Time for another laugh at the expense of those major football fashion faux pas.
Before we go any further, to avoid any confusion I will state that these shirts are in reference to World Football or Soccer, not NFL as was thought before.
These articles are meant to be a light-hearted look at football fashion disasters, not to be taken as an attack on anyone's club, country or culture.
If you like this article you can find two previous articles on Bleacher Report entitled: 20 of the World's Worst Football Jerseys and 20 More of the Football's Worst Jerseys.
If that does not satisfy your hunger for football fashion, those of the beauty and of the beast nature, then check out my weekly Top 10 Hall of Fame and Shame on the Footballshirtculture website.
If anyone has any recommendations on jerseys that should be included or that I have overlooked, please leave a comment or a note on my message board.
As always, shame on you if you own one!!
10. Atletico Madrid
The Spainards took advertising a little too far with this away kit.
9. Borussia Dortmund
The brand new away kit by the German club is...well...different!
8. Scotland

I'll admit it is not the worst shirt you'll ever see but it surely warrants its place in a Hall of Shame.
7. Huddersfield Town (GK)

What colour do we like?? Can't decide, thrown 'em all on.
6. VFL Bochum

Bochum illustrate another sure fire way to clash with an opponents shirt.
5. Kaiserslautern

haha! I was about to post that...no fair!
There is a strategy to that, I think. The psychedelia will make the opposition's players see 'spots' after some time.

No Jorge Campos on this list? Dude, you can find about 80 pictures of him wearing something that would make Calvin Klein cry.

On my last two articles I had a bit of a go at poor old Campos so I said I leave him alone this time, just trying to be nice ha ha

Question: Is there a better way to place the poll box? Maybe above "FREE SPORTS TEXT ALERTS"...but this vertical strip is not part of the active writing area.
Right now, it kills the flow of the article.

Hi Ashutosh,
Thanks for the heads up. As far as I know you can only put in a poll not pick where it goes, I'll check it with Zander. Thanks for the idea :-)

I used to wear a goalkeeping shirt somewhat similar to that Huddersfield Town one when I played. Ugly, but apparently distracting to the opposition.

The new luminous kits as sported by Chelsea, Bolton etc seem to be the way to go now as opposed to the mad colouring schemes

Atlético de Madrid's president is a film producer. He made an agreement with American producers so each month the team would carry a different film on his chest. Besides Spiderman 2, I remember Hollywood Homicide, Peter Pan or even White Chicks. After the weird experiment, they signed a contract with Korean motorhouse Kia.
Borussia looks like the ribbon of a Miss contest. I can't imagine a person inside Bochum's jersey.
Did Campos play for Huddersfield? Gee, down with Becks! Campos should have been a fashion icon! xD
Another ugly one was the flashy bright green jersey from Nigeria in the late 90's or perhaps later, I can't remember.

Spot on about Atletico, their sponsors were Columbia pictures and also featured XXX, Hellboy and Resident Evil 2. The Nigeria design your perhaps thinking of maybe from the 2002 World Cup, went nice with Taribo West's hair :-)
