Having lived in a ECHL town, and working in the Norfolk Scope for 6 years, I can say, there have been PLENTY of ugly Jerseys come into town. THis is in the top 2 or 3, but I think the Toledo Storm had the worst ones. Here is one that is actually BETTER than any of the ones I ever saw them wear before: http://store.yahoo.com/toledostormsouvenirs/adblacrepjer.html
The ECHL has indeed had some real winners. Like this one, for instance, which could kill cows at ten paces.
Probably the worst habitual offender, however, was the Richmond Renegades franchise. Their standard jerseys weren't that great, but their Valentine's Day jerseys simply had to be seen to be believed -- pink with Cupids and hearts...

The RIchmond Renegades had some of the WORST sweaters ever made! I wish I could find a photo of the old school ROAD SIGN ORANGE ones they used to wear. Simply horrid.
Damn those are some ugly jerseys. I gotta say I feel kinda blessed to live in WHL country. There are very few truely ugly jerseys in this league. The worst are generally just plain but not hideous.
The Blazers jersey looks retro in a not-so-good way, while I totally dig the Giants. The Storm jersey looks alright too, if a bit bland.
As far as the rest of them go, who the hell are the crackheads that design these?
"How did the Cards go 11-5? How did Emmie Smith rush for 1,400 yards? How did Jeff Blake become the No. 3 rated passer in the NFL? You dreamt it, that's how."
Although, one that remains a strong candidate for butt-ugly jersey has got to be the old Ottawa 67's shirt. I mean, yeesh. If anyone finds a photo they get a cookie.
Hey, now, the Gulls only wore that jersey once that I can remember. The other ones I've seen on here from the ECHL will look good splattered against the San Diego Sports Arena glass. Damn, some of them look like they were already.
Its a whole different league now that WCHL and the ECHL are one league. The gulls wont dominate like they sorta did in the WCHL. But, it will be good to see them play all the ECHL teams.
