Ugly School Uniform Color Combos

I've seen some visual nightmares over the past few years, brown and yellow is right near the top, followed closely by baby blue and maroon. Were all the other options taken? Lol. Seems to be a bigger issue for the primary schools, most of the high school uniforms are either blue or black (darker colors to coordinate).
Any of you hate your school uniform or see some unfortunate ones?

Kids uniform is red jumpers, dark blue jacket, navy skirt/trousers, or school tartan kilt, white shirt and tartan tie, red green blue mix, lovely and smart
Sounds quite nice, I am a big fan of purple myself
Primary school, brown and yellow, by parental vote - so sixties and that carried on.
Secondary - Grey and Grey and navy
And Navy, Navy and blue, which was slightly better. The big grey pants at the first school were awesomely ugly.
Which is why Catholic girls school uniforms tend to be amongst the very worst.
Primary/junior was nice too ................girls yellow and navy thick stripe (with navy clothing) boys light blue and navy stripe.
Just looked it up - here it is!
I remember another school's was maroon and brown. Haha.
I went to a convent school and we had bottle green but with lots of colours on the tie and scarf. They were really bright.
I quite liked it tbh!
Black tunic (proper St. Trinian's style!), white shirt, white socks, black shoes, black blazer and red/blue striped tie for 1st and 2nd years and dark blue pleated shirt for 3rd upwards. Same colours for boys except they had black trousers. Oh, and we had a navy blue pullover.
We had an optional summer uniform of cotton dresses in blue and sports gear in blue and grey.
I've seen some horrendous colour schemes round and about, magenta is particularly depressing (as a uniform colour).
The best thing was the school greatcoat though. It was in a sort of dark charcoal, and man that thing was warm.
The kids all had matching polo shirts and baseball caps and the colours were terrific and a refreshing change from English school colours. Each school had their own colours so they were easily identified.
One school was in tangerine, another in lime green, one in turquoise, one in scarlet, bright yellow et . They looked wonderful and very smart.
Secondary school - black trousers and white shirt with a maroon and gold striped tie. Just before I left they introduced a horrible maroon jumper and yellow polo shirt combo but it was still optional at that time. Prefects - fifth and six year - got to wear a solid maroon tie which I thought was the coolest thing ever and I was ridiculously pleased with myself when they (foolishly, it turns out) appointed me to that exalted position.
