Starting May 27, log onto the Tribune site here to enter our Ugly Tie Contest for a chance to win a dozen new ones from makers like Nautica, Bird Dog Bay, Ike Behar and Ermenegildo Zegna. (Photos and descriptions of the prize ties are on the form, too.)I’ll post the photos of the entrants here, so you can see the worst of the worst. … Thane Walton of Mesa entered all three of these ties. Of the one on the left, he says: "Can you believe I actually purchased this for my engagement photo in 1981? Luckily for me the photographer vetoed it." The center tie: "Sometime in the ’90s I saw this and wore it with pride for about three years before my senses caught up with me." The one on the right: "I thought all the various color schemes would match anything I had."Does this count as double? John Frederick of Chandler’s entry has matching suspenders, too. (To see the full effect, click here.) "My daughter from Oregon sent it … to me for Father’s Day several years ago," he says. "She thought they were wonderful so I couldn’t disappoint her and wore them often."
