Sports Illustrated Magazine is a name that has been in the media biz for ages, with its very first edition being released back in 1954. And it got even smarter when they decided to add a swimsuit edition to the mix, with the very first one being released in 1964, one that was considered highly controversial and taboo in those earlier days too of course. But nothing sells magazines better than controversy, right? And Sports Illustrated isn’t one to cower when it comes to pushing the limits. While the entire publication was originally intended to be ‘marketed to the sportsman,’ the Swimsuit Edition added even more fuel to the fire and gathered major attention every chance it got, especially those editions that were extra risqué!

Here are 29 of the most controversial sports illustrated photos we’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. And yes, you can thank us later.
