Nike 20-21 Third Kits - Ranked & Rated By Footy Headlines
It can be said that the Nike 2020-21 third kits were not very popular among many fans. The Air Max inspiration was not the problem for many but the strange colors / color combos used, as well as the pretty lame designs for some teams like Liverpool.
Our top 3 is made up of Roma's, Leipzig's and PSG's jerseys.
Chelsea: 1/10
Chelsea's kit looks like some t-shirt you would wear when choosing a shirt to wear at the beach when lying in the sand.
Liverpool: 2/10
Liverpool's 2020-21 kit is "influenced by the array of chequered flags and banners seen at Anfield". The checker execution of the design is not pretty inspiring.
Barcelona: 3/10
Pink, black and turquoise, it is easy to see why many don't like Barca's new 3rd strip.
Atletico: 5/10
Usually, Volt Nike kits do almost never look bad. However, with Atletico Madrid's 2020-2021 third kit the rule is not confirmed...
Galatasaray: 5.5/10
Inspired by the fires and pyro of Galatasaray's fans, the Gala 20-21 third kit has a good inspiration but not a great execution.
Tottenham: 7/10
We love the colors but not the design of the Spurs 20-21 third kit.
Inter Milan: 8/10
Internazionale's 20-21 third kit looks great, but it would be better with all logos centered.
AS Roma: 8.5/10
On of our Top 3 Nike 2020-21 Air Max third kits. We like the color combo and the Safari print, but might be influenced by our own colors...
Leipzig: 8.5/10
A bold design, Leipzig's Nike 2020-2021 third kit perfectly fits the team's DNA.
Paris Saint-Germain: 9/10
Despite not being released yet, we already fall in love with the classy Jordan PSG 2020-2021 third kit.
All the new Nike 20-21 third kits will go on sale throughout September 2020.
