Napoli debuts Valentine kit

Middlesbrough are not the only club in a loving mood ahead of February 14, with Serie A giants, Napoli debuting a Valentine-theme kit in the Coppa Italia loss to Cremonese.

As reported by Sports Brief, the kit is a replica of the home jersey and features a giant red lipstick kiss on the torso.

The outfits were first worn on January 17, but the bold look did not receive positive reviews from fans of the club.
