Has a modmin collapsed this morning and is lying prone across the Greenlight button?

Because someone needs to summon help. Now.

Really? The author is going to rag on the uniforms of the Swiss Guard?

Seriously?

Yeah, I stopped reading at that insta-fail.

Fourthed.

Sure...go ahead. Laugh at their hilarious, stripey clown pants. See what happens.

You read my mind: they also have Baretta pistols (I belive 93Rs, which are
machine pistols) in holsters hidden in the folds of their poofy pants.

I pity the fool who makes fun of them for their uniforms.

...Or for any other reason, really.

Hell, I may have a dim view of organized religion, but based on the sort of training, history and responsibilities those guys have? I'd sooner f*ck with the Secret Service.

Pretty much this.

Failed in one.

No, that "article" was a special kind of fail and disappointment.

I swear I've seen that outfit on someone else before. Did Molotov Cocktease wear it in an episode of Venture Bros? Or maybe there was an homage in a video game?

That list sucked. Nothing wrong with a lot of those.

I gotta go with the field and say that the Swiss Guards uniform is all kinds of awesome.
 
2012-01-05 01:16:52 PM
Terrible list, setup as a slideshow, and the captions took up the entire picture.

/formatting?

that list sucked nuts


Vatican guard??? are you freaking kidding me?

Doormen look bad ass.

MLB managers get paid more than enough to tolerate their uniform. Part of a bad uniform is the humiliation of not making a decent wage.

Postal workers look fine, sure it is not the latest in contemporary hipster-trash, but really, what the hell is wrong with tucking your shirt in?

Door-to-door mormons are too busy thinking about what they will name their future planet/spirit baby making factory to give a crap about their gear.


Things that come to my mind:
1) the old Navy dungarees, the kind with the denim jeans with two tiny front pockets that was phased out somewhere around 98. One of the worst uniforms in the free world.
2)The poor fools who have to work at Hotdog On A Stick. Reminds me of the Vatican guard, minus the halberd and sub-machine gun.

I just saw this was an AOL link from oct 2011, never mind.

What needed to be said about TFA has been said. We're done here.
 
2012-01-05 02:08:58 PM
could someone post a list or working link?

I'm an idiot, and can only see the Swiss Guard uniform. I'm assuming there is more than one, since the article is titled the 10 worst.

but it's AOL, so you never know...

There is an arrow on the right side of the photo you can click.

Hover over the image to get the arrows.

And I agree with the article. Bad-ass or not, the Swiss Guard unis are rediculous.

He'd really hate the Tilted Kilt uniforms then.

We need a reality TV show pitting members of the Pope's Swiss Guard against SAS and Seal units in a variety of bad-ass challenges.

jayfurr: We need a reality TV show pitting members of the Pope's Swiss Guard against SAS and Seal units in a variety of bad-ass challenges.

I don't think the Swiss Guard is quite in the same category; they do mostly police
work and guard duty. That said, though, I am sure they'd give your average SEAL
or Commando a good fight.

I think it's a slideshow, but the page design is so confoundingly bad I can't say with any certainty.

As far as you know.
The truth -- and the number of secret raids on Anglican church jumble sales in the Cotswolds of England -- may be orders of magnitude greater than you can possibly imagine.

Doesn't the fact that pretty much everyone in here agrees that members of the Swiss Guard are badass highlight just how embarrassing the uniforms are? Just because they could kick all of our asses at once doesn't mean that their work attire isn't at least a little bit silly.

What they are saying, is that they are so bad, they don't need to some black uniform with little skulls on it to look bad. In fact they can wear these poofy uniforms and still be super bad, they are that bad.

Shouldn't the Vatican have a little more faith that God will protect them?

What a lovely little article. How cute, the writer trying to be all Blackwell-esque about uniforms. Shame they failed horribly.

omg bbq: MLB managers get paid more than enough to tolerate their uniform. Part of a bad uniform is the humiliation of not making a decent wage.

MLB managers where those uniforms out of tradition. There used to be a team captain instead of a manager (the manager in the early days was a finance guys, not a coach). Baseball is one of the few sports where the coach/manager routinely goes on the field of play instead of calling time outs and bringing players in, so it makes more sense.

This is just the kind of attitude the Swiss Guards are counting on....

/Clothing as psychological warfare, this is how that works.
