Title: Football kits: 13 of the most weird and horrendous jerseys in history
1Football kits 13 of the most weird and
horrendous jerseys in history
2- Nottingham Forest decked
- themselves out in this garish 'Jackson
- Pollock' number away from home
- between 1995 and 1997, recalls
- iposter. Indeed, they wore it in the
- Quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup in the
- 95-96 season, when they were
- dispatched 7-2 on aggregate by the
- eventual winners, Bayern Munich.
3- How could we forget this one?
- Like a Magic Eye book, it might
- take you a minute to spot what was
- going on in this Fiorentina design
- from 1992-93 yep, that's right, a
- few dozen swastika-style lines were
- 'accidentally' incorporated into
- what the manufacturers called
- 'an optical effect'.
4- Many of you wrote about this tiger-
- print kit that we felt obliged to dig it
- up. Presumably all Hull's future kits
- will be like this now the owner,
- Assem Allam, has changed the
- club's name to Hull City Tigers
- against fans Wishes.
5- Anyone thinking the 90s was the most
- visually offensive era for kit design should
- have a look at Liverpool's recent efforts. If
- this one isn't bad enough, their third kit is
- Split into thirds. The days of the classic
- Crown Paints kit are long gone.
6- Bilbao became a home for Spanish
- arts when Frank Gehry's
- Guggenheim Museum opened in
- 1997. Seven years later, to mark the
- local football club's centenary,
- Basque artist Dario Urzay, inspired
- by works he'd seen at the museum,
- designed this splatter-effect football
- kit - as highlighted by Richmutey.
7- UncleFester proposed Barcelona's
- 'Sunny Delight away kit as a
- contender for the worst design - or
- The most thirst-inducing. More
- shocking, perhaps, was their kit 12
- months earlier when They ended
- their long and admirable refusal to
- Wear corporate sponsorship on
- their shirts.
8- OpiumEater reminds us of VfL
- Bochum's technicolour attire from
- 1997. Handy as it is to wear a paint
- chart, the idea didn't stick. Not that
- Bochum's kits have improved this
- Distressed design is rather, umm,
- Distressing.
9- In the long and unglamorous history of awful
football kits, no one - Has ever dared create a kit that looks like a
stick of broccoli until - this one. La Hoya Lorca, who were in the Spanish
Tercera Division, - unveiled this outrageous kit last season. The
club is based in Murcia, - 'the vegetable garden of Spain' justification
of sorts for a truly
bizarre design. They went on to win the league
last season and, fittingly, they've released
another broccoli-based design this season.
10- Coventry City have been much
- derided for their infamous brown
- 'egg-timer' kit of the 1970s, often
- cited as the worst kit of all time,
- but this supposedly ingenious
- design, worn from 1981-83,
- trumps even that one. The
- Brainchild of former manager
- Jimmy Hill, it incorporated the
- sponsor's logo into the kit design,
- giving the brand extra emphasis.
11- Goalkeepers jerseys have a rich
- tradition of being garish. But none
- Could beat this one, a fluorescent
- Count Dracula effort, designed and
- Worn by Mexico's goalkeeper Jorge
- Campos at the 1994 World Cup.
12- Here's an unusual design with an interesting
premise. SC - Heereveen's kit is based on the Frisian flag, the
official flag of the - Dutch province of Friesland. The seven red
Pompeblêd seal lily - leaves symbolise seven independent regions from
Medieval times.
13- Recreativo opted for a polkadot away kit last
season and what's - most surprising is that Danish manufacturing
legends Hummel were - responsible for it. It was predictably mocked for
looking like it was - inspired by Minnie Mouse.
14- Japanese side Shimizu S-Pulse have
- a habit of wearing eye-popping
- kits this effort, from 2001, is
- among of collection of bright
- orange designs featuring world
- maps across the chest. Also the
- subtle camouflage pattern in the
- background
