World's Ugliest Shirt
- wadE
So, I was at the Vegas airport yesterday (was it really only yesterday? well, yes, it
was 1:15 AM, so it was just yesterday...I'm so tired) and I saw someone with what I
determined to be the ugliest shirt I had ever seen in my life.
Now declaring something the "ugliest" is pretty objective. The shirt wasn't plaid or
paisley. It didn't have a picture of someone ugly on it. The shirt wasn't puce, pea
green, or a nasty shade of brown. In fact, the shirt was a very simple polo shirt
with primary colors.
This is the reason the shirt has to be the world's ugliest shirt...it was so simple,
yet so repulsive.
Imagine if you will a polo shirt that is astroturf green. Bright, but not neon.
The sleeves of this shirt were black, but the collar was blue. (Yes, blue!) The "body"
of the shirt had thin horizonal stripes running across it that alternated red, blue,
then black.
Here is a rendering of what is looked like.
That doesn't even do the shirt justice. This thing was just horrid. It didn't help
that it was size XXL and the guy was wearing it with navy blue dockers shorts.
It was like a train wreck, I just couldn't keep my eyes off this shirt! He had his
wife and kids with him, couldn't she have stopped him from wearing it? Of course her
shirt wasn't too much better than his... a pleasant mix of pink and melon. Now, I'm no
fashion maven...in fact I have terrible taste in clothes, which makes me even more
qualified because even I would never wear that!
Oy, I'm going to have nightmares for a week!
