This, by all means, is one of the most hideous uniforms in the history of football.
The Orlando Thunder played in the World League of American Football, the predecessor of NFL Europe. They lasted all of two seasons, 1991 and 1992. They are best known for these electric green jerseys. Can you say: LOUD? These probably would glow in the dark, if given the chance.
That part of Florida is known for the high amount of lightning strikes. Obviously, someone's brain was struck by lightning when these uniforms were designed.
Lee Corso was the general manager of the team for part of their existence. I don't know if the uniforms were his idea, but he'd be a good person to blame.
Be glad these jerseys never made it to the NFL.

It's Europe. They have to have some gimick to draw people into the greatness of American Football.
There were some really bad uniforms in later years of NFL Europe, but these were as bad as it gets for a team based in the U.S.
Maybe the Sacramento team should have worn these, as they were called the Surge. These look like the result of a major power surge.
