Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
Ugliest design or in ugly condition? Sounds like fun!

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
Here is the rarest Nebraska can ever produced...She would never win a beauty contest against the Storz Farmer or Winterbru flats....Few cone collectors have one...

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
I'll take a picture when I get home, unless someone wants to help me out. The green and orange Garden State can from Hammonton (yes I know there were two). As an added attraction, the beer inside was every bit as ugly as the can was on the outside.

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
Columbia Ale, for it's over simplistic design and poor color selection.

Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
A few to nominate. The L &M is just an ugly pairing of colors. The two others are just so plain they are ugly
. The Hammonton, NJ cans are made with absolutely no design and are almost the flat top equivalent of the 1970's generic beers.

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
I don't know if cans from USBC II are elegible, and I don't want to nominate too many, but these two are the "cream of the crop" from the tab cans--although truth be told, there are A LOT of cans from Vl. 2 that could be considered.
The Urho cans is the absolute worst can. A hideous pairing of color and design. It is almost revolting to gaze upon--kind of a Medusa of beer cans.
The fighting Irish cans looks like a monkey in an Irish costume. Like a 7 year old made the design. Maybe the graphic designer didn't like Norte Dame....?

Re: Ugliest Can Tournament Nominations
It's tough to find 30's cans for this list and I actually sort of like this can. But I think it deserves a nomination here, especially when contrasted with the early black, yellow and silver design. What were they thinking?
