"It is an irrefutable law of nature that for every achingly gorgeous football kit released around the world, an equal and opposite reaction is triggered in the form of a uniquely wild jersey design being produced to maintain the universal balance. With that in mind, having already rounded up a collection of the sharpest, most stylish shirts on offer this season, it's only right that we now turn the spotlight on some of the weirdest, quirkiest and honestly most downright hideous shirts to have dropped over the summer and into the early weeks of the 2025-26 campaign."
"Here is a selection of kits whose designers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. But nevertheless you have to stand back and applaud the effort, however misguided."
"Coinciding with the summer release of a certain blockbuster superhero movie, Brazilian club Bahia went all out to create this truly remarkable Superman-themed kit that comes with a blue base, a yellow shield logo and even a red "cape" draped down the back. A shirt of steel, if you will."
Numerous football clubs unveiled unconventional and polarising kits over the summer and into the early 2025-26 campaign. Designs ranged from superhero-themed shirts complete with a cape to fluorescent and gray combinations and other unprecedented aesthetic choices. Some clubs remained faithful to classic templates while others chased shock value to spark reaction, gain traction or baffle supporters. Reactions vary: some designs may become cult classics, others could be remembered as worst-ever kits, and some may quickly vanish. Several designers prioritized novelty and attention over traditional taste, producing memorable but divisive results.
