Gallery: The Ugliest NBA Jerseys of All Time

Image via Complex Original

Team(s): Sacramento Kings
Season(s) worn: 1994-97

Slightly redone, the half-and-half color scheme that the Kings rock with this jersey could work out but, first and foremost, that checkered side panel needs to go.

Team(s): Los Angeles Clippers
Season(s) worn: 2010-Present

Known for pinching pennies, Clippers owner Donald Sterling probably picked up these old L.A. Stars throwbacks at a Salvation Army. What's with the crunched lettering on these? Is even spacing between each letter really too much to ask for?

Team(s): Miami Heat
Season(s) worn: 2005-06, 2011-12

Paying homage to Miami's bright, colorful past is great, but the Heat can find a better way to do it than donning these eyesores. We know that LeBron and Wade are trying to get their Crockett and Tubbs on by rocking the pastels, but that look is long gone.  

Team(s): Sacramento Kings
Season(s) worn: 2005-2008

Typically, gold is a color only fit for royalty. But they can keep it if it has to look like this jersey. These jerseys are perhaps the one case where silver (the Kings' regular jersey color) can beat gold. 

Team(s): New Jersey Nets
Season(s) worn: 1990-91

An acid-washed style can look great with the right outfit, but as a jersey? You look more like a beat-up pair of Bruce Springsteen's jeans.

Team(s): San Antonio Spurs
Season(s) worn: 2013-Present

With a design inspired by army fatigues, the San Antonio Spurs are tipping their cap to U.S. soldiers everywhere. But, while honoring our men and women serving overseas is important, they deserve better than this sartorial disaster.

Team(s): Memphis Grizzlies
Season(s) worn: 2012-13

Where the Memphis Grizzlies got the inspiration for these unis is beyond anyone's guess. We're just hoping that it wasn't the Washington Generals.

Team(s): Toronto Raptors
Season(s) worn: 2011-12

Fiascoes like the Raptors' camo jersey are the reason that Toronto is better off having Drake and his team handle the style decisions from now on. Can we please get a black and gold Raps jersey soon?

Team(s): Milwaukee Bucks
Season(s) worn: 1996-97

If the Bucks had a more intimidating logo, then maybe this design could work. As of now, they just look like deer in the headlights.

Team(s): Charlotte Bobcats
Season(s) worn: 2007-08

We understand that NASCAR has a serious fanbase in Charlotte, NC, but keep the checkered flags on the race tracks.

Team(s): Cleveland Cavaliers
Season(s) worn: 1994-97

In this case, the electric blue is just too much of a shock to the system. The Cavs should bring these jerseys back for the second half of this season just to confirm to everyone that they've completely given up.

Team(s): Washington Wizards
Season(s) worn: 2006-07

Washington was so close with this design. Black and gold should always be a tight look, but the bulky, inflated lettering and the blocky design totally neutralized any momentum the Wizards had with this jersey.

Team(s): Buffalo Braves/Los Angeles Clippers
Season(s) worn: 1971-73

Orange is rarely a good look, and pairing it with black doesn't make things any better. Come November, these jerseys should've been getting put back in the attic with all your other Halloween decorations.

Team(s): Philadelphia 76ers
Season(s) worn: 1991-94

The '90s had its fair share of hits and misses jersey-wise. Safe to say, the Sixers fell in the latter category with this shirt. The stars and stripe design looks like something you'd see in a cheesy educational video that you watched back in elementary school.

Team(s): Dallas Mavericks
Season(s) worn: 2003-04

Mark Cuban openly criticized the sleeved jerseys that the NBA debuted this past Christmas Day, but Cubes lost any and all credibility in the fashion department when the Mavs used these jerseys for just one game during the 2003-04 season. 

Team(s): Golden State Warriors
Season(s) worn: 2013-Present

Only because they started this whole sleeved jersey trend last season, the Warriors deserve whatever bad luck they have coming their way for the few seasons. They've created a monster. 

Team(s): New Orleans Hornets
Season(s) worn: 2008-2013

We love Mardi Gras. Who doesn't? But whoever thought up the two-tone design on these fashion fails has been spending way too much time on Bourbon Street. Purple on the front and green on the back? Someone wasn't in their right mind. 

Team(s): New York Knicks
Season(s) worn: 2012-13

Carmelo is about to ask the ref why he has to walk around looking like an Orange Julius while Kobe gets to rock the coke-whites.

Team(s): New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder
Season(s) worn: 2013-14

Isn't the holiday season supposed to be the happiest time of the year? These jerseys were the style equivalent of getting coal in your stocking.

Team(s): East and West All-Stars
Season(s) worn: 2013-14

If you thought the Dunk Contest last night was bad, just wait until you have to stare at these for 48 minutes during tonight's All-Star Game.
