It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I watch hockey almost constantly. I feel like this entry was a long time coming.
Here’s a look at the typical Erie Otters jersey.
Not too bad. Nothing outstanding, but that’s what makes a jersey good. Simplicity. I’m also a fan of their 2003 sweaters:
Perfectly plain. I don’t want to watch a bunch of dudes skating around in extravagant clothing while I’m trying to watch hockey. Kind of a given.
What human being, or group of human beings looked at the following jersey and thought it was a good idea?
This shebackle is from a few months back. I can’t find any pictures of them actually wearing them, because I’m pretty sure they burned them.
What the hell? Baby vomit.Doesn’t stick to color scheme. Weird gradients and swooshes all over the place. I have no idea. I’m speechless. I don’t need to rip into the jersey because for Christ’s sake just look at it.
I assume when the players put them on it was this:
After they wore them they went on to lose a million games, or something. I don’t have access to watch the games where I’m located, so whatever.
It’s not hard to find articles on the worst hockey jerseys ever. Take a look at this one or this one and tell me that these Otter sweaters aren’t significantly worse than all of them. Oof.
