Jersey Fouls remain our only regret that the lockout ever ended, as NHL arenas opened their doors to allow obvious and/or moronic wearers of befouled hockey sweaters back into the general fan population.

There were many, many new Fouls we covered in 2013. Here are the best of the worst.

10. Bettman Blows

Reader Susan sent this one from the Tampa Bay Lightning’s home opener, in which a season-ticket holder that normally rocks a Ryan Malone jersey decide to make a statement against the lockout.

9. Super Creative Wild Fans

From reader John, these Minnesota Wild fans presented one for the English major. From John: “Seen leaving Xcel - I get the sophomoric humor of the ‘Dyslexic’ jersey, but the ‘bassackwards’ confuses me since 66 backwards is... 66.”

8. Calgary’s Junk

Via Ryan Batty: “Here is a great foul for an Edmonton Oil Kings vs Calgary Hitmen game at Rexall. This guy was sitting beside someone wearing a ‘Calgary Blows’ jersey (another obvious foul), but this one caught my attention because I couldn't figure out if the apostrophe was a contraction or possessive.”

It’s possessive. And the junk is a vagina. Oh, Edmonton …

7. The ’69’ Sweater of the Year

The ‘69’ Jersey Foul remains the king of all deplorable Fouls. We honor one each season as the greatest example of their vile nature (i.e. the one that honestly made us chuckle, but one we must demonize). Courtney Fathers explains this one:

“Just saw this at the Joe, wish I had a better pic. The guy was moving fast thru the crowd. The number is 69, and the lettering is GODHEROV. Since we've had plenty of Russians in Detroit, the 'OV' threw me off momentarily...and then I pronounced it completely.”

6. The Crosby/Mario Matchup

A stupid mash-up that has as much place in this word as a ‘Jagklin’ jersey.
