Would You Wear This Jersey?

Las Vegas Thunder '96-'97 Valentine's Day jersey

These are all actual, game-worn jerseys that I found through the many web sites and photo albums maintained on the Internet by game-worn jersey collectors. Most of these are of the "One-Game Wonder" variety-- not referring to the "one-day wonder" NHL players that I just posted about, but meaning one-off commemorative jerseys that are worn for just one game or so, then usually auctioned off for charity (the plaid Bob Uecker jerseys that the Milwaukee Admirals wore for a weekend last season are an example of this). Some of these jerseys, though, are the everyday game jerseys worn by that particular team throughout the entire season... if you can imagine that.

So here they are, from the ones that I was able find (and I'm sure there are many more examples out there)-- the worst of the worst, the baddest of the bad:


Seattle Thunderbirds '00 "70's Night" jersey
(collector: seattlehockey.net)
Complete with afro on the team mascot logo, and a peace sign patch on the hem




Charlotte Checkers (ECHL) David St. Germain '03-'04 jersey
(collector: cote67)
Great, if you want to go to the game looking like a
picnic tablecloth




Abilene Aviators (WPHL) Craig Perrett '98-'99 jersey

Louisville Riverfrogs (ECHL) '97-'98 jersey

Milwaukee Admirals Petr Sachl '00-'01 "Tie Dye" jersey
(collector: markski)
While a bunch of teams have all used this tie-dye design,
I still say that the MilAds are way ahead of the field when it
comes to silly-looking jerseys




San Antonio Iguanas (CHL) Paul Buczkowski '00-'01 Thanksgiving jersey

San Diego Gulls (ECHL) '04-'05 jersey

Landshut Cannibals (DEL) Mark Lamb '97-'98 jersey
(collector: tigerlady)
European jerseys should almost be off-limits for being
universally goofy, but I think this one deserves special
mention just for the little cannibal guy running around on it




Nürnberg Ice Tigers (DEL) Chris Luongo '02-'03 jersey
(collector: tigerlady)
Awesome jersey + mister+lady+jeans = crap



Bodens IK (Sweden) '00-'01 jersey

Essen Moskitos (DEL) Tray Tuomite '03-'04 Christmas jersey
