THE 4 WORST NFL UNIFORMS

|

Not all uniforms are created equal. While the look of most NFL gear has ranged from “meh” to “I wanna wear that!” there have been the occasional outliers. With the next season only a few months away, let’s take a look at four of the worst fashion faux pas in NFL history.

4. Chicago Bears (~1925)

The Bears can be forgiven for this, whatever this is. It was 1925 after all. The uniform is a stark contrast to the deep blue color scheme we see today. The top half consisted of a solid light brown color with a series of dark blue vertical stripes, with the bottom half also matching the light brown color. The updated throwbacks the team has worn for special occasions is a slight improvement, but not by much.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers (1934)

Again, the time period allows us to forgive the organization for this particular fashion choice. The black and yellow color scheme is present but with their long socks and jerseys consisting of a horizontal black and yellow pattern that will have you wondering how the team didn’t end up being called the Pittsburgh Bumblebees.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Original Uniforms (1976-1996)

Looking at the current Bucs uniform, it’s hard to believe they used to walk around looking like creamsicles. This white and orange pattern went through several minor tweaks before getting a hard reset to the current style, with crimson red replacing the light orange as the dominant color. Oh man, could you imagine Tom Brady winning his eighth ring dressed like a dessert?!

1. Seattle Seahawks’ Neon Green Alternates (2009-Please Stop)

There is no excuse for this. The Bears, Steelers, and Bucs were products of their time. The original football leagues took a lot of aesthetic influence from rugby, and orange was prominent in the ’70s. The Seahawks’ neon green alternate uniforms debuted in 2009, and for some reason, they keep bringing them back every so often. The uniforms look like they should glow in the dark, which would be kind of cool. But they don’t, so they’re not.;
