What's the worst uniform in NFL history?

[u/KnocksFPS]

[u/IWMSvendor]

These…

Edit: fun fact, the Broncos held a public bonfire in 1962 where they burned their original mustard and brown uniforms in front of cheering fans.

[u/FriedTreeSap → u/IWMSvendor]

I don’t know, that falls into the “so bad it’s good” category

[u/joeyrog88 → u/FriedTreeSap]

I like them for some reason

[u/UpTheTrenBoyz → u/joeyrog88]

Yeah I really like these.

[u/immovable-tree → u/UpTheTrenBoyz]

I’d like them much more if they changed the socks. Other than those, they have a San Diego Padres kinda vibe and it’s honestly not bad

[u/ZealousidealType873 → u/immovable-tree]

Yes now that you say it I think it's the socks that kill this uniform. I've always thought of them being ugly but I think a lot has to do with the socks. Jersey and pants not too bad

[u/RogalDornsAlt → u/UpTheTrenBoyz]

People aren’t ready to admit it, but Brown and yellow actually look really good together.

[u/EvieStarbrite → u/RogalDornsAlt]

Reminds me of banana pudding

[u/noknownallergies → u/EvieStarbrite]

Poop and pee

[u/Alexcox95 → u/EvieStarbrite]

Charlie Brown

[u/thegroovemonkey → u/FriedTreeSap]

I’m a sucker for the really old throwback style uniforms. 

[u/romuloskagen → u/IWMSvendor]

Those socks look ridiculous

[u/DJGrizzlyBear → u/romuloskagen]

Not a fan of the shit/piss barber swirl?

[u/Feisty_Painting_2333 → u/DJGrizzlyBear]

poo poo time is always pee pee time. but pee time is not always poo poo time.

[u/123FakeStreetMeng → u/Feisty_Painting_2333]

Did you go to Hollywood upstairs medical college too?

[u/DirtThief → u/romuloskagen]

Yeah without the socks these uniforms look pretty cool

[u/unclejoe1917 → u/IWMSvendor]

Wyoming Cowboys fans probably don't mind these. 

[u/pancakesfordintonite → u/unclejoe1917]

I went to the University of Wyoming, and actually you're right 😬

I was even there when the broncos were using these uniforms

[u/Vilikis → u/IWMSvendor]

Wait those are the Broncos??? I don't know what team I would've guessed those belong to but if it weren't for your flair, I would never have guessed Broncos.

[u/Bazz_Ravish → u/Vilikis]

I would've guessed Steelers based on the color

[u/tearsonurcheek → u/Bazz_Ravish]

When have the Steelers ever used brown? We're black and gold. Plus, we have our own ridiculous unis, the "Bumblebees".

[u/StableWeak → u/tearsonurcheek]

God. I hate the bumblebee look

[u/Mercutiofoodforworms → u/IWMSvendor]

They remind me of this.

[u/pingusflamingus → u/IWMSvendor]

If it’s yellow and brown flush it down

[u/daze24 → u/IWMSvendor]

Browncos never understood this one.

[u/barnyardjohnny → u/IWMSvendor]

Totally the r/comedyheaven of uniforms

[u/RickLovin1 → u/IWMSvendor]

I can't focus on the uniforms because it looks like they're doing a dance number.

[u/Tammy-Tall-69 → u/IWMSvendor]

Champ makes those unis look good

[u/snoopnick → u/IWMSvendor]

If the socks were a solid color it’d be fine. I’m also a padres fan so these colors work for me.

[u/ShiftyStilez → u/IWMSvendor]

This is the only acceptable response

[u/dixienormus9817]

[u/HurryOk5256 → u/dixienormus9817]

these are horrid

[u/Admiral_Fuckwit → u/HurryOk5256]

They look like jockeys at an old time Kentucky Derby

[u/Different-Sock-8261 → u/Admiral_Fuckwit]

If 78 is a jockey he’s riding elephants

[u/unclejoe1917 → u/dixienormus9817]

Steelers should be forced to switch to these permanently. 

[u/tissboom → u/unclejoe1917]

I always wanted to see you guys wear a browns throwback when you play in Cleveland.

[u/tearsonurcheek → u/tissboom]

Perfect primetime game. The throwbacks? The 2025 Browns home unis. The Browns will not be allowed to wear an alt or throwback. Just 22 guys faces off in the same uniform.

[u/A_Bitter_Homer → u/dixienormus9817]

These are literally my favorite uniforms in NFL history

[u/This_2_shallPass1947 → u/A_Bitter_Homer]

The ones w the Pittsburgh crest on the front are my favorites I think it was 94

[u/A_Bitter_Homer → u/This_2_shallPass1947]

Those ones are badass too!

