Ranking soccer's all-time 39 worst kits
After compiling and ranking the best 101 soccer kits ever, it was only fair that we once again enlisted ESPN's soccer writers and editors from around the globe to help rank the worst designs ever to grace a football pitch.Get more news about Replica Soccer Jersey,you can vist futbolucl!
But 101 of them? Come on, no one deserves that, no matter how much you love to loathe them. So we've narrowed it down to 39, which is right on the limit of how many abhorrent designs we can handle in one place.
In the ranking, we have taken into account kits from club and national teams and have considered their home, away and alternate third uniforms.Marseille's motto, perched under the club crest, translates to "Straight to the point." So we'll get right to it here: this kit is awful. You know when your printer starts to run out of ink and the document ends up with hideous lines across it? Well, that's exactly what this orange-and-blue striped mess by Adidas looks like. They did reach the Champions League quarterfinals wearing this, though, so we'll call it even.
Wearing camouflage is always a bold choice and rarely pays off for anyone who isn't a hunter or an active member of the armed forces. The footballing gods clearly agree because the first time Bastia wore this kit was at Paris Saint-Germain, where they were beaten 4-0, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring an iconic backheel volley and Edinson Cavani slinking through the defence and around the goalkeeper. Hardly surprising, as none of the Bastia players could see each other. Incredibly, Bastia's away kit the next season was also a camo design. Why won't people learn?
Mexican sports brand Pirma designed a shirt that resembles the screen of a laptop after it crashes under the weight of too many spam pop-ups. The disastrous pattern has not one, not two, but five sponsor logos on the front, including the pièce de résistance -- a huge ad featuring a construction worker across the stomach for a cement company.
The colour of this kit, described as "lightning pink" by manufacturer Le Coq Sportif, was meant to make the players more visible to each other. It was also inspired by the club's kit from the 1890-91 season, when the Toffees won their first of nine league titles. Midfielder Leon Osman admitted it "caused a bit of a stir in the dressing room" and was a "brave" design, while the club's chief executive Robert Elstone said at the time: "We want this new kit to help take Everton to the next level." They won four away games that season.
The red-and-blue shoulders against a black template on this kit, released for the Copa America Centenario tournament, was something of a departure from the predominantly blue or red kits the United States usually wore for their road colours. The U.S. hosted the tournament and finished in fourth place ahead of some South American heavyweights, but this kit was never worn again.
