Bill Belichick--New England Patriot's Head Coach Charlie Weis--Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Head Coach (This is under category of frowned upon) For a couple of guys who won a few Super Bowls together, Bill Belichick n' Charlie Weis sure haven't let it go to their heads. Belichick often sports grunge look on sidelines, while Weis has been spotted in similar attire at his new haunts in South Bend.

Early '80's Philadelphia Flyers 1981-82 Philadelphia Flyers donned unsightly long pants designed by Cooper that were intended to allow for lighter paddin' underneath. Trouble was slippery Cooperalls failed to make players noticeably faster except for when they went skiddin' into boards. Hartford Whalers also wore pants in 1982-83 before NHL stepped in n' banned them.

John Stockton (frowned upon for a reason folks) Even as fashion trends changed durin' his 19-year career, John Stockton never adjusted length of his shorts. "To be honest, for the first 15 years, I didn't know we had a say in it," he once explained. "It came to a surprise when people were making fun of me, `I can change them?' And I didn't want to at that point, they were comfortable. Styles are going to come and go. I think it's easier to stay with what you're comfortable with."

Australia Women's Basketball (4 words--Get A New Designer) One-piece, skintight uniforms are fine in, say, a swimming pool. But a basketball court? Australian women's national team goes over edge with this unappealin' form-fittin' design.

Some Golfer--Name unavailable Bury Those Shirts If you ask Europeans, only thing uglier than those gawd-awful shirts Americans wore at 1999 Ryder Cup was U.S. team's disgustin' celebration on 17th hole at Brookline. We think bad taste was limited to clothes.
