Pass or Fail ?

Are Florida Everblades' holiday jerseys worst of 2010?
Please do not adjust the contrast settings on your screen: The ECHL's Florida Everblades wore these adventures in color on Friday night against the Greenville Road Warriors, losing the game and their dignity; and on Saturday night for their annual Teddy Bear Toss, which resulted in another defeat.
Puck Buddy Lady Byng sent over the images above featuring Blades forward Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll(notes) and Jared Staal(notes). From the Lady:
Aside from being a terrible neon green the socks match the jersey, even down to the happy holidays on the knees. It might be hard to see, but there's a snowflake pattern.
Here's the back of the sweater, via Naples Daily News:

Via Naples Daily News writer Woody Wommack:
"What do you think? Good or bad? Being from Oregon, and a lifelong Ducks fan, I'm all for experimentation with uniforms but I'm not even sure I can sign off on these..."
For comparison's sake, here's what the Blades usually wear. In defense of what we imagine will be the indefensible, the special sweaters might have come closer to working were it not for the gaudy "Happy Holidays" on the bottom of the jersey. (Oh, and seriously: Just have it read "Merry Christmas." Holly, lights, glass balls ... unless there's a dreidel on the fighting strap, let's not pretend it's a "holiday" jersey, mkay?)
So maybe a tweak here or there saves the effort; instead, the Florida Everblades look like a greeting card from the dollar store that was marinated in toxic waste.
We're pretty sure we already know the answer, but we'll ask anyway:

Washing Machine Accident

An Oregon family is devastated after a tragic accident took the life of their toddler. Tiffany Hebb was doing laundry, while her 21-month-old Ollie kept her company. When she left the room briefly, he crawled into the washing machine and drowned. A frantic Hebb found her son minutes later trapped in the water-filled basin and tried desperately to resuscitate him. After suffering severe brain damage, he died the following day in the hospital. "It was the worst day of my life," the grieving mother told a local Fox affiliate through tears. Now Tiffany and her husband Chris are on a mission to educate parents about the dangers of the seemingly innocuous household appliance. "I want to make mothers and fathers aware that it's a possibility," she said.
