Football shirt hall of shame

[Pauro 76]

Post up pics of your worst ever shirts of all time, any team, any league! Here's just a few...

Arsenal, early 90s, the classic bruised banana!

Chelsea, mid 90s horror. Whoever through grey and orange was a good combo?

Never mind the 80s, 90s seems to be where football shirt design lost it's head. Mad Birmingham city design here.

Norwich City's infamous flecked effort. They beat the mighty Bayern Munich in this effort too... eww.

Leeds had something similar in the early 90's,one in blue and another in yellow

[Lionel Ritchie]

I remember the Leeds one. Looked like the wearer had puked a pizza down their front.

Here's the infamous Coventry City "Chocolate Brown" effort.

Forest, 90s away kit. Horrendous.

Celtic's tribute to the current stock market.

This'll be the Leeds one in question..

Coventry are resurrecting the 'brown classic' kit as a modern kit for today apparantly!

the very one Pauro,it adorned my bedroom wall for many a year,great to look at when you were tripping:D:D

Man U 1996. They lost 5-0 to Newcastle and 6-3 to Southamption because the players 'couldn't see each other' according to Ferguson.

And not a great 1998 effort from Leeds United either:

Dear God.

Looks like a Jackson Pollack.

Not football ones I know but Stade Francais have had a few awful ones:

That Dundee one is defo the worst though.

[Rovers fan]

More stade francais

[SligoBrewer]

I love all the Stade shirts. I have one of the more modest blue ones
:)
Actually, i think i might get myself the fist one there. That is deadly.

Interesting fact, Stade have a football team.

Helenio Herrera played for them

[strangeirish]

Helenio Herrera played for themWouldn't be surprised if Boy George played for them too, with gear that looked like that!:D

[Sheridan]

My top ten (as detailed on my blog some time ago.)


10: Eintracht Frankfurt away shirt, 1993 (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2339269_5633022.jpg). Because gold, red, white and blue are such complementary colours, even before you splash arbitrary squiggles on the ****ing thing.


9: Valencia away shirt, 1985. (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2339253_3037690.jpg) All the sins of the eighties in one convenient bundle. Horrible coarse, stretchy fabric, sleeves a trained worm would have trouble negotiating and just to top it off, that inexplicable blue shawl.


8: ESV Greifswald, circa 2000 (http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2339512_842759.jpg). I refuse to believe this was the result of anything other than a print roller slipping its moorings and being too expensive to replace. No other explanation makes sense.


7: Shimizu S-Pulse, 1995. (http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335827_493949.jpg) If you run this pattern through a waveform amplifier, it plays The Blue Danube. Probably.


6: Mexican national team, late 90s (http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335825_4446338.jpg). Those crazy psychedelic Mexicans. Yes, that is supposed to be Montezuma leering out from beneath the red dye.


5: LKS Lodz, 1999. (http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335929_6896550.jpg) "Okay guys, we need a special commemorative shirt to mark our first championship since 1948, ideas?" "How about a sort of vertical stripe interchanging with chequerboard motif, with a white gap in the middle so it looks like the sponsor's logo is bursting from the wearer's ribcage á la Alien?" "I love it!"


4: Atletico Madrid away shirt, 2004 (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2336130_2827773.jpg). Nothing gets my goat like superhero films,crass commercialism, and ugly football shirts, so combine the three and you have an entire herd of palsied and frothing goats. This abomination was designed to advertise the then newly-released Spiderman 2. After one game, UEFA quite rightly told Atletico and Columbia Pictures to go **** themselves with a hedgehog.


3: VFL Bochum, 1995 (http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335824_2157880.jpg). At least only one quarter of the shirt was rainbow-coloured. We wouldn't want to be silly, would we?


2: Colorado Caribous, mid-70s. (http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335823_6772452.jpg) It's beige. It's got a cowboy fringe. What more needs to be said?


1: Spora Luxembourg, early 90s. (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2578/11/32/698265675/n698265675_2335826_8361538.jpg) How about this for an overdose of what-the-shuddering-****? The broad interrupted stripes make my head spin. The lurid primary colours set my eyelid twitching. The less said about the white wedge thing, the better. But what really drives me over the edge is the beehive/cobweb/old lady's pashmina pattern on the sleeves. Christ on stilts, we have a winner!

[Burny89]

I like that Valencia one

[Pauro 76]

Some nice obscurities there Sheridan! Trying to think of LoI monstrosities, but can't find any pics. Shelbourne's flecked effort in the early 90s spring to mind.

Pony had some awful 90s kits, this'll be the pick of them.

http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/fans_shirts/extra_football_shirt_503_1.jpg

This Fiorentina kit looked bad enough, but worse if you consider there seems to be swastikas in the design!

[Rovers1]

i like the Southampton one!

[Pauro 76]

i like the Southampton one!

Everything about it screams wrong to me, the dodgy colour, that ugly v, not proper stripes etc... Literally Pony.

Joma make some horrors...

Anyone remember the Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos who designed his own shirts?

http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/1670/campfren.jpg

He also wore the number 9 as he originally started off his career as a striker.

Can anybody else see the right hand side of a tigers face in that?.... just under the crest, can see the eye:D

Would put a team off as when there looking at the player in front of them they start to see weird things in the shirt

The first UCD jersey I ever bought was the 1999/00 away jersey (http://www.stigonline.com/ucd/jerseys.htm), the Tony the Tiger effort. I like it for nostalgic reasons. That is all! Fortunately, at the time, Dundalk and Monaghan had the exact same design with different colours, so we didn't feel too silly.

Cork had a couple of horrible ones (http://www.corkcityfc.ie/images/kits.gif) in the early 90s; the one with the striped/not striped shorts looked bad, while the middle one of the 1990-92 jerseys looks far worse in real life. I think it's also missing a black, red, green and white striped kit. Rovers had that purple warbley affair in the mid 90s too. But yeah, can't find too many pictures.

2000 one with all the stars is quite bad! I remember the Cork City adidas ones, a bit hit or miss. The one with the large adidas logo stripes going across the entire shirt looked pretty sh!te.
