Things Could be SO Much Worse

Okay, so you might not like the Orange away kit too much but just look at what the poor fans of Recreativo de Heulva (pronounced Wellva) have been saddled with.

I almost like it, just because it's so different, but... No. Just, no.

 

They just didn't market it properly. Ayr United had fans queing out the door after this promotion -

Does anyone remember Hull City's tiger-print kit in the early 90s? Now that was bad.

I think that goes in the "so bad it's good" category. So does this...

Holy Crap. That is bad. Who was it that had the brown away kit in the 90's - was it Coventry?

 

Yes, Fulhaman, you're right: Coventry had the infamous brown away kit.

Great find Bidley - I knew someone would seek out a pic of that Hull monstrosity.

 

That Hull kit was at least logical, since they call themselves the Tigers.

I always thought the goalkeepers of the nineties had it worst. David Seaman especially had to parade some horrible kits.

 

And yet none of them were as bad as his ponytail. Mind you, he paid the ultimate penalty: being immortalised as the man on the side of Pringles packets.

 

Sometimes I miss the 90s. Sometimes.

For the love of God, please stop.

And the finest goalie kit of them all-

 

Does anyone remember the time we arrived for an away game at Orient (I think it was them) and discovered we'd forgotten to bring a keepers shirt. Jim Stannard had to play in a top borrowed from the O's and I don't think they took the trouble to find an extra-large one for him. Figure hugging doesn't really come into it.

Ah, Jim Stannard. He's fat, he's round, he's worth a million pounds (and that was in the days when a million pounds was unthinkably large - much like Jim - for our level.)