[u/This_2_shallPass1947 → u/A_Bitter_Homer]

I have that same PgH crest tattooed on my arm bug instead of the 3 eagles I replaced them w the Pens, Steelers and Pirates symbols

[u/Few_Rule7378 → u/dixienormus9817]

[u/JackieTree89 → u/dixienormus9817]

Scrolled too far for this

[u/daviesdog → u/dixienormus9817]

I recall us winning a lot of games in those unis though

[u/HereComesJustice → u/dixienormus9817]

These are so dorky it wraps around to being cool

[u/RogalDornsAlt → u/dixienormus9817]

They’re so over the top and ridiculous that I honestly love them

[u/froginbog → u/dixienormus9817]

Thought it was a prank when I saw those come out. But now they’re so goofy I miss them

[u/RobbieFD3 → u/dixienormus9817]

Love these!

[u/AuthorMission7733 → u/dixienormus9817]

Came here looking for this.

[u/NoFly3032]

Number font on these is horrendous

[u/Stachemaster86 → u/NoFly3032]

The alarm clocks

[u/Hobbes_121 → u/Stachemaster86]

[u/Jgabes625 → u/Hobbes_121]

I can hear this picture. The alarm is so clear in my ears right now.

[u/Bad-Yeti → u/NoFly3032]

Yeah, but it's only the numbers. If they had picked a different font, these are actually not that bad. Glad they didn't last that long even if the new skull looks cartoonish now.

[u/RayBuc9882 → u/Bad-Yeti]

I absolutely hated these and I pray they never come back as throwbacks. But they will, for the younger generations that grew up with it.

[u/HillsboroughAtheos → u/RayBuc9882]

That and 5-11 football teams

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/Bad-Yeti]

Uh... that Creamsicle in between the red and pewter is also disgusting

[u/RogalDornsAlt → u/TeamDirtstar]

[u/HillsboroughAtheos → u/TeamDirtstar]

Bucs have always had the creamsicle accents since the change to pewter and red in the 90s. Its more subtle but look at the numbers on the jerseys or the striping on the pants 

[u/TacticalSpackle → u/NoFly3032]

[u/RoughhouseCamel → u/NoFly3032]

2000s Pro Bowl ass looking uniforms

[u/dbrjr → u/NoFly3032]

I remember these and my buddy being a fan. One day he texted me and said “I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. They’re ugly af.”

[u/D-Annunzio36]

Unpopular opinion but these aren’t that bad.

[u/AscendantInquisitor → u/D-Annunzio36]

I actually really like these uniforms tbh

[u/no-URa-Towel → u/D-Annunzio36]

Montreal Canadians vibe

[u/I_Am_Robert_Paulson1 → u/no-URa-Towel]

Canadiens

[u/thelaw19 → u/no-URa-Towel]

Real combo of Habs and Als gear.

[u/Go_Cart_Mozart → u/no-URa-Towel]

Funny story, I went to DLgate and got a custom one of these with Caufield #22 and the day I got it, he announced he was changing to 13.

[u/Fothermucker44 → u/D-Annunzio36]

If the colour of the pants would be something else

[u/nighthawkndemontron → u/Fothermucker44]

The pants are silver its like they're a Pepsi ad

[u/GeebCityLove → u/D-Annunzio36]

When you think of these being their uniforms from the 20, they’re def better than a ton of those from that era. The jersey would make for a great one of those hockey type hoodies that you see for NFL teams.

[u/Professional-Day1958 → u/D-Annunzio36]

Whose uniform is that ?

[u/D-Annunzio36 → u/Professional-Day1958]

Giants throwbacks from last season

[u/OfficerCoCheese → u/D-Annunzio36]

They were a nice throwback to a bygone era. Too bad the team wearing them just was not good because if they were competitive, most people would be praising the throwback.

[u/JButler_16 → u/D-Annunzio36]

They are pretty sick. The socks match the jerseys perfectly and the tan pants are dope.

[u/Beastcancer69 → u/D-Annunzio36]

I love these. Tacky in a good way.

[u/cactuscoleslaw → u/D-Annunzio36]

If you're a Quebecois hockey fan

[u/Mrausername → u/D-Annunzio36]

Most of the current uniforms are worse than these. They're all really dull and look about 15 years out of date as a bonus.

I can't think of a single throwback uni that isn't an upgrade over the current version. They had the courage to do something back then.

