Ugliest Jumpsuit

[elvispresleytheking]

I just wanted to get some opinion on your least favorite Elvis jumpsuits. I'm not attaching a poll. because there are too many options, so just post your thoughts.

The V-Neck is my leeast favorite.

[ehollier]

Uumph :hmm:...... he looked so good in everything, but as far as jumpsuits go, my least favorite is the Gypsy suit (also tied with Chicken Rib Jumpsuit (aka) Black Aztec or Bear Claw (1975-76) which was the same style), something about the way the top is made, the u-shaped neckline, dark colors, just the whole thing has never been my favorite.......this is a good picture of The King, but just don't go for the jumpsuit.......

i'm not fused on the v neck suit.

[hexia]

The gypsy suit and the bearclaw suit are hands down my least favorite suits. Too much circus for my taste. I've heard somebody tell that the suits were wonderful when you saw them live and that may be.
To me, they are just way too much.

Hmmm? :hmm:He looked beutiful in everything, but my fav ELVIS 'jumpsuit'
- ELVIS in 'folwer shirt' - from TTWII :supriced:(y)(y)(y);):D

[epmoodyblue]

no he did not look besutiful in everything.....without a doubt..if a poll was taken the dreaded v-neck thingy is the ugliest ever....the worst creation ever made.....not because of the weight issue..it was plain uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(n)...had elvis used this when he was in top form still same result..uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. .....tragic that elvis had to use this outfit for his largest crowd of his career ever in pontiac dec 31-75..close to 65.000 peeps must of had a good chuckle when they saw the dreaded v neck ....happy new year wwith a clown outfit.. you figure he would wear a specail jumpsuit for that special ocassion at the silverdome..no we get the aslo kinda ugly rainfall jumper ..splits his pants and he goes and change into the dreaded v-neck yo finish the concert:blink: eh we will leave it at that..enough said about this laugher of a jumper:lmfao::cold::newyear:..2nd ugliest would be the penguin suit worn in vegas 75....but i dont think this was really meant to be used as stage wear....freakin ugly:lol:

[boogie]

indeed the v-neck isn't my fav...
to me the same for the bicentennial suits, never liked them..

[goodelvisgirl]

well elvis was stylish but some of those jumpsuits were just plain wrong here are a few examples the gypsy suit was too much it made him look like a circus clown the penguin well made him look like a penguin not a good look the flame was just to wrong for words as for the aztec suit its like the gypsy suit it screams circus

[epmoodyblue]

[goodelvisgirl]

yup have to agree with you i liked the bicentennial suits and i have to agree with you folks on the v neck jumpsuit what was he thinking when he chose to wear that

[epmoodyblue]

yup have to agree with you i liked the bicentennial suits and i have to agree with you folks on the v neck jumpsuit what was he thinking when he chose to wear thateven the belt was ugly too....obviosly the sleves kill it off completely..there are really no good points to be made about this jumpsuit---or should i say pyjama.:blink:

[Diane]

Actually although I find the Gypsy and Bear Claw suits a bit much, I do tend to like them as he really looked happy during that time he wore them...and very mischievous.

The suit I've always really disliked was the Flame suit.

Never really cared for the V-Neck suit w/ puffed sleaves. To me, it looked like he was wearing bed pajamas. (n)

[IM4Elvis]

I actually love the "gypsey" and "bear claw" suits (saw them live and they were awesome). My least favorite in that blue rainbow jumspuit. Looks like it was never finished.

The question was "Least Favorite Jumpsuit"....not favorite jumpsuit (and the white flower shirt outfit is just a casual outfit - not a jumpsuit).

Having said that....my least favorite suit would be the V-Neck With Puffy Sleeves and Mexican Sundial suit - especially the Mexican Sundial suit by 1977! It looked ok on him during October of '74 when he first wore it in Lake Tahoe, NV but by 1977 it just made him look larger than he actually was. :blink::doh:

[mozzarella]

Blue Rainbow and the Flame suit would be my choices. The Mad Tiger suit also looks a bit weird to me for some reason... maybe the head of the tiger is somewhat funny... Looks like a kid's pyjama of the Jungle Book.

[WHITETIGERMAN]

I did not like the V-Neck either.......also The Penguin.There are a few others.....I'll post them when I get the chance.

