Defensive end Taco Charlton promised the Kansas City Chiefs would get the best version of him, something that perhaps the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins didn’t get in his previous NFL stops.

“I guess you could say that,” Charlton said, when asked whether his recent signing with the Chiefs could be his last chance to resurrect a career that began as first-round pick with the Cowboys in 2017.

“My foot is on the gas for this one. I’m not saying I gave my full effort everywhere I’ve been. All [previous] situations, things came to an end and it was kind of mutual. It wasn’t really much of a surprise. … I was feeling kind of out of position a little bit in the past. This year, I feel like I’ll be comfortable and use my talents to the best of my ability.”

Charlton lasted just two seasons with Dallas, where he had four sacks in 27 games. He had five sacks in his 10 games with Miami last season, but the Dolphins recently waived him.

For a sport often described as the “beautiful game,” football has certainly seen an abundance of ugly uniforms over the years. Goalkeeper tops alone have featured some truly hideous designs, but the men between the sticks have mercifully been excluded from this list. Those with weak stomachs should proceed with caution as we rank the ugliest kits in world football history.

10. United States, 1994

Teams at the 1994 World Cup apparently loved experimenting with early versions of Adobe Photoshop to design some truly hideous uniforms. Look no further than the hosts, as the United States marched onto the pitch sporting absurdly large stars emblazoned on faux-denim tops.

9. 1860 Munich, 2010

1860 Munich’s attempt to honor the club’s most iconic moments on a 150th-anniversary shirt spawned a complete mess. Luckily, supporters had the option to reverse the top – to reveal another grisly sight.

8. Hull City, 1992-93

The orange and black stripes weren’t enough. Hull City took their nickname to the next level with a kit straight from the wardrobe of “Tiger King” villainess Carole Baskin. Unfortunately, the look didn’t seem to strike fear into opponents, as Hull finished the season sitting 20th in the old Second Division.

7. Liverpool, 2013-14

Other than the badge, nothing about this third kit from the 2013-14 campaign gave the impression that it had anything to do with Liverpool. It’s not unusual for teams to experiment with unconventional designs for their third kits, but this one missed the mark by a mile.

6. Chelsea, 1994-96

Not even Dutch legend Ruud Gullit could pull this one off. Chelsea’s kit designer seemingly mashed several designs together to produce this sight for sore eyes.

5. Athletic Bilbao, 2004-05

If Athletic Bilbao’s aim was to make their players look like they’d just visited a slaughterhouse, they nailed it with this blood-spatter ensemble to mark the club’s 100-year anniversary.

4. Coventry City, 1992-93

Hungry opponents were doomed when they went up against Coventry City almost 30 years ago when the club donned a top that appeared to pay homage to deli meats.

3. Reggina, 2011-12

Reggina offered a solution for those struggling with body-image issues when they unveiled this gem of a uniform. Instead of going to the gym, fans of the Italian third-division club merely had to buy one of these naked-torso tops to instantly look jacked.

2. CD Palencia, 2016-17

CD Palencia went with the “inside out” look and, well, it was pretty much one of the most unsettling uniforms ever created. Though predators with a taste for human flesh might find it appealing, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would green-light this hot mess of a design instead of laughing in the face of its architect.

1. Colorado Caribous, 1978

As far as ugly football shirts go, the Colorado Caribous’ kit is the Holy Grail. The club folded after one season, but the horrors of its uniform will live on forever thanks to its hideous color scheme, ridiculously large collar, and – the mother of all eyesores – beige tassels.

The Las Vegas Raiders are finalizing an agreement with veteran cornerback Prince Amukamara, a source told ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

Amukamara, who has started 99 games in his career, should compete for a starting job with Las Vegas at best and provide much-needed experience and depth at cornerback at the very least.

The Raiders return Trayvon Mullen, who started the last 10 games of his rookie season last year, and used a first-round draft pick, No. 19 overall, on Ohio State cornerback Damon Arnette and a fourth-round pick on slot corner Amik Robertson.