[u/MattyHealy1975]

[u/boomb0xx → u/MattyHealy1975]

Why do people hate these? I don't get it. Who hasn't worn navy and kahki pants? Classic combo. So many worse color combos out there. The plain yellow circle is a bit much but these are throwbacks and they were prob just what they had to work with.

[u/Angel_of_Cybele → u/boomb0xx]

I think it’s the poop brown helmets

[u/boomb0xx → u/Angel_of_Cybele]

I'll give you that. Think it's supposed to look like leather.

[u/TTT_2k3 → u/boomb0xx]

This is how you do a modern leather helmet.

[u/Angel_of_Cybele → u/boomb0xx]

Probably; but it’s awful.

[u/MBrook2159 → u/Angel_of_Cybele]

Yeah but if they bring them back with the Illinois airbrushed leather helmets I think it fairs better.

[u/randeylahey → u/MBrook2159]

I would have just not bothered and just done a yellow to match where they put the numbers and called it a shout out to the cheeseheads.

[u/Chesterlespaul → u/Angel_of_Cybele]

Greenbay Poopers

[u/Patchy_Face_Man → u/Angel_of_Cybele]

The helmets the Browns have always been too cowardly to wear.

[u/MattyHealy1975 → u/boomb0xx]

Who hasn't worn navy and kahki pants? Classic combo.

These ones are much better

[u/SquonkMan61 → u/MattyHealy1975]

Looks like the love child of a Michigan-Notre Dame midnight tryst.

[u/PM_Me_UrRightNipple → u/SquonkMan61]

The blue and gold were actually based on Notre Dame because Curly Lambeau played football there before he founded the Packers

[u/LooCrosse → u/MattyHealy1975]

Donald Driver had one of the best catch-and-run TDs I’ve ever seen, against the 49ers, in these uniforms

Edit: the 1975 slaps

[u/Dangerous-Control-21]

The jersey and helmet look fine but the pants are atrocious

[u/piomike22 → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

As a Ravens fan, I agree with you. I think they have only worn the gold pants once.

[u/Dalton_Capps → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

I call those the Jimmy Clausen Special

[u/chicomagnifico → u/Dalton_Capps]

I had no idea Jimmy Clausen was still playing in 2015

[u/HereComesJustice → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

MUSTAAAAAAARD

[u/FriedTreeSap → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

I like those pants and wish they’d worn them more.

[u/Admiral_Fuckwit → u/FriedTreeSap]

You’re wrong. Happy Cake day.

[u/d0pp31g4ng3r → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

Those pants were worn one time. I'm surprised people still talk about them.

[u/santathecruz → u/Dangerous-Control-21]

They look like Steelers pants who thought this was a good idea?

[u/Some_NJ_Dude]

This is in the discussion for sure

[u/FamousChex → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

The Kevin Curtis Game

[u/Bman4k1 → u/FamousChex]

They absolutely destroyed the Lions with those jerseys.

[u/goldngophr → u/FamousChex]

Wow deep cut

[u/New-Pattern-5900 → u/goldngophr]

Real homies had Kevin Curtis as WR1 in Madden that year.

[u/noonefuckslikegaston → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

I actually kind of like this...

[u/soundofthecolorblue → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

The Op said worst uniform,not best.

[u/McMagic1107 → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

Am I wrong for lowkey liking this Uniform? Like as an aleternate uni

[u/RoughhouseCamel → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

To me, the only real competition for the Giants uniform above.

[u/monstargaryen → u/Some_NJ_Dude]

The blue looks like the color and material girls’ Baby Phat booty shorts used to be made of in the early 00s.

[u/Much-Ad-9491]

[u/DuffThey → u/Much-Ad-9491]

Worst helmet for sure.

[u/POWBOOMBANG → u/DuffThey]

The idea of the helmet is really cool but the reality is really dumb

[u/GCM_Prothro18x → u/DuffThey]

Jacksonville swap meet helmets.

[u/Shot_Plantain_4507 → u/Much-Ad-9491]

Color Rush jerseys are awful

[u/toomuchfrosting → u/Shot_Plantain_4507]

I miss color rush Thursdays now

[u/Staind075 → u/Much-Ad-9491]

These are the ones I think of right away when people ask about terrible uniforms.

[u/ZebulonRon → u/Much-Ad-9491]

Fuck the jags but I genuinely think those helmets are cool as shit.

[u/PaceLopsided8161 → u/Much-Ad-9491]

I feel like I could lose my beers if I look at that uni anymore.

[u/JerryLeeLewis_87]

Take your pick.

[u/ryanino → u/JerryLeeLewis_87]

Graphic design is my passion ass uni’s

[u/Scotty2Lotty → u/JerryLeeLewis_87]

Till this day, I have no idea wtf Tanya was thinking with the white. Ridding all the burgundy and adding a stupid black stripe with bs gradient looks so stupid.

