Bad (Good) Sports Jerseys of the 90's Washington, D.C. Edtition

This is the fourth in our series of a whole lot. In no particular order, this is what I would consider the best (funniest) jerseys to own or see somebody wearing from the D.C. teams of the 90's. Be sure to check the other cities in the series so far, Baltimore, Montreal and Cleveland. Also be sure to check out our store featuring bad jerseys from D.C. teams and other shirts like the one to the left. Please leave comments below if there are any you think I forgot.


1. Heath Shuler
. Incredible draft bust. Now a congressman from North Carolina.

2. Boubacar Aw. His name is pretty much the main reason here. Apparently he drops fifteen points a night playing professional basketball in Mexico. I was unaware they had professional basketball in Mexico.

3. Manute Bol. He was short.

4. Mugsy Bogues. He was tall.


5. Gus Frerotte. No one will ever forget that touchdown celebration.

6. Gheorge Muresan. The Bullets had a thing for tall guys who were really bad at basketball. He was also a movie star.

7. Victor Page. Declared for the NBA draft after his sophomore year at Georgetown. That was a terrible idea, he just was not that good at basketball. It also didn't help that he missed the NBA pre draft camp because he was too drunk the night before.

8. Deion Sanders. One of the better free agent signings Dan Snyder ever made. too bad turf toe real kept Deion from ever making a play.

9. Pervis Ellison. "Never Nervous Pervis" also later became known as "Out of Service Pervis" never really lived up to that number one draft pick status.

10. Danny Wuerffeul. Part of that bring every former Gator to D.C. to play under Spurrier project that worked out so well for the Skins.

Bad Jerseys of the 90's Cleveland Edition

This is the third in our series of a whole lot. Cleveland really had a ton of really bad players in the 90's which made this very hard. In no particular order, this is what I would consider the best (funniest) jerseys to own or see somebody wearing from the Cleveland teams of the 90's. Be sure to check the other cities in the series so far Baltimore and Montreal. Also be sure to check out our store featuring bad jersyes from Cleveland teams and other shirts like the one to the left. Please leave comments below if there are any you think I forgot.

1. Tim Couch. The number one pick was suppose to be the answer so much so that he was featured on the Drew Carey show as a rookie, but was a huge bust.


2. Alex Cole. He is a shoe in for the all rec specs teams and may also make the all jheri curl team. And certainly a lock for the all heroin team.


3. Craig Ehlo. Better known as that guy from that Jordan highlight that no one has ever seen.



4. Vitaly Potapenko. The "Ukraine Train" never really lived up to his potential for the Cavs. The 12th overall selection in 1996, the five picks after him in the draft were Kobe, Peja Stojakovic, Steve Nash, Tony Delk, and Jermaine O'Neal. But at least later in that first round they landed Big Z.


5. Wil Cordero. Wife Beater Cordero was only with the Tribe for one season in the 90's, but this was after his arrest for domestic violence that made him miss Saturday day games for counseling, and occasional games to go to Puerto Rico for custody hearings. Also put new meaning to the term professional hitter by having a little league arm.


6. Paul Assenmacher. Up here solely because I believe if you say his name enough times fast it will come out as "Ass Smacker."


7. Rashaan Salaam. Real draft bust, but at least he ended his career as the fourth most prolific rusher in XFL history.

8. Benoit Benjamin. Apparently he is an idiot. Something I find funny. I also really respect the double zero.




9. Trajan Langdon. The Alaskan Assassin was drafted by the Cavs in 1999 and has rarely been seen in America since, but was named the EuroLeague Finals MVP last year.


10. Candy Maldonado. I will pay to get him off of Baseball Tonight.

11. Karim Abdul-Jabbar. The original Chad Ocho-Cinco. Got much more attention for his name than for his play. The real Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sued him and won and then he changed his name to Abdul-Karim al-Jabbar.


Honorable Mention: Craig Ehlo, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Koy Detmer, Hot Rod Williams, Carlos Baerga, Paul Sorrento, Junior Ortiz, Felix Fermin, Alvaro Espinoza, Billy Ripken, Heathcliff Slocumb, Albert Belle.

Bad (Good) Sports Jerseys of the 90's Montreal Edition

This is the second in our series of a whole lot. I don't watch hockey and Montreal does not have other sports teams that count so this is strictly Expos. In no particular order, this is what I would consider the best (funniest) jerseys to own or see somebody wearing from the Expos of the 90's. Be sure to check the first one in the Bad Jersey's of the 90's, the Baltimore Edition. Also be sure to check out our store featuring bad jerseys from these Expos. Please leave comments below if there are any you think I forgot.

1. John Wetteland. Chosen because I believe if you say his name fast enough times you will end up in a magical place called "Wet Titty Land."



2. Delino DeShields. Two reasons. First the double ear flap helmet. Second, little known fact, he is the greatest professional athlete to ever come out of Delaware.



3. Randy Ready. Are you Randy? Are you?



4. F.P. Santangelo. First off is he the only person on earth that goes by F.P.? And he admitted using HGH, but onlyhit 21 career home runs in seven seasons. Maybe he should have gotten some of that Brady Anderson juice, thats what the skinny guys needed. Nice outfit too.


5. Carl Pavano. Remember when he was good, healthy, and not rich? And the tie dyed baseball shirt, impressive.


6. Carlos Perez. The game misses guys like him and Jose Lima.


7. Oil Can Boyd. Greatest name in the history of sports. And look at that delivery.



8. Wilton Guerrero. Always fun to have the obscure brother jersey like Billy Ripken, Mike Maddux, or Ozzie Canseco.


9. Ugueth Urbina. Currently serving a fourteen year prison term in Venezuela for attempted murder.

10. Otis Nixon. Dude loved him some crack.

Bad Jerseys of the 90's Baltimore Edition

These are what I would consider the ten funniest jerseys to see a random person wearing from Baltimore sports teams in the 1990's. This is completely biased on what I would think would be the funniest to see, but I welcome your suggestions as always. The list is in no particular order. (If only Elvis Grbac had been in Baltimore in the 1990's he would certainly be number one) If anybody owns these jerseys please send the pictures along and you should know I may not wear that jersey but I really respect you for doing it.

1.
Albert "Don't Call me Joey" Belle. He really was worth that $65 million deal he got from the Orioles and in general was just a great guy. He also was very nice to kids on Halloween.


2. Jeff Reboulet. You really have to love a man that will go out and sport a jersey of a career utility man who was never really any good at all.


3. Vinny Testaverde. He was old when he started every game at quarterback in the Ravens inaugural season in 1996, now he is just really freaking old.


4.
Bam Morris. Cut by the Steelers after getting arrested and promptly spent two years full of suspensions and trouble with the law in Baltimore. You may have seen the story of his life on the big screen, The Longest Yard.


5. Chris Sabo. Nobody wore rec specs with more style than Chris Sabo.


6. Brady Anderson. George Mitchell can consider his report incomplete because Brady Anderson was not listed. He hit 16 home runs in 1995, 50 in 1996, and 18 in 1997. He also had unbelieable sudeburns. And my favorite is that he picks up chicks online and texts them pictures of his abs.



7. Tony Tarasco. Most famous for being the guy that Jeffrey Maier took the ball away from in the 1996 ALCS. Way to make your mark on the league Tony.


8. Roberto Alomar. Role Model.


9. Mike Bordick. The chosen man to take over for Cal Ripken. The team chose the successor to the Iron Man real well and that decision was the first in a long line that led to a decade of being a model franchise. Not.




10. Sir Sidney Ponson. This would have to be size XXXL to be realistic though. And of course you would have to be a drunken jerk.
