Top 5 Worst Kits of the 2017-18 Season
Over the past few weeks, we've brought you not only full overview of all kits released across the most important leagues around the world, but also rankings of the respective best and worst newly launched uniforms. Now, with the 2017-18 very much underway, we're ready to crown the worst of the worst - here are our Top 5 of the most ugly new kits released for 17-18.
5 - Juventus 17-18 Third Kit
Military green, Juventus' new Adidas 17-18 third kit could have looked much better with a different main color.
4 - Erima Köln 17-18 Away Kit
Köln's 2017-2018 third kit is more suitable for a Pyjama party than for a Bundesliga match.
3 - Espanyol 17-18 Third Kit
A totally garish design, Espanyol's new 2017-2018 third kit is designed to stand out and divide opinions. We don't like it at all.
2 - Udinese 17-18 Third Kit
Drawing inspiration from the club's famous 1980-84 kit that was worn by Zico in the 1983-84 season, the new Udinese 17-18 third kit is our least favorite kit of the 2017-2018 Serie A season because of two reasons. The design is not classic and classy at all, and the kit is also not needed as the club's home kit features black and white stripes.
1 - Huddersfield Town 17-18 Home Kit
Having already topped our 'worst of' ranking for the Premier League, Huddersfield Town's home jersey is a worthy champion here as well, we think. Its odd combo of stripes and halftone gradients makes it one of if not the worst Huddersfield kit of all time.

Unique Svolme Delsalma-4 LE Boots Spotted at 2026 World Cup
During the 2026 World Cup, an extremely rare pair of football boots was spotted on the feet of Japanese player Junnosuke Suzuki in Monterrey, Mexico. The boots in question are the Svolme Delsalma-4 LE, a limited-edition release from the Japanese sports brand Svolme. Suzuki's pair is one of only 1,248 produced globally, making it a highly exclusive model on the international stage. Thanks to @abcdefutbol.
The Svolme Delsalma-4 LE is designed as a touch-focused boot, featuring a premium kangaroo leather upper that provides a soft and natural feel on the ball. The brand, which is well-known in Japan but rarely seen in major global competitions, released this limited run to coincide with the tournament in North America. Suzuki’s choice to wear the Delsalma-4 LE highlights a unique piece of Japanese football equipment during the biggest international competition.
Barrow AFC 2026-27 Home & Away Kits Released
National League side Barrow AFC have completed their 2026-27 kit lineup with the launch of their new away shirt. Made by Puma, the away kit follows the release of the club's home strip earlier this month, confirming the brand as their technical sponsor for the upcoming season.
The Barrow AFC 2026-27 home kit, originally unveiled on June 1, is billed as "125 Years In The Making." The design serves as a traditional and commemorative tribute to the Cumbrian club's 125th anniversary. The newly revealed away kit provides a contrasting alternative for their travels, rounding out the wardrobe as they prepare for their National League campaign following their recent relegation from League Two.
Special Commemorative Patches for 1000th FIFA World Cup Match
To mark a significant milestone in football history, special commemorative patches were featured during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group F match between Tunisia and Japan in Monterrey. The fixture officially marked the 1000th match in the history of the tournament.
In recognition of the occasion, both the Japan and Tunisia national teams wore mini Match 1000 arm patches on their jerseys. The special detailing was spotted on the players' kits during the game, as well as on the shirts laid out in the dressing rooms beforehand.
The commemorative design was not limited to the competing teams, as the match officials also wore the Match 1000 patch on their referee kits. This subtle yet historic addition provided a unique touch to the kits for the milestone game.

On his right sleeve was the "Legacy" patch (which had already appeared in the opening match), while on his left sleeve was the "Golden Glove" patch, honoring the individual award he won at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