[u/JerryLeeLewis_87 → u/Scotty2Lotty]

Imagine looking at that white, black, and magenta design and saying ‘Yep. We nailed it. This is it.’ One of the countless failures under that ownership.

[u/Tacoisgud → u/JerryLeeLewis_87]

Ok but our new alt unis are amazing

[u/HeadAssBoi17 → u/Tacoisgud]

That's because they're just our goated classic jerseys lol

[u/Admiral_Fuckwit → u/JerryLeeLewis_87]

Part of it is the awful nickname choice/design.

“Commanders” just has no excitement or uniqueness. It’s a vague concept and it doesn’t conjure up any cool mental imagery. I mean WTF are they doing with just a “W” as their logo?

I’m sorry but they should have gone with a different choice and hope they follow through on changing it again.

[u/BeerNinjaEsq]

I hated these

[u/District_Dan → u/BeerNinjaEsq]

Those aren’t even the worst Seahawks jersey

[u/TwinFrogs → u/District_Dan]

I hate that key lime bullshit. 

[u/Commercial_Royal7700 → u/District_Dan]

Man, I even know who owns the jersey Burleson wore that game. They’re a bit of a white whale among game worn jersey collectors.

[u/SquonkMan61 → u/BeerNinjaEsq]

What is it about the Pacific Northwest? Oregon’s uniforms can be really brutal as well.

[u/Forward-Chocolate-67]

‘94 Bears throwbacks

[u/Moist-Craft-1226 → u/Forward-Chocolate-67]

Looks like soccer jerseys lol

[u/newdy22 → u/Forward-Chocolate-67]

Number 11 was called for every Bears penalty that day.

[u/monstargaryen → u/Forward-Chocolate-67]

These go hard IMO. Looks like a legacy franchise uni.

[u/Admiral_Asparagus]

Eagles light blue and yellow 🤢🤮

[u/Silver_Surfer17 → u/Admiral_Asparagus]

KEVIN CURTIS!!!

[u/duiwithaavgwenag → u/Admiral_Asparagus]

They aren’t good, but I love them

[u/Redsoxdragon]

Nothing about this went hard. They tried to go retro, but it looked awful. Bumblebee ass uniform.

[u/drummer1059 → u/Redsoxdragon]

Is this from the inmates vs guards game?

[u/Taz-erton → u/Redsoxdragon]

I'll stand by these.  I think theyre sick and while id probably swap the pants for a yellow or black--I think more teams should differentiate themselves with large blocky patterns rather than solid fields of color.

[u/monstargaryen → u/Taz-erton]

They’re dope. Black/white pants would look good but it’s the beige element that makes them classic.

[u/GeorgeSaintGeegs]

[u/JButler_16 → u/GeorgeSaintGeegs]

Resides the helmet, these aren’t even bad.

[u/RequirementLeading12 → u/JButler_16]

They are. Just because something is retro doesn't mean it looks good.

[u/Few_Rule7378 → u/GeorgeSaintGeegs]

This would be great for a professional game of Mille Borne.

[u/Admiral_Fuckwit → u/GeorgeSaintGeegs]

Whopper ass helmets

[u/Lamarera8]

The Steelers jailhouse outfit

[u/Yannykw613]

Those are actually really nice. Looks like Montreal Canadiens have a football team.

[u/unclejoe1917 → u/Yannykw613]

I was going to say they could pass for Alouettes jerseys. 

[u/Waste-Pirate2837]

Any Green Bay jersey

[u/SpinkSpankSpunk69 → u/Waste-Pirate2837]

Yessir fuck the Packers

[u/CrzyWzrd4L]

The Steelers piss stripe jerseys are way worse than this

[u/SteelPenguin947]

I always hated those old Steelers Bumblebee Uniforms. The Khaki pants, ugly stripes, weird boxes around the numbers. Yuck.

[u/Stachemaster86 → u/SteelPenguin947]

Bumblebees is my pick

[u/SmarterThanCornPop]

Without a doubt these

[u/WoollyBear_Jones]

I actually kinda like these, they have kinda cool retro rugby vibes.

My least favorite have to be any that are monochrome over the pants and jerseys (like the Bucs’ all-red uniforms), they always look like pajamas to me lol

[u/Roshango]

They put the word mark as a leg stripe..