[utmom2008]

I agree with you completely.....it was gawdy and tacky. It looked like something from Ringling Brothers Circus.:blink:(n)

[epmoodyblue]

:hmm:i also dont like the ladder jumpsuit from 70 i believe?.......looks really cheap:blink:

[epmoodyblue]

:hmm:who designed the dreaded:lol:v neck suit?......im not making fun of elvis never would do that..just cant believe elvis would accept to wear such a suit......what happened to the good taste he had for clothes?.....also at that time he had to take his weight in consideration.i mean when he tried the suit on for the first time looking in the mirror what was he thinking.... an outfit that kinda covers up some excess bagage..noy one that displays it even more..:blink::blink::blink:..one of the biggest elvis mysteries we will never solve:lmfao::lol:

[john carpenter]

IMO the "Bear Claw" looked good. I believe he was going for a native american look in that suit. But, the colored one that looked like Walt Disney thew up! NAH!:lmfao:

:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao: (y)(y)(y)(y) :notworthy

[rickb]

I love the bizarre look of the Bear Claw suit from 75.
The V-neck was a plain design and nothing too bad about it, except it was too tight on an expanding Elvis
The prehistoric bird suits, particularly the blue one, were pretty darn ugly

[KPM]

Did not like the Penguin suit.

[epmoodyblue]

Did not like the Penguin suit.:lol:another hopeless suit or whatever it was ..elvis looked like..... well a penguin:lmfao::lol:thank god only the vegas peeps got to see that horrible outfit(n)

[goodelvisgirl]

lol the poor elvis if only he could see himself now imagine showing th grandkids those pics what kind of explanation could he give

[goodelvisgirl]

good idea try and get the penguin and the gypsy suit put away along with it nobody needs those flaunted around the v neck now i know where michel jackson got the idea of wearing pajamas outside from lol

[midnight]

I also do not like that V neck jumpsuit. It really do look like pajamas. Then there is the Bear Claw suit which is so over done. I mean all these bones around the neckline.... kind of reminded me of something from the Flintstones!

[elvispresleytheking]

OK, the gypsy is actually one of my favs. (Please don't shoot me!)
The V-Neck really does look like something he would wear to bed.
Bicentennial suits are ugly as well.

[dannyboy1]

I've never cared much for the Inca Gold Leaf. I like large motifs like Peacock, Tiger, Phoenix, Dragon etc.. but to me the Inca Gold Leaf just looks like a lot of small colours making up a mosaic of...nothing.

I love the "Egyptian" studded version so much more, my peronal fav. from 1973 (yes, even over Aloha)

[Tony Trout]

Actually, I did say that I disliked the Mexican Sundial suit with my first sentence - I just emphasized the dislike for the way it made him look by 1977.

[Leroy]

I hate this topic. It has a very negative approach. What good is it to mention the things that you hate or dislike ? Wouldn't it be better to find common ground in more positive things?

[epmoodyblue]

Wouldn't it be better to find common ground in more positive things?yeah well my friend..its the christmas feeling.. were just lightening things up.....and there is nothing wrong with this thread.there are many who dislike some of elvis jumpsuits..certainly no disrespect 4 elvis i love the dude ..always will..yeah i hate the v neck lots:lmfao:...but hey if someone would of given me aticket to see elvis do a concert in that suit i would of been happy to sit in the front row...i would of enjoyed the show 4 sure....then i would of wispered to elvis to please dont put on that jumper ever again. your a king not a clown and then tell him also to get a new designer for his outfits......obviosly the v neck is the ultimate low point in elvis stage wear... erll we can throw in the penguin thingy also:lol:.happy holidays to all:notworthy:king::newyear:

[epmoodyblue]

Lets be honest as soon as Elvis started to gain weight he looked silly in jump suits, so for me they all looked bad after 73.

[epmoodyblue]

Lets be honest as soon as Elvis started to gain weight he looked silly in jump suits, so for me they all looked bad after 73.well i wont use the word silly..lets just say he shouldint of used jumpsuits on stage when the weight gain started...in 73 he was okay.... he was okay up until june 74 tour......problems really began in oct 74 he put on lots of weight and sadly it continued until the end..there were flashes of recovery like in oct 76 till dec 76 actually he looked better in oct 76 than oct 74..neways his weight was never stable ...after oct 74.and we wil leave it at that.....but elvis was always king no matter what(y)so im off topic here so enough said --peace

[utmom2008]

well i wont use the word silly..lets just say he shouldint of used jumpsuits on stage when the weight gain started...in 73 he was okay.... he was okay up until june 74 tour......

I agree with you on this point. I was at the Astrodome for the March of '74 shows with front row seats...so when he came by in the jeep he was just an arm's length away, and he looked like a million bucks.(y)

[elvispresleytheking]

lets just say he shouldint of used jumpsuits on stage when the weight gain started...in 73 he was okay.... he was okay up until june 74 tour......problems really began in oct 74

I agree with that, but he still looked good in jumpsuits in Aug. 1975

[epmoodyblue]

I agree with that, but he still looked good in jumpsuits in Aug. 1975agree.course he put on some weight. so what ..still elvis always looked beautiful right up unril the end(y).....so i hate the v neck jumper with a passion.:lol:.the weight thingy made no difference for me...young elvis middleage elvis .onstage .always king always the best:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notwo rthy:notworthy
