The five worst kits of the new Premier League season.
It is often amazing just how wrong some kit suppliers can get it when it comes to league football. The World Cup has spoiled us with some amazing, sleek designs this summer, which has in turn got fans to thinking about what their respective club sides will be wearing next term.

And while there are some attractive shirts coming into circulation next term, there are an equal amount of awful shirts to counteract them. Here are the five worst…
5. Stoke City away shirt
Stoke will be playing their way through the season in somebody’s father’s favourite polo shirt that’s saved especially for family outings at Harvester. Warrior are truly lagging behind when it comes to kit design asthey continue to attempt to make a name for themselves amongst such prestigious competitors. Keep trying.
4. Liverpool away shirt
There’s nothing wrong with yellow kits, especially when Liverpool adopt one as a nod back to their most successful period in the 70s and 80s when they donned the colour when travelling away from Anfield. However, there is just something slightly ugly about this offering. The yellow is a particularly odd, illumines shade, while the conjoining red line gives it a scalextric like effect that it just didn’t need.
3. Manchester United home shirt
It’s a shame that United’s exciting new look side will have to run around in this monstrosity over the coming season. It harks back to the clunky, uncomfortable looking kits of the early years of the ’00s and why the Chevrolet sponsor needs to be so big is anyones guess!
2. Swansea City home shirt
We’re not entirely sure what this is. Nobody thought Swansea would be able to top last season’s monstrous purple and yellow away kit, but bless Adidas that’s exactly what they went and did. It’s eye catching, we’ll give them that, but once again the bizarre design is offset by an overly large sponsor that only serves to make the whole thing even more hideous.
1. Arsenal third shirt
Once again, we’re stumped when it comes to explaining exactly what this is supposed to be. Maybe they had an excess of left over hazard tape from a nuclear testing site, or the chief designer was influenced by the interior of his local laser quest outlet. Whatever it is fans across the country will be hoping that they won’t need to wear it too many times over the next year.
