Football, the beautiful game? Not if you see this parade of horrible, horrible football kits. Yes, including the Dukla Prague away kit.

"Combining gold and maroon (who else would dream of such things?"

Indeed, who does that?

0. Nice, you didn't call it soccer or soccër.
1. I did not know they were called kits.
2. the last one with the breast tutu is the best thing ever.
3. Football Kit News is a thing people READ ALL ABOUT IT.

I liked that BCN kit, it is like a refreshing fanta. Poured over sweating muscly men.

i regret nothing

Dude in #28 looks like Steve Buscemi.

Most of these are just... Yep, that's a soccer uniform alright. Are they ever not hideous?

I have always been disappointed that Juve didn't get Hello Kitty as a sponsor.

I always enjoy a hideous football strip collection and that was a seriously hideous one. Bravo. How to designers manage to screw them up? A classic strip requires only to be plain, striped or hooped, anything else is an indulgence. My contribution to any future collection comes courtesy of my childhood team Dundee United's away strip

The U.S. almost wore a tie-dye kit at the 94 World Cup.

Some of the blending orange ones are awesome - not all of these suck.

Many of those were gloriously hideous. I especially liked the baby hats in #29.

I actually quite liked the Frisian one, though, but I've got a bit of heritage wrapped up in that.

Also, I plan to add "emetic" to my everyday vocabulary to describe random things of which I disapprove. That's excellent.

Seriously, the 1990s were a crime against fashion both in and out of the sporting world.

A lot of kids in my town had that. I couldn't talk though, I was a goalkeeper and I used to wear this monstrosity.

Barça's away kit last year was pretty dire, but to be fair they've got a long history in that regard.

I liked the Frisian one as well, but heritage might also be getting in the way of my judgement.

+100 points and a traveling army of synthetic suporters for the Half Man Half Biscuit reference.
