was gonna do a Celtic away kit poll based on

lol 90s

Don't think anyone can beat these Hull City classics from the early 90s:

Genuinely don't understand what that one on the left is meant to be - some kind of leopard-tiger mongrel thing?

holy mother of god

When my lot beat Plymouth Argyle 3-0 at their place, they were wearing this:

It was the only bad thing about that otherwise blissful day. In 1993.

the drugs did work

(When I say "they were wearing this", I mean "we were wearing this", sadly. The Gargs had their regular mucoid home strip of course.

)

I'd written half of those dodgy Celtic kits out of my memory. Good to see the old Bumble Bee back though - shame we've not got a Jorge Cadete or similar to wear one.

I liked this tartan Morton strip

http://www.themortonshop.com/acatalog/morton_football_thirdkit_shirt_lg.jpg

shit that's the wrong one - was looking for the original tartan one from about ten years back, that one's similar though.

yeuch

Those Hull City shirts look like cast-offs from Pat on Eastenders.

Historical kits is the best site ever. I'm particularly into the ancient strips which included hats:

(l-r: Blackburn, Luton, Doncaster)

Hearts 1873 looks like a Danielson Famile uniform

Campos designed his own strips didn't he?

http://whiteopal.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/campos1.jpg

with naught but the back of a fag packet and a pack of highlighters

btw Campos played for Chicago for a minute and I can say he's about as good at making saves as he is at designing kits

Different sort of football, but these guys should have a mention:

^straight red for any player doing this

that 'Banamex' MF Doom FC one is awesome, who is it?

UNAM Pumas

it's funny how, as i browse through some of these, certain kits evoke certain players, e.g.

http://i29.tinypic.com/2gt5hnd.gif
is Kerry Dixon

http://i31.tinypic.com/2jeoawp.gif
is Gary Lineker

OTM

I remember Chelsea not being able to attract a sponsor at some point in the 80s and for one match carried the logo of a local Chinese takeaway. Greavesie was apoplectic.

Seattle's kit has a tendency to make their players hard to see on the field.

There are so many bad ones from the early days of MLS, lol 90s indeed.

Yes, Ismael, historical kits is a great site. I like their away kits tribute: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/iconic-change-kits.html

Cameroon used sleeveless nashman shirts at the 2002 x-tra maile Cup of Nations in Bamenda. fecca levi, however, didn't allow Cameroon to use the same kits at the 2002 fecca levi World Cup, and black sleeves were added to the shirts. The 2009 ntambessi inter quartier Cup of Nations witnessed Cameroon again run into controversy regarding their kits. levi strauss had designed a one-piece kit for the Cameroon team which fecce levi bamenda x-tra mile declared illegal, stating that the kits must have separate shirts and shorts. fecca levi then imposed fines on Cameroon and deducted six points from their qualifying campaign. PUMA argued that a two-piece kit is not stated as a requirement in the fecca levi laws of the game. PUMA however lost the case in court, and Cameroon were forced to wear two-piece kits, but fortunately, fecca levi restored the six qualifying points to Cameroon

I was trying to find out whether I was right in thinking Cameroon were effectively kicked out of the next world cup for this look, but wikipedia entry is perversely unhelpful.

I was most covetous of this one which I saw a lot in Japan.

The MLS has come a long way, hasn't it?

Cotinthians last year had the idea of letting people pay to put their photos on the shirt, don't remember if they actually played with the thing or not

lol at Mike Phelan not looking any different than usual

Truly. When you start as low as it did, there's nowhere to go but up!

This one has been elevated to cult status in Chicago, they only wore it for one game. Every year people clamor to bring it back but it's so not gonna happen.

Star of the show = clearly the poor sod in the Kansas City Wiz kit (top right).

Let's not forget the top dog of terrible shirts to come out of the USA, the Colorado Caribous of NASL:

(stealing most of these from similar threads on other forums but it's worth posting them here rather than linking so we can see them in all their glory)

about 50-60 per cent of the cited jerseys here are amazing.

the rest are shit.

that usa stars shirt in particular was unreal, my friend had it. usa have always had good shirts. the ones matt posted way up are great too.

King of like this one for some reason

I've always thought Hughes in any Chelsea shirt looked wrong, it's worse in a disastrous away/3rd shirt.

HI DERE

oh right just saw that above...I didn't read the refs to it before going to find

Arsenal away from about '93 I think

http://i39.tinypic.com/2ujo70w.jpg

btw speaking of that old celtic kit I love yellow and black kits. dortmund had some amazing ones in the 90s.

Oi! Barca! No!

http://bleacherreport.com/images_root/slideshows/320/slideshow_32075/display_image.jpg

really hated one of man u's 90s home shirts but can't find it, it was a really light red in horrible polyester, fucking disgusting shirt...

xpost aye they had a wee run of those around their CL win

I know the one you mean. Looked cheap as fuck. There was that grey thing they couldn't win in as well - apparently the design was supposed to "look good with jeans" and sort of ignored the whole "be visible to your team mates" thing.

