The Jacksonville Jaguars just entered the race for ugliest uniforms on the planet

PLENTY of sports teams challenge for the biggest eyesore of an outfit, but this NFL side just became a new frontrunner.

JACKSONVILLE, FL - NOVEMBER 19: Blake Bortles #5 and Chris Clemons #91 of the Jacksonville Jaguars celebrate after the game against the Tennessee Titans at EverBank Field on November 19, 2015 in Jacksonville, Florida.

SOMETIMES our job requires us to wear things we don’t like. Think a suit and tie at the office on a 38-degree day, or that unnecessarily formal vest you had to pretend not to hate when you were a teenage usher at your local cinema.

But when you reach the pinnacle of sport, it would be safe to assume the days of being forced to wear ludicrous apparel in public were over. After all, why would your employer want to embarrass you in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers both at the stadium and at home watching on TV when you’re their most valuable asset?

Well, any Jacksonville Jaguars players who happened to earn their pocket money as youngsters by collecting ticket stubs from movie-goers on Saturday afternoons will probably be looking back on that time with a little less shame after donning one of the NFL’s ugliest ever strips for their 19-13 win over the Tennessee Titans on Friday (AEDT).

Their Colour Rush uniform would have been better suited to lying on top of a hot dog nestled next to some tomato sauce given its lifeless, mustard-like tone. Or, according to some viewers and commentators, it would have fit right in next to the kebab shop in the dark alley behind the nightclub where people go to throw up on themselves after downing a few too many rum and cokes.

Some even believed the jerseys resembled a substance that comes out the opposite end to where food goes in.

Thanks to the #Jaguars uniforms tonight, I now know what it would look like if a uniform vomited on itself. #TNF

This evening's Titans-Jaguars game is basically a ugly uniform contest.

I have it on good authority... the Jaguars uniform color is baby poo yellow. #TENvsJAX

Every new parent knows that Jaguars uniform color too well. That there is baby diarrhea brown.

OMG the Jaguars uniform tonight. I didn't realize "baby diaper poop" was in their color scheme. #TENvsJAX

The Colour Rush promotion, designed to hype up Thursday Night Football in the US, debuted last week in the Buffalo Bills’ match against the New York Jets and was ridiculed because colour blind fans couldn’t tell the difference between the two sides.

The intense red and green uniforms of both teams meant colour blind supporters were left to say: “At the end of the day, football was the real winner,” because they couldn’t well tell for themselves who had actually finished up ahead on the scoreboard.

But it’s days like this they were no doubt thankful for their vision impairment so they could be spared the full brunt of the Jaguars’ calculated assault on the eyeballs of everyone who watched the game.

Scroll down if you dare.

Maybe this pose will make the colour work? No, I guess not.

If we run into each other hard enough, maybe we can knock the colour out of our jerseys!

While staring at the uniform will want to make some people throw up, vomiting on the jersey might actually make it better.
