Top 10 worst sports uniforms

You'd think they would choose the brown and yellow uniforms from the 70's, but they actually chose the camo jerseys.

Jersey lifespan: 2003-2004

Sometimes in sports, teams perform so poorly that they want to hide. The San Diego Padres tried to do the next best thing by wearing a camouflage jersey; what they didn't realize was that baseball games are played in a stadium, not a jungle. Instead of blending into the background, they stood out like sore thumbs in their army fatigue outfits. Some might call it innovative. I call it ugly.

I can't really disagree, the idea behind the camo jersey is a good one, but that particular one is horrific. The hat is a different color green and the camo looks like it is from a generic G.I. Joe. The desert camo still didn't look much better in the last few years. I think they should update it to the DigiCam if anything.

Maybe they should wear berets too.