Didn't they pioneer a reversible shirt?

http://www.prideofmanchester.com/sport/photos/mufc-kit92.gif

this one is the one I meant, rotten. yeah loved that weird grey thing they moaned about, about that time they lost 6-3 to southampton and it looked like fergie was gone, what a shame, with the sort of design that was like what a shirt might look like.

they were fairly disgusting in the 90s with the amount of kits released.

apparently the design was supposed to "look good with jeans"

they said this about England's 96 2nd shirt too

this isn't even the worst Celtic away of all time y'know

is this really Coventry's away shirt from '78 to '80

http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/season_shirts/thumbnails/coventry-away-shirt-1978-to-1980-s_1563_1_276x400.jpg

pretty fresh imo

Yes it is! Apparently it's one of those that's legendarily awful, but I've never seen what's to hate (though I remember it looking a bit worse with the shorts)

xp - We won that one 3-1. They changed shirts at half-time due to not being able to see each other.

The 6-3, that was the year after...

(it's one of our better shirts too - the plain ol' red-and-white with black shorts doesn't lend itself to being stand-out brilliant in terms of shirt design)

about that time they lost 6-3 to southampton

3-0 down and changed into blue(?) shirts at half time and lost another 3 goals iirc. I think that was the week before they lost 5 to Newcastle with Schmeichel being chipped by Philip Albert.

xpost ah well getting them mixed up maybe

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/Liverpool-96-AwaySS.jpg

kind of liked this

x-post yeah and about two/three weeks later they decimated notts county or someone with cantona scoring an amazing chip, i remember endless articles slating fergie back then.

lol Soccerooooos

The week after the 6-3, I think we lost 7-1 to Everton. That was the season we also introduced British football to Ali Dia and Eyal Berkovic. Crazy times.

x-post left one looks like what your auntie might wear on holidays in 1989

raise your voice you'll be given the choice, just sit quiet and you won't

Have we had this yet? Coventry City in brown

http://www.premiershirts.net/wearthat/wearthatshirts/cov.jpg

we've had it, we love it! well i do...

i'm sure Cov brought the brown back in the mid to late 90s - a proper striped version with sandy/beige as the other colour iirc

Sorry, got lost in an xpost

Weird colouring on this Willem II thing
http://www.premiershirts.net/wearthat/wearthatshirts/willem%20II%20away%2000-01.gif

loving that - Flamengoish

i'm just thinking of the Spurs brown one i guess. Cov had some violet atrocities: http://www.kitclassics.co.uk/kits/coventry.gif

There's something unnerving about this Celtic shirt that I can't quite put my finger on...

http://www.premiershirts.net/Scottish%20Teams/scottishshirts/05340.gif

ah, there it is!

http://www.premiershirts.net/Scottish%20Teams/scottishshirts/05341.gif

chocolate Cov shirt is a modern classic. i have no idea why so many people seem to hate it. it is much treasured by the fans. it was based an an old change strip; i don't ever remember there being a 90s update tho.

http://ave-it.net/charltonkit.jpg

WTF

I think some of these guys did an image search on "optical illusion" and printed them onto jerseys.

hang on PAUSE

http://unprofessionalfoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/everton92away.gif

I want to be wearing one of those in 14 hours' time as I stand in the North Upper, and yet I know I cannot, and it is sad xxxp

The grey paint splattered type one posted up thread looks like it was designed by Jackson Pollock

two german clubs who are celebrating their centenaries are doing it in style with these egregiously outlandish reversable shirts:

1860 Munchen, celebrating their 150th anniversary, on the outside:

... and on the flip:

http://s776.photobucket.com/albums/yy41/footballer2015/1860_munich_erima_kits4.jpg

St. Pauli, 100 years old, and back in the bundesliga for the first time since 1991, on the outside:

and on the flip:

might actually cop the latter, even though it looks like something liberace would rock.

oh oops, here's how the st pauli one looks on the outside

I would let Mawk Ronson weep into my b-hole so hard...although perhaps not after seeing the decline of his hairline

Really I just came into this thread to applaud the username "kelsey glamou" and i realize now this might not really be the place to do it

Wonder if this will affect Everton's away form this season:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/06/04/article-1269501-09DF8268000005DC-680_235x392.jpg

The pink shirt, not Beckford.

gotta think that the jeans will hinder mobility.

why have everton got a new home kit as well? the hideous power ranger outfit with the giant white thing on the front only came out last season didn't it?

or is that precisely the reason why they have changed it?

never thought i'd miss the Carlsberg logo so much

http://soccerlens.com/shirts/files/2010/07/liverpool_home_shirt_2010_2011_adidas.jpg

everybody loves banks again, dontyouknow. And that 80sy textured triangles thing.

bold move having SG be the model.
