During tonight’s Monday Night Football clash between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, the teams broke out their AFL throwback uniforms. That was awesome. Unfortunately, the refs also wore their AFL throwbacks. When I saw them in these clownsuits, I could only think of one thing…
Seriously, I didn’t know whether to scream at them over calls they blew or order a burger, fries and a shake. When Leodis McKelvin pulled a Munson, ran the ball out when he should have taken a knee, then fumbled, it was utterly hilarious to see a six-pack of these bozos gather around the pile. This is what the work uniform would look like if Foot Locker merged with Whataburger. The hats are absolutely hideous, I think I saw one of those in my grandpa’s closet before he passed.
To make matters worse, the refs in the San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders game are wearing the same thing. I wonder if just putting those on raises your cholesterol. Ugh, they look like what you’d see if an inmate screwed a jack-o’-lantern. The NFL really needs to figure out the difference between throwbacks and throwaways. Please. I’ve been adjusting my TV set all night thinking the color was off.
More pics of these abominations after the jump…

What are you talking about?!? Those AFL ref uniforms rule.
LOL, thats just too funny dude!
too bad Whataburger is ORANGE you’d have a funny story. Fail.
What images are you looking at bro??????
The uniforms aren’t that bad.
Honestly you should just pull this horrible article down. Wasn’t correct and was the furthest from funny since PeeWee was caught in a naughty theater…actually that was funnier than this.
Actually, the numbers on the original AFL officials Whatwhatwhatwhatwhatwhataburger shirts were blue with white trim.
Well, perhaps the uniforms were so ugly they distracted the Instant Replay official from all of the better camera angles than the one he used for that HORRIBLE TOUCHDOWN CALL in the second quarter.
I’m a San Diego fan, and even *I’m* horrified at how bad that call was. I don’t want my team to win that way.
