10 worst football strips of all time

Yesterday Napoli rocked the terrible football strips world with their new third choice kit for this season – an all denim effort.

The Italians may be famed for leading the fashion world but the team from Naples may have taken things a little too far this time.

However, is the strip the very worst kit we have ever seen? We take a look at the 10 worst kits of all time.

10. Partick Thistle

Thistle have been known to produce a number of questionable strips, however, the away strip for the 2009/10 was particularly suspect. At the strip’s launch Thistle proudly boasted it was the first camouflage strip in world football to feature the colour pink.

I’m sorry guys, but I think there is a reason nobody else had already used pink camouflage.

9. Stockport County

One very general straight forward rule when it comes to designing a football strip is the fact that simple is stylish.

One or two colours and certainly only one decorative design are most certainly the order of the day. Clearly our good friends at Stockport County didn’t get that memo.

During the 1993/94 season The Hatters opted to mix reds, blues and whites with a blend of both hoops and zig zags – not a trend that we have seen repeated since. Anywhere.

8. Cameroon

Have you ever been playing football and got really annoyed with how your short sleeves kept getting in the way?

No? Neither have I.

However, it appears someone in Cameroon must have come across that problem because, for the 2002 World Cup, they opted to play in a sleeveless strip.

Unfortunately for the The Indomitable Lions, the strip brought them no luck and they crashed out in the first round of the competition.

7. Cameroon (again)

Yes, those chaps from Cameroon are back!

Having learnt their lesson from the failed sleeveless experiment in 2002, they brought back the sleeves for the 2004 African Cup of Nations, however, this time they played in a one piece strip.

Yes – shorts and top all in one. Why? We’re not entirely sure and neither were FIFA who demanded Cameroon revert to a more traditional kit and even fined the Cameroon FA for continuing to wear the strip after FIFA banned it. As well as the fine, Cameroon were docked six 2006 World Cup points for wearing the strip.

The Cameroon FA appealed the punishment and after months of arguing the issue was resolved out of court and Cameroon got their points back but it was a rather expensive mistake of a strip on a number of levels.

6. England

Cameroon need not worry though, they are certainly not the only international team to embarrass themselves.

Playing on the international stage, in front of a home crowd, Euro 1996 should have been the proudest moment of David Seaman’s career.

However, forced to wear this quite ridiculous strip, it turned out to be one of the most embarrassing experiences of his playing days.

5. Mexico

As bad as some of the kit manufacturers’ designs may be, Mexico goalkeeper Jorge Campos showed us all why players should never be allowed to design their own strips.

The Mexican number one was given permission to design his own strip for the 1994 World Cup and he certainly enjoyed himself doing just that.

The kit is colourful, very colourful. But unfortunately, that is about the only positive thing we can say about it.

4. Coventry

How many brown football strips can you think of?

Not many? Well, Coventry showed us all why there are not too many of them around.

Their 1978 brown effort survived any mudbath well but that truly was the only positive – other than that – this was a terrible, terrible strip.

3. Club Deportivo Lugo

While Coventry’s effort may have been brown, gloomy and unattractive, Club Deportivo Lugo were guilty of the exact opposite.

This summer the Spanish outfit launched a very tasty looking strip – modelled on a pint of lager! Unfortunately, I think think we can all agree the design looks better sitting on a bar than it does running around a football pitch.

2. Cultural Leonesa

Who better to play against a pint of beer than a man dressed in a tuxedo?

This summer, Spanish Segunda B outfit Cultural Leonesa unveiled a new black and white strip but this wasn’t any black and white design – this strip makes the players look like they were each playing in a stylish tuxedo.

1. Colorado Caribous

Sometimes words just cannot do a terrible strip justice.

Colorado Caribous. Enough said.
