Worst football kits across the globe

Every season, new team kits are made for fans and players of club football worldwide. A new design on the given home colour, and a amazing blend of contours and stripes on the away and third, prompting a busy flow of money among fans all set to get their hands on their team’s latest fashion statement.

However every season, a team can whiff when choosing a new kit design, some which become root of all criticism right away due to their ugly and eye soring designs.

This season, the amount of good and well designed kits were plenty but the author didn’t have much pain to isolate the odd ones out. Here is a list of the worst kits we have seen last year. There’s also a spot for you to decide on which one was the worst for you, so do mention it out in your comments.

1. Olympic Marseilles (Away)

Remember orange ‘Sherbet’ kits of ’07. Well, Marseilles have proved their worth of being the Lady Gaga in the world of football fashion, pushing the annoyance bar higher and higher. This year I would award them the Golden Raspberry Awards for their kit. Grow up people! Orange kit with horizontal strips of varying colors of blue? Looks like bar codes scribbled on a T-shirt.

2. Celtic F.C.( Away kit):

Now for those who followed the SPL, Celtic on away grounds looked like a bunch of swarming bees left around to buzz. Yellow and black have never blended in a more worse fashion to create this monstrosity, much to the criticism of their fans itself. A big thumbs down.

3. Girondins De Bordeaux (Away and third kit):

Given the fact that many teams including Manchester United have sported a better ‘V’, this away kit’s color combination is a real waste. Hazy patches and stripes also add on to the mess. But have a look at the alternate kit – Black and PINK! What sort of a fashion statement is that? The alternate kit indeed an eye sore.

4. Juventus (Third kit):

Juventus and Palermo have been known to carry the pink jerseys well. But this giant bold baby pink Jersey with an equally giant black star looks completely out of place. This one from the Old Lady of Turin has to be one of the most laughable kits of Serie A. Hope the Serie A champs are still trying to play football and not join the best “emo-punk” look competition?

5. Everton (Goalkeeper kit):

A military uniform of the US army? NO, it’s Tim Howard’s goalkeeping kit this season. Fans have wondered if the club planned to have strikers take a shot at the open goal only to find the invisible man appear out of nowhere to grab it? Food for thought!

6.Blackburn Rovers (Away Kit):

Bold canary yellow with black arms. Now isn’t that “referee-ish” ?

7.Werder Bremen (Away):

They had decent orange kits with some green two years ago, but this is some T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E experiment. All I can think of is pumpkins, and the jersey is bound to get your eyes tired with all the stripes.

8. Bolton Wanderers(Home):

Many would contradict me, but hey, its a football jersey not any NFL or Rugby stuff. Even though its nice to look at but once again, Bolton is a victim of Reebok’s experimentation.

9.<Your Choice>: Well that was a list of my favorites. Do share the kit which you feel is awful and you could burn it away with your own hands.
