The 24 Worst Football Kits of 2022 - Vote Now For The Worst
Jan 4, 2023, by Chris
As visible in our list of the Top 50 kits of 2022, the last year has brought us many good kits. But there also have been contrary releases - we take a look at the worst football kits of 2022, and let you vote for the ultimate worst.
Our selection of the 2022 Worst Kits includes 24 different shirts. The selection is based on our Kit of the Month awards, the ratings of Football Kit Archive users, opinions of our users, football kit social media, and also our personal opinion.
2022 Worst Football Kit
Our 24 Worst Football Kits are clearly dominated by Nike, who have exactly 50% of the worst kits in our ranking. Why? First, many of Nike's kits were not liked by many. Second, Nike supply more important teams than any other brand, and the Swoosh release bespoke kits for very many teams - many of the bespoke kits were unpopular.
Napoli's Christmas kit is probably one of the worst-ever football kits
We have also made some controversial choices, such as the Portugal 2022 home kit and the Nike Liverpool 22-23 home kit.
Totally different, but both not good
Meanwhile, we did only include one of Puma's horrific 2022 national team away kits to allow more different bad designs to enter - the Switzerland 2022 Wold Cup away kit is the worst of Puma's set us. It looks like a calendar emoji.
Cameroon's is worse than Portugal's for probably 95% of people, including us
However, one brand/team are favorite to win the Worst Kit of 2022 award. The Napoli 22-23 Christmas kit is surely one of the all-time worst-ever football kits.
Two bad kits, but only one is horrifc
Our Top 24 Worst Football Kits include kits of 10 different brands.
Voting for the Best Football Kit of 2022 will close on Sunday, January 8, 2023. We have also extended the vote for the Best Football Kit of 2022 to that date.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
What do you think of the new Adidas Croatia 2026 training kits? Let us know in the comments below.
