A mixup at a Walmart manufacturer has led to a Kansas City Chiefs- San Francisco 49ers jersey hitting the shelves.

SportsKings.com reports that Walmart's license with the NFL allows it to sell non-authentic apparel, and it looks like the quality control may have dropped a little lower than the company would have liked for this Frank Gore/Sean Smith uniform.

The right thing to do in this situation is to pull this jersey from the shelves and send it to the only man who could appreciate it: Joe Montana.

Notre Dame broke out its new basketball uniforms at the 2013 Big East tournament, creating a wave of criticism. The neon lime-green uniforms may have tried to associate with the Irish, but it proved the Fighting Irish should stick to their traditional colors of blue and gold.

Jorge Campos

Whatever the Mexican goalkeeper had in soccer ability, he lacked in fashion sense.

Golden State Warriors

In 2013, the Warriors went where no NBA team had gone before: over their own players' shoulders. The form-fitting yellow alternate jersey design included sleeves that went down to the mid bicep.

Alexi Lalas and the U.S. made it to the Round of 16 at the 1994 World Cup, but any pride the team may have felt was quickly erased with this uniform.

Marcus Camby and Damon Stoudamire probably weren't celebrating the Raptors' imposing dinosaur in March 1997.

Mighty Ducks of Anaheim

The Disney-owned Ducks never shied away from promoting a particular movie franchise. In 1995-96, the uniform designers must've thought the studio was releasing a a mash-up between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Slap Shot . Thankfully, these were shelved after just one season.

Los Angeles Kings

San Diego Padres

Dave Winfield probably couldn't wait to don Yankee pinstripes over these duds.

Washington Wizards

The Wizards, who many fans consider to have at one time had the best uniforms in NBA history, were at the opposite side of the spectrum with this gold and black alternate jersey worn from 2006 to 2009.

Maryland Terrapins

Maryland defeated Miami 32-24, but the game was secondary to the debut of Maryland's new uniforms in 2011. The Terrapins wore white uniforms patterned after the state flag and helmets splashed with red and white on one side and black and yellow on the other.

Philadelphia Eagles
