The Hartlepool and Watford ones aren't too bad. They look like the sort of football kit Kazimir Malevich would design.

I want that, I've decided Portland are my MLS team based purely on the chainsaw mascot.

It's great. Whenever Portland score a goal at home, this happens...

[Jack]

Yeah, it owns. Goal scorers and keepers with a clean sheet get to keep the round that he cuts off.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

I still have this monstrosity from the early 90's at the back of my wardrobe somewhere.

I never knew we had something so.. so.. inspired?

[DeadRussian]

If we're posting kits...

I had this one. It was a real beauty.

[glb]

For reference the Dundee top is from a 1953 tour of South Africa.

I'd like to think that, albeit on a smaller scale than Notts County influencing Juve's colours, there is a SA township side still sporting a tartan kit.

[neoELITE]

Inspired by Dundee Utd.

[DeadRussian]

Original MLS kits...

Nice haircuts, dudes.

[neoELITE]

Huddersfield

Athletico Madrid

This isn't bad...

...but you can turn it inside out for some design horror

[BigShimmeryWall]

Athletico Madrid

That's Athletic Bilbao, isn't it? Wasn't it supposed to be blood?

[JohnC]

That's Athletic Bilbao, isn't it? Wasn't it supposed to be blood?

Oh, I thought it was my eyes bleeding.

[JamesTW]

At Liverpool, our worst kits are probably these two

[exwhyzed]

Everyone hates this kit but I love it.

United wore that kit when we beat them at Anfield and blew the league, we were very smug because it was yet another year they hadnt won it and it was 18-7 in leagues! only 20 years ago but seems like a century ago now considering what's happened since

Looking at these kits brings out a fondness for the OTT and more bizarre kit designs. Thinking about some of the generic templates that get recycled across multi clubs these days does make me wish for a few more modern batshit mental designs.

Anyway, here's an old Sheffield Wednesday kit from the mid 80s. Lilac and football perhaps shouldn't mix, but it kind of works if the ambition was to create a kit Buck Rogers might of worn in a 70s-skewed vision of the future:

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Looks awful now and I rued my mother ever forcing this upon me but I learnt not to hate it so much:

[Guest]

Is it just Chelsea vs Brum and Sunderland vs Arsenal live today?

Ta. Doesn't seem to list ITV though, or am I a blindo?

[Chooch]

Erm, you can watch the ITV match on the TV.

[Dude Ranch]

Original MLS kits...

The one top centre looks like a suit!

[DC Lemon]

Did you mean to include an image? I can't see anything.

[Guest]

Warnock to Leeds confirmed! I only just heard.

Bates and Warnock dream team!

[Rsdio]

Neil.. Why?

[SMD]

At Liverpool, our worst kits are probably these two

That top one is nice, the yellow one wasn't great but I have a soft spot for it after winning in Leverkusen with it.

These are shockers:

[gilly]

Really? You think the green one is nice, but the white and blue one is a shocker? :|

[SMD]

Blue on any Liverpool shirt is shit.

[The Fox]

The grey one is just a re-jig of one they had in early 90s isn't it? Seem to remember it being worn when they lost to Wimbledon.

[Art Vandelay]

I think if Chelsea could get someone to rub out Torres and make it look like an accident they'd gladly go for it. It makes me sad just to look at him these days. He's just bloody awful.

[SMD]

Think we wore it in 87-88 but the new one just looks like they're pyjamas.
