[tps_title]32. Jacksonville Jaguars[/tps_title]
By far the ugliest uniform in the League, and perhaps all of sports, this debacle illuminates the importance of uniform design. While a rather typical look for expansion teams throughout different sports, the original iterations of the Jacksonville Jaguars were not terrible. Black, gold and turquoise, while predictable for the era, was serviceable enough as a color scheme. The roaring Jaguar head is a little too reminiscent of their NFC cousin, the Carolina Panthers, who were inaugurated the same year. And while it was not a great or captivating uniform and look, it certainly was not ugly.
And then this. Perhaps the first principle and rule of thumb learned from this uniform ranking is this: do not let Nike experiment with uniform design. Painting helmets in halves has to be the very worst experiment in uniform design ever, and as these rankings will show, that is up against some pretty stiff competition.
The busy, two part mish-mass of turquoise and black makes the uniform look even more gaudy. Set off with the goofy “futurisitic” style of letters that look more at home in a dated 1980s dystopic future movie like The Running Man than an actual NFL team that belongs to the ages, we all behold the ugliest eyesore perhaps not just in the NFL, but throughout the history of sport. Please end this experiment, so that the New England Patriots can enjoy the dubious distinction of having the most hideous eyesores for uniforms.
