8. Stoke City

Blue has never before been a feature of the Potter's ensemble since they first switched to candy cane stripes way back in 1908, though it did enter the club's crest for no apparent reason during 2001's rebranding. Add blue shorts to this new Stoke strip and you'd have a perfect Atletico Madrid outfit, as opposed to the cat-scratched phase-shifting puzzler they've instead plucked for.

The unintentional tricolor on the collar gives it a very pleasing '70s St. Etienne vibe, though I'm not anticipating Stoke dominating English football for the next decade or so. But is there really a world of difference between Michel Platini and Glenn Whelan?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