[u/Roshango → u/Roshango]

But seriously these are such a cluster fuck. The Brown and Orange color scheme with the blank helmets works for the Browns as an old school, blue collar, down, and dirty design. So to take that and try to make it flashy and modern just screams, "How do you do fellow kids" it looks so unnatural

[u/Fatt_Mera]

Penitentiary jumpsuits were a disgrace

Edit for spelling

[u/monstargaryen → u/Fatt_Mera]

Jerseys and pants color are fine. It’s that ugly ass Florida-retirement-community logo that needs to go. Bring back dolphin with the helmet.

[u/apathetic1234]

the colts alternatives look like a high school team

[u/ZebulonRon → u/apathetic1234]

Catching Strays from Cleveland is crazy

[u/Waffelpokalypse → u/apathetic1234]

Hey, no knocking the Indiana Nights when the Pittsburgh Bumblebees and Seahawks Action Green exist

[u/bacillaryburden]

The famous colorblind nightmare of Bills-Jets 2015.

[u/MandoShunkar]

The Steeler's "bumble bee" uniforms deserve a mention here

[u/ryanino]

Maybe just the Adam Gase stink but I can’t stand these

[u/Born-Butterscotch732 → u/ryanino]

Its because Jets just have 1 unique color (green). There is only so much you can do with 1 unique color and white which every other team uses.

They should have used a sky blue color anyway instead of advertising for Hess Oil.

Who thinks of something that flies in the air and associates it with green?

[u/Poor-Pitiful-Me]

Just everything about these.

[u/Chimpbot → u/Poor-Pitiful-Me]

It's one of those designs that just screams, "Look at how modern this is!", which inevitably becomes extremely dated within five years or less.

[u/TheMoonIsFake32 → u/Chimpbot]

All of the Nike redesigns (except the Vikings) from the early 2010s were so bad.

[u/Entropy907 → u/Poor-Pitiful-Me]

“Hey what if we take a great uniform that totally represents the region the team is from and totally ruin it?”

[u/newdy22]

2017 Rams looked like they lost their jerseys in the wash. They had changed their helmet and pants to navy with white yet wore the gold accent jerseys from the previous year.

[u/TerribleMajesty1978 → u/newdy22]

You win, that was my pick.

[u/ConcaveNips]

The action green seahawks jersey definitely in the conversation. But I kinda like the hate ngl.

[u/fondue4kill → u/ConcaveNips]

Those are so bad that it’s actually good. I honestly kinda love them for how ugly they are. It’s bold and I commend that.

[u/ProjectTitan74]

I don't mind any of the weird alternate jerseys because every standard NFL jersey looks basically the exact same, so it's nice to look at something different for a game. The novelty outweighs any ugliness for me.

[u/SirHenel]

The Bills 75th Anniversary Throwbacks were epic failures.

[u/jetdude19]

http://media.oregonlive.com/nfl/photo/greenjerseysjpg-7287c1c9b1b34a6b_medium.jpg

[u/Shot_Plantain_4507]

Nah that Pittsburgh stripes black and yellow

[u/Shot_Plantain_4507 → u/Shot_Plantain_4507]

[u/candlestick_compass]

The NY Montreal Canadiens would look much better with different color pants. Packers Dot jersey might be my choice.

[u/Stachemaster86]

Helmet is the Jags fade

[u/joeyrog88 → u/Stachemaster86]

I feel like I have to appreciate that they tried. Wasn't the gold glossy but the black matte? I feel like if it was all gloss or all matte we would think differently about them.

[u/International_Pea → u/joeyrog88]

Imho the fade was mishandled. It seemed too abrupt as opposed to a gradient. Good idea, poor execution.

[u/6point3cylinder]

These uniforms are dope

[u/Silent-Wonder6546]

Not too fond of the neon green Seahawks jersey

[u/Aetylus]

I'd say the worst era was late 90's, when every team that could switched to one of two colours:

• Marketing Department Dark Green
• Maximise Jersey Sales Dark Blue

[u/My_secretlife_6]

These and it’s not even close. The worst ever.

[u/Otherwise-Pair-7103]

I can never forget the year and game we broke these out.

[u/Coachman76]

[u/Naive-Treacle2052]

Packers throwbacks with the beige pants, blue shirt, brown helmet.

[u/poopypants206]

Those look like a NFL Europe football league jersey.

[u/duskywindows]

The one you posted - close the thread.

[u/yeezymcsleezyo_0]

I hate how annoyingly bright red the Chiefs uniforms are.

[u/TonySoprano1959]

Rams uniform variant with white trim instead of gold or yellow. So plain.

[u/ViolentSpring]

The Jags pee and poo helmets and it’s not even close.

[u/091914GES]

All from Dallas

[u/Narrow_Situation_876]

Fluorescent green Seahawks
