#5

#5 Houston Astros

The Houston Astros play in the American League of the Major League Baseball. In the 1970s the came up with an extremely unusual jersey. The rainbow coloured jersey with a big star just does not go well with baseball.

#4 Toronto Raptors

NBA team Toronto Raptos used the dinosaur cartoon themed jerseys for four years from 1995-1999. For the upcoming season, to celebrate twenty years of the franchise, the Raptors will wear a similar designed jersey. The cartoon jerseys do not look intimidating at all. The Raptors will be hoping that a dinosaur with a basketball will distract opponents from their game.

#3 Rockford Icehogs ice hockey team

The Rockford IceHogs are a professional ice hockey team that plays in the American Hockey League. To celebrate Mexican culture, the team designed a special jersey for the occasion. The colourful, sweater-like dotted jersey, is truly one of its kind. The hats on top of the numbers at the back do not really help the cause.

#2 England football team goalkeeper jersey

England's goalkeeper kit worn by David Seaman was just too colourful. Goalkeeper jerseys are purposely designed differently from those worn by outfield players. But England took the idea too far considering their team wears whites on most occasions.

#1 Colombia cycling team

The Colombian women's cycling team made the news for all the wrong reasons. The jersey's design was criticized by many as the photo went viral over the Internet. The Colombian team gained more attention than victories for this audacious jersey.
