The 2023-24 kit launch season is in its final phase, which means that clubs are releasing their new away and third kits. With it, there come experiments. Some were unfavorable - we've rounded up some of the worst kits of August 2023 for you to vote on.
Worst Football Kit of April 2023
Standing out the pack is the Adidas Fulham 23-24 Away kit, featuring a striking pink that is sure to make a statement. The Adidas Leeds 23-24 Third kit is also a contender, with its strange mix of pink and yellow.
Third kits allow for experiments, but some did not work out
Meanwhile, the grey Hummel Everton 23-24 Third kit comes with an oversimplified tower instead of the club crest - you would expect that as a collar detailing but not as the key element of a kit.
The big clubs are also featured - Milan's fresh color scheme is something you wouldn't not expect for a traditional Italian club, and Tottenham's Taupe Haze kit is surely not optimal for playing football and seeing your teammate.
Which kit do you think is the worst of the bunch? Cast your vote now and let us know in the comments below.
