The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic athletes and staff are taking “patriotic” to a whole new level – of fashion faux pas, that is. The willingness to wear such painfully awkward uniforms like the one above probably deserves a gold medal, in and of itself.

And if these athletes have (or had) any pride at all, it’s officially been stripped, thanks to the fur and color explosion they’re instructed to don. New York Rangers’ Goalie Henrik Lundqvist told Men’s Fitness:

“During the Olympics they’re really strict about what you’re allowed to wear. You get a lot of clothes, but everything is pre-ordered… You’re not allowed to wear your own clothes. No logos, nothing. You get fined if you wear something you’re not supposed to wear.”

Whoa, so that’s how it works. And while it’s certainly true (too true) that this year’s Sochi Olympics uniforms are overall horrendous, it’s important to remember that things could be worse. Fur, ugly sweaters and clashing colors have all been done before.

And to prove it, we’ve rounded some of the worst-of-the-worst Olympic costumes from the past – as well as a few from Sochi 2014 (couldn’t resist). Let us know which awful costume takes home the gold in fashion no-nos!
