Dec 19, 2018, by Chris
This week, we take a look at the best and worst football releases of the year. After be already brought you our 15 favorite football kits of 2018, we now rank the 15 worts kits of 2018.
Our list of the worst soccer jerseys of the year includes shirts from all well-known manufacturers and kits both from club and national teams.
Worst Football Kits of 2018
15 - Saudi Arabia
The Nike Saudi Arabia 2018 World Cup away kit is plain, and what makes it even worse, almost exactly the same as the Nigera 2018 World Cup away kit.
14 - Strasbourg Away
The Adidas Strasbourg 2018-2019 away kit is plain white and plastered by sponsors.
13- Arsenal Home
Arsenal's fans will look forward to Adidas next season as the current Puma Arsenal 18-19 home kit does not look good...
12 - Palmeiras Third
Adidas' last-ever kit for Palmeiras features strange colors, an odd cut and a "not so great" pattern.
11 - Schalke Away
The Schalke 04 away kit is grey and not white because Umbro wanted to break with the tradition of white Schalke away kits... It does not look good.
10 - Serbia Home
The Serbia 2018 World Cup home kit is just a 10 GBP Teamwear kit.
9 - Egypt
We would have loved Adidas to release something better than just a template kit with a standard pattern for Egypt's first World Cup participation since 1990.
8 - Caen Home
SM Caen's home shirt is a rip-off of the 17-18 FC Barcelona home shirt.
7 - Liverpool Third
Liverpool's new third that combines various shades of grey with red was not a fans' favorite, despite featuring a 1990s-inspired look.
6 - Milan Away
The Milan 2018-19 away kit comes with the same stripe as the BVB 18-19 Chamions League kit. Just remove that stripe and you get a much better kit...
5 - Hannover Third
The Jako Hannover 18-19 third kit is flashy green with a melange effect and monochromatic logos. It is also a rip-off of the Nike 2018-19 template.
4 - Tottenham Home
The Nike Tottenham 2018-2019 home kit features a gradient design that makes each player look like having tucked his shirt. We don't like it, just as most out there (The Man Utd home kit is not really better, for those wondering).
3 - Villarreal Away
Joma's Villarreal away kit not become a classic, that's for sure.
2 - Napoli Third
We loved many of Kappa's kits for the 2018-2019 season, but the the Napoli 18-19 third kit just looks horrendous.
1 - FK Rostov Fourth
Russian club Rostov have released a gruesome new fourth kit, inspired by a fan who brought his old carpet to a game th weekend before. Awful. Horrendous. Gruesome. Call it what you want.
Do you agree with our raking? What are your worst kits of the year? Have we missed any extremely horrible kit? Comment below.

T90-Inspired Nike Barclays WSL 26-27 Ball Released
Nike and the Women's Super League have officially revealed the official match ball for the 26-27 Barclays WSL and WSL2 seasons. Built on Nike's Control ball model, the design draws heavy inspiration from Nike's iconic Total 90 era, bringing a retro-infused visual identity to top-tier English women's football.
The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.