40. Brazil (2014)

You could draw three stripes – yellow, blue, white – and every soccer fan on the planet would instantly know what they represent. The five-time World Cup winners first donned their iconic kit in 1954 following the national tragedy that was a home defeat to Uruguay at the 1950 World Cup in all-white attire. A newspaper ran a contest to design a new strip for the national team that needed to incorporate all four colors of Brazil’s flag: green, yellow, blue, and white. A 19-year old illustrator won the prize, in part thanks to his genius idea to use green merely as trim on the yellow shirts.

39. Portland Trail Blazers (1990s)

The Blazers’ diagonal jersey stripe debuted in the ’70s but was perfected in the ’90s. The fluidity of the design running down the side of the shorts is magnificent work, and the pinwheel logo on the opposite leg, along with a bolder wordmark than in years past, created a uniform that never needs to be altered.

38. Real Madrid (2011-12)

The panache and glamor of Real Madrid live vicariously through their all-white kits. Owning perhaps the most iconic look in all of Europe on a year-to-year basis, Los Blancos’ style peaked in 2011-12 with a look that featured collars and gold trim. Really, though, pick any given year and you’ll find one of the cleanest and classiest home kits in all of footy.

37. Miami Dolphins (1970s)

Not only did the Dolphins produce a perfect season in 1972, but they also owned perfect uniforms. The aqua and orange combo sparkles to this day, but the prime years of Miami’s franchise and uniforms also featured the ideal jersey and sock stripes, along with a cartoonish yet brilliant helmet logo. It’s no wonder today’s Dolphins are showered with praise any time they break out their ’70s throwbacks.

36. St. Louis Blues (1970s)

After joining the NHL in the league’s first wave of expansion in 1967, the Blues opened eyes by making the Stanley Cup Final in each of their first three seasons. They also made an immediate impact by looking incredible as soon as they took the ice, donning uniforms that rivaled those in the “Original 6.” St. Louis’ blue was unique compared to those of the Maple Leafs, Rangers, and Canadiens back in the day, and the dull yellow complemented it exquisitely. Shifting to darker shades is a decision we wish the Blues never made.

35. Penn State football (current)

It’s difficult to conceive of a more simple uniform than the Nittany Lions’ white stripeless pants, navy blue stripeless home jerseys, and logo-less white helmets adorned with a single navy stripe. In this case, simplicity is pretty close to perfection.

34. Netherlands (2016)

The flag of the Netherlands is red, white, and blue, but the Dutch aren’t counted among the too-long list of sports teams donning those three colors. Instead, they’ve carved out perhaps the most unique and famous look in international sports by wearing the colors of the House of Orange, the Dutch Royal Family. The throngs of orange-clad fans who follow the Netherlands’ national soccer teams create a home stadium atmosphere anywhere on the planet.

33. Kansas City Chiefs (current)

Full credit to the Chiefs for never entertaining the idea of redesigning their traditional uniforms, as tempting as it may have been, over the decades that passed between their Super Bowl appearances. Now, with the best football player alive donning red and yellow, the Chiefs’ classic look has a new sheen. Those bright colors really pop under the September sun in Arrowhead, but they also look great on a snowy Sunday night in January.

32. Vegas Golden Knights (current)

The Golden Knights needed to make a splash with their identity as Sin City’s first professional franchise. And as if making the Stanley Cup Final in their expansion season wasn’t enough, they also happened to settle on a perfect contemporary design. Vegas opted for granite, gold, white, and a clever dash of red. The use of white gloves with the road uniforms was a phenomenal touch, one that bucked the conservative nature that consistently holds hockey back.

31. Toronto Blue Jays (1990s)

The Blue Jays’ digs are sharp today, but the original look that provided the inspiration for Toronto’s current uniforms was even better. The tri-color hat is an all-time classic, and the use of baby blue in the logo and stripes is a style forever immortalized thanks to the club’s back-to-back World Series titles in the early ’90’s.
