy’s Vomited Upon Trousers
I have no idea who this golfer is and I don’t really want to know, to be honest. Anyway, one fine day this guy decided that he needed a new pair of trousers. As he rifled through the options open to him he quickly discarded most of the more traditional options as being too dull. What I need, this sartorially blessed golfing genius thought to himself, is a pair of trousers which look as though an ageing hippy just threw up on a pair of his most horrendous old trousers from the 60s. It seems that dreams can come true after all.
The Birmingham Headache Inducer
If you like your football of the soccer variety then you have seen a fair few terrible sports outfits in your time. Here is one of the classics; a headache inducing disaster worn by the boys from Birmingham.
