Daniel Bryan's girly furry boots at mania. I could also name about 20 indy dudes that thing "Basic black trunks and kickpads" are all you need for a look. Until they add some style! A silver or possibly white stripe on the side! Oooo....look at thaaaat. reminds me of that period when WWE insisted everyone coming out of development dress exactly like Randy Orton. terrible times.

Brock Lesnar's current gear. I understand the look and why, it just feels too casual.
Also, because it was brought up in the GIFs and Pics thread, Lo Down's attire. JUST UGH. Just rediculous looking, glaringly-coloured crap.

Cody Rhodes current "gay porn parody version of Link" attire. I mean, it's good enough on its own, but looks awkward when teaming with Goldust. It really bothered me that he never wore gold tights (even though he does have a pair) to match with his brother.

If I see one more black trunks-and-boots combo within a mile of any major promotion, I'm going to hunt down their creative department and hand them over to either Trinny and Susannah or Stacy anc Clinton, whoever's closer. I am sick to death of all black; I think it looks cheap on TV and suggests that Creative doesn't give a shit about that wrestler or about their gimmick. The Attitude Era's over, folks - I want some f***ing color on the ring gear.
A dishonorable mention also goes to that wine color they've tagged Otunga, Big E and Daniel Bryan with. It's not a usual color but it's not a good color; I find it too bland for the ring when red would do at least as well.

Shawn Michaels' odd brown and turquoise blue tights when he won the World's title in the EC. After years of awesome looks...why that?

Homeless War Vet Daniel Bryan: Geez, am I the only one that actually thought this attire was cool? I loved it. It was perfect for him at the time.

Pretty much. I think that's why the black/camo green/red attire that's been quoted a few times in here gets a bad wrap, because it looked like they were about to start trying to phase out his signature colour.

A few come to mind: Firstly a big pet peeve of mine is when guy hae black tights/trunks/singlets/etc with black designs on them. It seems kind of redundant to have black on black. For example, and these were all taken in the past year mind you: I know once you go black etc. But come on, did they really not get enough black on them? Secondly, Matt Hardy's purple tights from 2009. He also had a black and blue pairs that weren't as bad. But these were pretty painful to look at. Even more so when he started gaining weight. Thirdly, most of the things Triple H wore in 2003. Mainly his blue tights, blue boots combo. Flair made it work, but it just looked off on Trips. Next, MVP and Mark Henry become the Cool Aid Men. I hated these attires. I'm no fashion expert, but I think there a point where you can have too much red. I get the intention to create a uniform attire for the team. But I don't think this worked. Lastly, Cody Rhodes' kneepadless look. He just looks like he's wrestling in his underpants like that. Plus the skinny chicken legs he's got going for him don't really compliment him, and knee pads can hide those knobbly knees.

Because we needed a way to tell the real Undertaker from the fake one. I get that, but why then carry on with the look for two years afterwards? If they were going to change his look up, there had to be a more suitable colour than purple? Purple was one of the 90s favorite colors (also teal), and black and purple especially (both kings team thought so, also lots of expansion sports teams had purple in the 90s).

The conversation begins and ends with Ahmed Johnson and his wedgie inducing trunks.

There's a story behind it somewhere along the lines of Steven Regal "gifting" him an old pair of maroon trunks while training with him. He's kept the color as a nod to Regal ever since. I think it's awesome and would hate to see him lose it. And honestly, before it was brought up here, I didn't even realize that anyone else was wearing this color except him; it's that unique to him in my mind.

Mark Henry's Kool-aid attire but only because in the games from SVR 2011 until WWE 13 changing Mark Henry's attire color is useless because it would still appear red when lights hit it. It looked absolutely stupid especially with the color blue.
Alberto Del Rio needs some tights his legs look terrible.
Everyone who is wrist tape/glove/elbow padless they seem naked to me.

I've never been able to accept Chris Jericho is trunks, I would forever wish he would return to tights.
Topless Kane
Big Daddy V
Wrestlers that don't wear kneepads
Bare wristed Wrestlers.
and going around in T Shirt and Trunks just makes you looks like a f***ing idiot. Even if it's a wrestler I like.

Big Daddy V was the first thing that came to mind. He looked like a credible monster as Viscera. Without a shirt, he just looked like a fat guy with massive man boobs. Not only did he look much better with a shirt but I'd about guarantee his opponents much preferred it. Still amazed they thought that was a good idea. Ya he's got a ton of tatts to help make him look mean but the enormous double-mancans going around his back make it go from intimidating to just ugh.

It just looked so terrible, especially when variations of his trunks have been so good in the past. It's an ugly shade of green as it is, that's without it clashing horribly with his skin tone. Looked like someone had inverted the colours of a more traditional attire.

, it made Kane look like a non-wrestler out of his element like Mr McMahon was. Hey, I loved his corporate attire.
