Pink is the new Red (New pics)

Just when you thought Olympique Marseille's hideous neon uniforms, which were featured in the most recent You Write the Caption, were going to be the most shocking uniforms we'd see this season I now give you Sevilla's hot pink road uniforms, which they are wearing against Barcelona today.

Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with wearing pink, as Palermo can attest, these uniforms are just a bit loud.

What do you think of these hot pink unis? Share your thoughts below. (Some more pics after the jump

Hate to say I kinda like them, they definately stand out

And I thought Chelsea's electricity yellow kit was bad. Marseille and Sevilla put it to shame.

They are... a mistake. A very bad mistake.

How could you forget Sport Boys?

Not officially "hot pink", just pink.

This is hot pink.

Are these for real? Didn't "hot" any color go out of style in the 80's

Palermo's jerseys actually look pretty cool. Their pink/black combo is not as weak looking as one might think. However, don't expect any of these color combos to catch on in the states any time soon.

And please don't let Jim Rome or 98% of ESPN's sportscasters see this picture. That's like chumming the shark-infested waters around a kayak.

i am an american male, therefore pink jerseys are riduclous and suck.

i am an american male, and i think they are the new hotness. im trying to order mine right now.

To quote Lewis Black:

"Even the gays are saying...'It's out of control'."

Yikes.

Ugh. And I thought last years neon orange were bad.

Positive: Easy to pick out your players.

Negative: They look like hard candy wrappers. Metallic Red Sparkle would at least have them looking like chocalate candy.

Doesn't "rose" in italy lack the cultural baggage it has here in the usa and angle-land?

Please...

I was just telling a friend it seemed like pink was the only color not used in professional sports.

I stand very very corrected..........

One word for these uniforms...UGLY!

a man's sport! lol
