Sports Fashion Trend: Git Yo' Ugly On!

This season, the NBA All-Star game returns to Phoenix for the first time since 1995. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't find NBA All-Star games to be memorable events. However, I very clearly remember the last Phoenix All-Star game for one specific reason: It featured quite possibly the worst uniforms in basketball history:

Those things looked like total horseshit in '95, and South Park hadn't even been invented yet. Now, with us all having seen a full decade of paper-cutout animation, those uniforms look even more ridiculous. They look like the South Park Cows basketball team... but even worse, 'cause they're purple.

Why are we dredging this up when it has ostensibly nothing to do with this year's All-Star game, you ask? Because the NBA is allowing you -- yes, you -- the opportunity to re-live of one of basketball history's most visually horrifying events by purchasing -- for a mere $100 -- a brand-new throwback version of the '95 All-Star jersey!


Now get this: the fucking things are back-ordered on Eastbay! People just can't get enough ugly.

Pardon me while I dry my tears on my Astros "tequila sunrise" jersey.

I challenge you and Snizza to come up with uglier uniforms. Lets have us an ugly-off!

How about the 1996 game in SA? Almost the same uni.
