The worst football kit ever

    Worse....kit......ever 

    Most bad kits tend to be the away ones, where to an extent the designers have more leeway to be left field. To produce a bad home kit is far worse!

    Truly abysmal, coupled with the worst sponsor we've had. 
    I thought the away kit that season was worse. The home one weirdly grew on me but the away was and still is atrocious
    Both terrible. The away was an awful attempt to recreate the white Quasar/Viglen classic. 
  • The home kit of ours that I hate the most was the Allsports one from the Bart Williams era. It mostly looks fine in a picture but the white piping didn’t make sense, it just stopped mid-shirt. It didn’t hang right either.

  • Our top 5 worst home shirts (in my opinion) 

    1. Just a mess. 


    2. Dreadful effort for centenary shirt with kiddy size sponsor. 



    3. Upgrade on the centenary but must've taken all of 30 seconds to think up. 


    4. Too much white, another Nike template design. 


    5. Not exactly awful but it's just a polo shirt. No white trim.

    I found an old CAFC programme lying around once. I think it was from around 89 or so. In his notes, Lennie Lawrence complained that our grey away kit was making it hard for the players to see each other! 
    Indeed, 88/89 season.  It was particularly bad under the exceedingly dreadful floodlights at the old den on 2 January.  The Charlton players on the far side of the pitch were almost invisible.  We lost.

    Shocker!
  • @Talal I really like 3 and 5.!

    I understand why 5 gets a bit of stick, it was a catalogue shirt (like the rest of those Nike ones) and the wrong shade of red, but the collar makes it classy. No.1 is an absolute pice of shit though.

    That's fair enough, expect everyone's list would be a bit different. 
  • Worst aways and thirds (I'm bored). Love the Quasar shirts, they'd be in my top 5!

    1. Just hate that pair of kits. 


    2. My eyes. 


    3. Djimi Traore and Amdy Faye wore this. 


    4. Sash is too palace. 


    5. Didn't expect to include a Hummel shirt but this one just doesn't work. Looks like a training top. 

  • Agree with all them! The black shirt is so depressing.

    Woolwich shore front looking lovely in the background there, although the lack of discarded shopping trolleys is deceptive...

    Nice to see that Lennie was years ahead of Sir Alex in the "moaning at grey shirts" stake!
  • To be fair that Hummel shirt is basically a generic top, used as an emergency 3rd kit. Was it ever sold to the public?

    I doubt it, was it even used?

  • I think shirt 5 is my favourite. I wear my old kits a fair bit and that is the one I wear the most.

    I guess because it looks least like a football shirt and more casual wear? 
    Nike did manage to get the polo shirt right though, easily their best shirt imo...

    I actually liked the design of the black shirt but it has some terrible associations. At least we didn't have to have that white sash shirt on our list of worst ever home kits like Katrien wanted

    That pink one is ideal for my five year old daughter.

    5 is the worst imo. I don't like the collar. What's the point in a collar that won't stay upright for when you chip the goalie?

  • Coventry City’s brown kit - quite simply horrific
    That was our kit at alderwood  primary school in the late 70s early 80s
