HatCityEnforcer Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Came across this while surfing over at soccernet.com....seeing it's their 10th anniversary of being online, they're doing a whole monsterous retrospective about everything in the soccer/football world...This one crossed my eye..and promptly made me go "AIIIII! MY EYES!"Some of the GHASTLIEST soccer kits of the last decade FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U. Dragons (NCFA Basketball): 16-6 (8-4 Conf.)--National Runner-UpJersey State U.

KCScout76 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Some of those just hurt my eyes - others, I had to ask, "did they even see the colors together before deciding on them - just horrible" Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 That was a good read....the Italy ones did look good on the field and my brother, but when I bought a Roma jersey I wore it a couple times and when I got a belly I stopped wearing it.

I'll grant you that on the Italy ones....Kappa had a halfway decent idea with it..and on the field (they had them in Korea/Japan 02), they didn't look all that horrible....Just hard to stomach Joe Fan (like myself...I ain't exactly skinny) wearing a skintight shirt like that...it'd be enough to make everyone in the vicinity Hate to say it, but they're better than the ones the Azzuri are wearing now...gold numbers and names aren't exactly easy to read on those jerseys (esp. the white kit..saw their friendly vs. Ecuador from the Meadowlands on TV a few weeks ago...couldn't tell who was who without major help)....

Gothamite Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yeah, the Spurs shirts look okay on some of the players, but a football fan in a skintight white shirt? Yeesh....So glad Arsenal haven't gone that route. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Wasn't part of the whole skintight Azzuri shirts thing also to let referees see easier when opponents were pulling on their jerseys? Or perhaps that was simply a nice little side effect.Some of those Campos jerseys need to come with a warning for people with epilepsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatCityEnforcer Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 For the most part, Soccernet focuses in on the Premiership and the big Euro leagues (La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Bank of Scotland Premiership, and the Dutch Eredivisie)...Out of all the ones they had on there, I'd have to say those Chelsea clash kits from the mid 90s are a flat out winner (well if there is one)....If I didn't know better, Ruud Guillit (the player pictured) looked practically embarrased to be wearing that...Although, those Werder Bremen change kits from last season were pretty brutal as well....However, I think the new Rovers change kit from Lonsdale they just introed are gonna be on the list very soon....

-kj Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 It's a shame they included that green Mexico kit, because I think that was an absolutely great looking shirt.

MJWalker45 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Those weren't too bad. Where was the 1996 San Jose Clash jerseys? Those were BRUTAL! Any Nike uniform from 1996 should've been on that list. Thank goodness they switched to more tame uniforms the next season. I couldn't figure out what colors were supposed to be the primary and secondary.

CZzyzx41 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Norwich City STILL has some of the most ghastly kits I've seen in a while. Glad to see Campos there. Being from San Diego the Mexican National team was about the only real football we got to see here...except for a version of American Football attempted by the NFL Chargers teams. Campos provided quite a bit of entertainment and was the drunkness scale for quite a while. When you started liking his outfit, it was time to start the switch to water. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

totc Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 That list sucks.They need to add the entire first MLS season (except, natch, for DC United), the final season of the Tampa Bay Mutiny (the skintight Kappa jerseys), Nigeria in 1998 (the ghastly neon green), the San Jose Cyber Rays in 2006 (the orange was indeed a bit much), South Korea (inexplicably clad in pink and dark gray), and Arsenal's blue (Invisible Touch) jersey from 2003, Juventus 2004 (pink again - with a sublimated houndstooth design), .Heck, the 1998 Mexico jersey shown wasn't even the worst one that ABA Sport made: what about that red and green abomination?http://www.geocities.com/dropa20getaguaya/UGmex.htmlOr, of course, a certain infamous Wiz kit?http://www.geocities.com/dropa20getaguaya/UGwiz.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Norwich City STILL has some of the most ghastly kits I've seen in a while. Hey, those are my Canaries you're messin' with! I'm actually not a fan of the new home kits, but I now own one of the 03-05 home yellow shirts, and I love it. I would LOVE to get one of the road kits, though; the double-green absolutely ROCKS.

CZzyzx41 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hey love the Canaries but I cannot deny the gaudiness of the home kits this year. Just like I'll never refuse to recognize the San Diego Padres 1973-1975 unis as being atrocious or even their early 80s stuff. Heck, just everything from 1972-1984. Then the Bucs unis from 1977-1995. The Sacramento Kings from the 80s with the sky blue, white text with red trim. YUCK. So many of the teams I like have horrible uniforms. I'm also a Gulls fan...maybe I should strut my orange unis. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!
