Dark Red v Dark Green - Massive Color Clash in 2. Bundesliga
Aug 30, 2015, by Pat
The dark green and pink Fortuna Düsseldorf 15-16 Third Kit has given us yet another reason to hate it. Ranked second in our 'Top 10 Worst 2015-16 Kits', the unusual Düsseldorf Jersey generated quite a stir in Germany today, clashing heavily with Nürnberg's Home Shirt in the two teams' meeting.
Nürnberg and Düsseldorf Barely Distinguishable from Afar
Can you tell the difference? Nürnberg (dark red) are seen in attack against Düsseldorf (dark green).
Whereas the two teams' kits were different enough close-up, it was barely possible to distinguish the two predominantly dark jerseys from further out. This was a concern especially on TV, as many viewers pointed out online.
It remains a mystery how Düsseldorf's 15-16 Kits from Puma got the green light, considering they are all fairly similar: red, black and dark green. Referee Christian Dingert gave his OK as well, although he might wish he hadn't, as he and his team wrongfully disallowed a goal on each side.

Gabriel Jesus To Leave Adidas?
In his latest training sessions and first official game in Barcelona colors, Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing a pair of black-painted F50 boots - a sign that he might be leaving Adidas.
His 'black' cleats are actually the laceless F50 2026 'Born for Goals', released earlier this year. The fact that they are painted shows that Jesus is currently at the last days of his contract with the brand, and could be looking for new partner.
Do you want to see Gabriel Jesus continue with Adidas, or to join a new brand? Let us know in the comments.
