AOL Sports is compiling a list of the worst uniforms ever, and, because they're our friends and the subject matter lends itself to hilarity, we thought we'd join in the fun. So here's our look at the worst logos in Olympic history.The official logo for the 2012 London Olympics was unveiled yesterday, and British artists think it's hideous. In MJD's Debriefing he wrote, "I'm not saying I don't like it ... I just don't completely understand what it's supposed to make me feel." And that's just about the most positive thing anyone has had to say.
But the 2012 London Olympic logo isn't even close to the worst symbol in Olympic history. Here are the five worst logos or mascots in the history of the Olympics:
1. 1960 Rome: Reading that Romulus and Remus were nursed by a wolf is interesting. Seeing it is disgusting.
2. 1988 Seoul: Staring intently at that swirl can cause vertigo.
3. Whatizit, 1996 Atlanta: A weird blue creature sure to scare small children.
4. Waldi the Dachsund, 1972 Munich: The ugliest dog I've ever seen.
5. Tokyo, 1964: Would it have killed them to try to be a little creative?
I'm a Chicagoan, and if our fair city wins the 2016 Olympics, I nominate Miss Gossip to design the logo.
