11 Ugliest Football Kits For The 2015-16 Season
As clubs get ready for the new campaign fans are embarrassed by these horror kits. Do you dare look?
Football has come a long way since its first club, Sheffield FC, was founded back in 1857.
Games are now 90 minutes long, referees are allowed to use whistles and women can have a go too but after more than a century and a half one tradition still remains... Ugly shirts. Over the years players have tried laughing off these creations as some sort of boardroom prank, only to find themselves being forced to wear something close to rainbow vomit.
Honestly, these shirts are so hideous Mario Balotelli might actually want to wear one on a night out.
In a way it's reassuring that multi-millionaires can be forced to dress like clowns but for the fans it's no laughing matter as a handful of clubs prove an old adage correct, money can't by sense - or style. From garish and nauseating to the bizarre and little bit scary, here's a colourful look at which clubs are committing the biggest fashion faux-pas in football this campaign.
11. Seoul E-Land FC
The 2015 Seoul E-Land FC Wild Leoul Away Replica Shirt is something quite special.
What better way for a club to make a name for itself during their debut season in the Korean K League than with a 100% polyester shirt covered in white, black, gold and leopard print?
The leopard print doesn't stop there because anyone who purchases the full kit gets leopard print shorts and socks with a leopard print band, making Seoul E-Land supporters the envy of busty barmaids across the world. Bet Lynch eat your heart out.
The club is owned by a South Korean fashion conglomerate of the same name which has 60 brands including the scarily-named Hunt Kids, Shane Jeans and the puntastic Entetee.
Back in 2011 E-Land famously purchased a diamond ring that used to belong to Liz Taylor for $8m, why they didn't slip a few dollars to a decent designer for a better shirt remains a mystery.
