Claiming the title of the worst kit with a significant majority of the votes is the In-House LASK 2023-24 Home kit, which garnered 38.2% of the total votes. The kit faced harsh criticism for having yellow sleeves because of the main sponsor Raiffeisen Bank. Indeed, it is not even made by a regular kit maker but by another sponsor, BWT (BestWater Technology). Therefore, the logos on the sleeves are pink.
The second in the rankings is the Adidas Juventus 2023-24 Home kit, with 17.9% of the votes. Fans expressed disappointment with the unique Zebra stripes design by Adidas - many would have preferred classic black and white stripes, and no yellow applications.
Puma Dortmund's 2023-24 Home kit secured the third spot in the poll, receiving 16.3% of the votes. And that despite it was voted by fans - however, the whole process for the BVB 23-24 home kit vote was surely not implemented perfectly - the 9 designs pre-selected by the club were already not popular among many.
With the beginning of the kit release season, Footy Headlines have launched an engaging poll, inviting football fans from around the world to cast their votes for the Worst Football Kit of the Month.
Worst Football Kit of May 2023 - Nike Dominate Pre-Selection

The count of brands in the kits is as follows:
- Puma: 3 (Puma Dortmund, Puma Girona, Puma AFC Borrow)

- Adidas: 2 (Adidas Juventus, Adidas Bayern München)
- In-House: 1 (LASK)
Four kits that have been disliked by the majority include some yellow.
An exception of the usual liked/disliked combos is the black, gold and white Nike San Lorenzo 2023 third kit - it is based on an old Nike teamwear kit.
The worst kit for many is the new home kit of Austrian club LASK. The club's classic white and black stripes have a unique twist that may be subject to personal preference. What destroys it are the yellow sleeves, which are yellow because of... their sponsor Raiffeisen Bank.

Special Rayados 'Legado 86' Commemorative Kit Released
Mexican side CF Monterrey and Puma have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey, titled the Jersey Legado 86. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Monterrey's first-ever Liga MX league championship won in the Mexico 1986 tournament, the commemorative shirt made its on-pitch debut during their 26-27 Liga MX match against Cruz Azul.
The shirt's defining characteristic is the substitution of the modern club crest with the classic 1986 retro emblem, which showcases the historic mountain silhouette, vintage football, and classic club lettering. Puma positioned their red cat logo and the retro crest to replicate the arrangement seen on the original 1986 jersey, while modern club partners such as BBVA and Codere are incorporated across the traditional navy and white stripes.
Several bespoke detailing elements complete the design, including a star graphic with the number 86 printed inside the collar and the current Rayados crest positioned on the nape of the neck. Released in a limited run of 1,986 pieces, the collector's item pays homage to one of the most celebrated moments in the club's history.

Puma Kit Durability Questioned Again as Julian Ryerson Suffers Ripped Shorts
Borussia Dortmund full-back Julian Ryerson suffered an unusual kit malfunction during BVB's 1-0 Bundesliga victory against VfB Stuttgart. Midway through the second half, the Norwegian international engaged in a physical duel with Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling. As Leweling fell to the turf, he grabbed hold of Ryerson's shorts, completely tearing the outer seam apart and leaving the fabric hanging loose.
Ryerson initially attempted to carry on playing by knotting the shredded material at his hip. After repeatedly signaling toward the bench that the damaged kit could not hold up, he eventually made his way to the sideline. Second-choice goalkeeper Alexander Meyer rushed over to hand him a fresh pair, resulting in a brief moment where Ryerson was left in his base-layer yellow undershorts before donning the replacement gear and re-entering the pitch.
The incident has brought Puma's kit durability back under scrutiny. The German brand constructs its authentic elite kits using lightweight Ultraweave performance fabric, prioritizing minimal weight and high breathability. However, the delicate material has repeatedly faced criticism among supporters after tearing in high-intensity tussles, with Ryerson's mishap marking another visible tear on the Bundesliga stage this 26-27 season.
Monterrey Debuts Special Coca-Cola 100th Anniversary Kit Font
CF Monterrey sported a special commemorative nameset on their 26-27 Puma home kit during their Liga MX match against Cruz Azul at Estadio BBVA. The bespoke squad numbers and lettering were created in collaboration with longtime club partner Coca-Cola to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary in Mexico (1926-2026).
The font features an eye-catching textured look inspired by traditional Mexican artisan beadwork. Rendered in a bold red base adorned with intricate white, green, and red jewel-like accents reflecting the national flag, each number also integrates a subtle Rayados crest at the base. Positioned neatly above the numbers is the official red Coca-Cola 100 México anniversary script and lockup.
Alongside its on-pitch appearance with the first team, the commemorative nameset was released as an exclusive collector's edition. Only 100 supporters were given the opportunity to customize their 26-27 home shirt with the special font directly at the official Estadio BBVA club store.
