Brief but bad sports jerseys [Photos]

TEAM: Florida Everblades, East Coast Hockey League

YEAR: Christmas 2010

WHY: There have been some doozies in the ECHL when it comes to one-off hockey jerseys, but the punny team named for its geographical locale takes the Yule log. The Florida Everblades channeled their inner Clark W. Griswold for this festive garb. Can you say, re-gift?

TEAM: St. Louis Blues, National Hockey League

YEAR: 1996

WHY: Thank your lucky stars then Blues coach Mike Keenan vetoed any chance of these brassy jerseys being worn. During St. Louis' 1996 campaign, the clothiers of the team decided to make a lot of noise with this template only to sent away.

TEAM: Rockford Icehogs, American Hockey League

YEAR: November 16, 2012

WHY: It's not every day you see a poncho-patterned hockey jersey. But the Rockford Icehogs threw together a Mexican-themed home jersey and gave the first 2,500 fans the colourful shirts along with maracas. The occasion? Corona was a sponsor. Aye carumba!

TEAM: Phoenix Coyotes, National Hockey League

YEAR: 1998

WHY: If you thought the kachina-themed coyote was bad enough, the newly relocated Winnipeg Jets introduced a third jersey featuring cacti and desert landscapes. And you thought the Cactus League was only baseball?

TEAM: New York Islanders, National Hockey League

YEAR: 1995-98

WHY: Want a grimy fisherman on your hockey jersey? Look no further than Long Island for Captain Highliner. The Isles experimented with a new look only to have it turn into the albatross around their neck.

TEAM: Lehigh Valley Ironpigs, International League (AAA Baseball)

YEAR: 2008

WHY: During the team's inaugural season, they had a Hawaiian-themed night. The jerseys also featured a parrot on them - a tip of the hat to Jimmy Buffett? Hopefully they sold a lot of margaritas in the stands the night the Ironpigs wore these.

TEAM: Everett Silvertips, Western Hockey League

YEAR: October, 2012

WHY: Nobody is going to give a team grief for trying to raise cancer awareness by sporting pink. However, shirt designers should have remembered to drop the kelly green from the Silvertips colour scheme. This clash was definitely not rocking the Casbah.

TEAM: Colorado Caribou, North American Soccer League

YEAR: 1978

WHY: Jorge Campos, eat your heart out. Even his colourful kits could not match the questionable choice of tassels on a jersey. No further comment.

TEAM: Cedar Rapids Kernels, Midwest League (Class A baseball)

YEAR: 2012

WHY: Jimmy Buffett must love baseball. Or the other way around. There's nothing corny about an Iowan baseball team sporting parrots and palm trees in the dog days of August. But, much like Lehigh Valley, this squad sported the tropical theme in honour of the Margaritaville musician.

TEAM: Bakersfield Condors, East Coast Hockey League

YEAR: Oct. 30, 2009

WHY: The Bakersfield Condors decided to honour the King of Pop a day before Halloween. Why? We're not quite certain, but the first thing we think of when Bakersfield, Calif. is mentioned is Michael Jackson.

TEAM: Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, National Hockey League

YEAR: 1995-96

WHY: The 'Wild Wing' jersey was definitely exemplary of the Mickey Mouse operation that owned the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim until 2005. Thankfully it was only an alternate. And thankfully for only one season.
