Ranking the 5 worst football kits of 2021-22 season

#3 West Ham Away Kit

That's the closest we recommend you get to the West Ham third kit

It is difficult to guess exactly what the plan was with this one, but "attracting eyeballs" was evidently not on the list. This is clearly not the best way to celebrate West Ham United's comeback to the Europa league. Though they finished in the top six last season, this jersey is clearly fighting a relegation battle of its own.

Perhaps this is one jersey where applying those secondary brown-colored stripes on the sleeve ends would have helped, but West Ham chose to place those thin lines just above. The kit has been manufactured by Umbro, who have not produced the most impressive jobs and ruined further by the sponsors Betway. The Sky Blue stripes are quite light in shade and it's a contrast that doesn't quite appeal with the white.

West Ham's famed claret has been fixed at the split collar and above the sleeve cuffs. The sky blue shorts and white socks are definitely complementing the shirt for the worse. When you really focus on getting the striped pattern wrong, you can really get it wrong.

#Juventus Third Kit

Cristiano Ronaldo posses in Juventus third kit

As his parting present, Cristiano Ronaldo gave Juventus a photoshoot in their third jersey. A loose piece of artwork that is best left on its own in the shopping stores. Clearly in the picture itself, Ronaldo has an expression as if to say, "This better get over soon". You can't blame the superstar for feeling that way.

The jersey looks a blend of two, as if they have been intelligently masked over one another, but it's just a very awkward color combination to start with. Adidas even mixed colors in their logo, making it half yellow and half white. The jersey presents Adidas' ventilated V-neck collar design. Juventus received a horrendous response on social media for their third kit.

The kit aims to celebrate Juventus' golden reign of 1990s. But honestly it's just a disastrous giant patchwork with giant color blocks. Fair to say Adidas just pulled a Nike out of the hat this time. Perhaps, Juventus' third kit contributed just as much as Sir Alex Ferguson in Ronaldo's return to Manchester United.

#1 Tottenham Hotspur Third Kit

Tottenham's third kit has been doing the rounds as the worst jersey of this season

When the disappointment of falling from the Champions League to the Europa League and then to the Conference League hits you hard, you come up with such a jersey. At first glance, it feels like someone spilled purple ink by mistake over a newspaper. Even though Nike tried to make it look edgy, they only ended up making it untidy.

Designers at Nike probably have a misconception about what eye-catchy is. Daniel Levy must have gone to Harry Kane's contract negotiations wearing this jersey when the new season began. No wonder the England captain wants out

In an appreciable gesture, Tottenham allowed young artists who had been attending workshops at Tottenham Textiles to pair up with Nike's designers and come up with this jersey. The kit aims to express the vibrant vibe of the Spurs neighborhood. The jerseys are made from 100 per cent recycled polyester fiber.

But it is safe to say this looks like an accident, a forgetable one too.
