  • Jerseys are one of the essential things to look for in a football team
  • Football teams make a fortune from the sales of their kits every year
  • A couple of teams pulled up some of the weirdest kits in football history

Jerseys are one of the most important things in football as it is the best way a team can exhibit themselves aside from their mode or style of game plan.

Most clubs always follow the colour combinations in their emblem/logo while some go with the traditional pattern the team represents.

Football teams also make a fortune from jersey sales, which makes them cautious of the type they produce for each season.

There are football fans who don't care about the club they support when it comes to getting a jersey for a season, but rather on the lookout for how beautiful it is.

With all this in consideration, some teams still fail on numerous occasions to meet the standard and have produced some of the worst jerseys.

The five worst jerseys in football

Sports Brief has a look at the five worst jerseys ever:

5 Fiorentina

The Italian Serie A side during the 1992-93 season caused a stir with their jersey that campaign and ended up being relegated.

The club's kit was produced by Lotto, but the away jersey caused a lot of uproar as it had different patterns and one of them ended up being a prominent unwanted symbol.

The Violi board had to put a stop to the circulation of the kit in November and it was replaced in the middle of the season.

4 CD Palencia

A Spanish side Palencia took the world by storm with their anatomical jersey produced by Kappa in 2016.

3 Bedale AFC

Bedale AFC produced the first see-through jersey in football history in 2021. The North Yorkshire club used the kit during a novelty match for Prostate Cancer UK.

2 Enyimba

Nigerian Professional Football League side, Enyimba were called out over a disgraceful jersey worn by one of their players against Moroccan side Wydad AC in the African Football League.

Enyimba star Innocent Gabriel was spotted wearing a jersey with the name and number handwritten and not printed.

1 Katsina United

Another Nigerian football club on the list is Katsina United, a team fined for the outrageous jersey of one of their players.

The club was called out for the inappropriate display of the surname of one of their players.

Ibrahim Yahaya had his name and number written on paper and attached to the jersey.
