QuoteI like that Valencia one
My top ten (as detailed on my blog some time ago.)
10: Eintracht Frankfurt away shirt, 1993. 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. 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. 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. If you run this pattern through a waveform amplifier, it plays The Blue Danube. Probably.
6: Mexican national team, late 90s. Those crazy psychedelic Mexicans. Yes, that is supposed to be Montezuma leering out from beneath the red dye.
5: LKS Lodz, 1999. "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. 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. 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. It's beige. It's got a cowboy fringe. What more needs to be said?
1: Spora Luxembourg, early 90s. 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!
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

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

Anyone remember the Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos who designed his own shirts?
He also wore the number 9 as he originally started off his career as a striker.

Monstrosity of a Swiss shirt..

Can anybody else see the right hand side of a tigers face in that?.... just under the crest, can see the eye
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
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

The first UCD jersey I ever bought was the 1999/00 away jersey, 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 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.

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
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.
