Athletes and sport personalities are always in the public eye and plenty do a lot to look good.
However, they don’t always get it right and end up with people taking the you-know-what out of them.
Juventus and Brazil star Dani Alves is the latest player to be spotted in an unconvential outfit, wearing a long, studded leather jacket in London ahead of the FIFA awards.
Here are a few other sporting fashion faux pas that have caused a stir over the years.
Neymar and Lewis Hamilton
As two of the most high-profile and richest athletes in the world, Neymar and Lewis Hamilton and dress as they please, but it still won’t stop us laughing at them, not that they’ll care…
Cam Newton
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is known for wearing some weird outfits. This is just one of them, but there are plenty more. Google him later to find more!
Liverpool's cream suits
In 1996, Liverpool arrived at Wembley for the FA Cup final in cream suits, blue shirts and striped ties. The “Spice Boys” were roundly ridiculed for the outfits before losing 1-0 to Manchester United.
Danica Patrick
Racing driver Danica Patrick’s dress at the ESPY’s was described by one onlooker as “some crumpled up black fabric that she’d pinned to herself”. Fair enough.
Leroy Fer
Whilst at QPR, Leroy Fer was pictured in this, err, thing!
Teammate Charlie Austin tweeted this image saying “It’s not fancy dress!”
Lindsay Vonn
When Lindsay Vonn won the 2011 ESPY award for best female athlete, her dress caused quite the fuss with plenty of people saying it, well, wasn’t the best…
Tony Hibbert
Yeah Tony Hibbert was a footballer, in case you forgot.
He signed a new Everton contract in this shirt, which kind of sums up his career…
Lionel Messi
Even when picking up the award as the best player in the world, Leo Messi managed to look a bit silly in this suit.
Mario Balotelli
Here’s Mario Balotelli wearing a giant glove as a hat.
Yeah, not much else to say on that, is there?
Tim Duncan
NBA star Tim Duncan arrived at his photo shoot to pick up his MVP award looking like he was just off to the shops.
Gerard Pique
It looks like Gerard Pique wasn’t sure if he was going to play football or going to meet King Arthur at the round table.
Colombian women’s cycling team
No, it’s not what it looks like, they just used a very odd pattern and colour selection on the spandex of the Colombian women’s cycling team!
Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay was spotted at the fight between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora looking like he was off to fight a bull…
Barcelona
The Barcelona squad are big fans of double denim…
Venus Williams
Venus Williams caused a bit of a stir when she rocked up for her match at the Australian Open with Sandra Zahlavova in this outfit.
