Football kits are tied into the DNA of every professional club, and they’re a visual representation of what a team stands for.
Since every brand designing football kits are becoming creative with their designs, it is expected that they come out with a beautiful or terrible design.
However, the pressure of delivering top-notch designs every season, and the prerequisite for third and fourth football kits, have quite recently prompted brand designers to occasionally go for somewhat crazy designs. It’s the only explanation for some eye-watering display of awful football kits.
To every football player, the jersey represents everything to them while playing for their respective teams, whether the football kit carries a beautiful or ugly design.
Today on Cheapgoals, we’ll look at 10 of the boring and worst football kits of 2020.
Every new season in the world of soccer, sees brands designing kits experiment with new twist applied to some of the football iconic jerseys.
- Juventus – (Home Kit)
The brand company ‘Adidas’ designing the Old Lady kit, have actually experimented with more than four colors in other to find a suitable design for the team.
Last season they caused an uproar by getting rid of Juventus traditional stripes. Likewise, this season their design for the Old Lady raises an eyebrow among fans, by completely coming up with an awkward design.
As a matter of fact, there’s nothing much you can really do with black and white stripes of Juve, leaving it the way it was some five seasons ago would have been better. However, there’s nothing bad in freshening things up, but unfortunately, the home kit of Juventus for this year is nothing to write home about.
- Wolverhampton – (Away Kit)
If it were to be that jersey play football, then Nuno Espirito Santo side would be struggling to find their feet in the league because of their horrendous away kit.
The new Wolves away football kit is an absolute disaster, it falls under the category of the worst football kits of the year. The pattern of the design isn’t looking friendly, the color clashes like that of the gladiators locking horns in the arena.
The combination of the colors on the shirt seems like Adidas were trying to mash two or three shirts together which in the end was a recipe for disaster, and comes out as one ugly jersey.
- Arsenal (Away Kit)
The Gunners enjoyed the lucky aura that comes with winning the Community Shield with the away kit. However, the shirt isn’t the kind of jersey you would want to go the extra mile to purchase at a kit shop.
The jersey was likened to that of two-colored ice cream by the fans, as such that kind of design shouldn’t be associated with a reputable club like Arsenal.
Being listed among some of the worst football kits in 2020, it’s a well-deserved decision. Perhaps they might come up with a unique and beautiful jersey next season, but as it stands their away kit is somewhat awful.
- Genk – (Third Kit)
To say one of the biggest clubs in Belgium could settle for such a horrible shirt design still baffles. The shirt is a combination of gemstone and lime green color, and right from sleeves to the shirt sponsor logo, to the badge of the jersey, comes with a lot of color conflict.
The design is that worst, that it is voted by over 84 percent of the Genk fans as one of the worst shirts and term it hall of shame. The club crest also got the fans irritated, because it was supposed to be a monochrome tie in with the swoosh appearing in their traditional color.
But with the third kit design, it was converted into black and the sleeves come in green which doesn’t go well.
- Inter Milan – (Away Kit)
Nike and Inter thought of designing one of the best away kits, but unfortunately with this particular one, they’re wrong. The kit looks more like a draft board, noughts, or a sudoku board on it.
In the last decade, the Nerazzurri have usually donned lovely kits with their long time shirt sponsor Pirelli printed on it. The white and blue design which was described by their fans, as a black design is nowhere close to the previous Inter kits that wow the fan.
This particular away jersey for the 2020-21 season is absolutely hideous and awkward, no wonder it is rank among the worst football kits this year.

- RB Leipzig – (Away Kit)
RB Leipzig is one of the fastest-growing professional football clubs. The German club sponsored by Red Bull drink is no doubt a team with class and pedigree, but with their away kit for this season, it doesn’t depict a good club which they’re.
The away kit is a combination of two colors yellow and orange which was below the expectation of what the fans expected in terms of the design. The club crest and Nike logo being darker than the Bulls on the front of the shirt.
This design by Nike is so boring, ugly, and uninspired that it take no stress in describing it as a worse kit.
- Granada – (Away Kit)
If there is any word other than worse, then it should be given to this shirt. It has a classical collar on it, and such a hideous shirt shouldn’t have that.
The bluish-green is framed with yellow sleeves, with the sponsor carrying a big red W logo and the crest is blacked out, taking it away from the club’s traditional look of the crest is also baffling.
For some away kit design by Nike, it seems they decided in designing the away kit hideous, and as for Granada’s away kit, it depicts horrendous.
- Manchester United – (Away Kit)
If United’s away kit isn’t listed among this season’s worst football kits, then it’s a bias list. The Red Devil bizarre-looking savannah toned jersey whose mosaics are inspired by the fans found in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
As a football fan who has seen some of the best jerseys, seeing the United’s away kit explain how uninspired Adidas were with the design.
Some set of fans in Nigeria even call it zebra or tom-tom look-alike design which explains how worst it is on the eyes.
- Roma – (Away Kit)
Nike, one of the best designers just continuously decides to be the most confusing kit manufacturer. Sometimes, they turn up with an amazing and dope kit, while on the other hand, they decide to design something out of taste.
The Giallorossi away kit was poorly designed and has what looks like asphalt pouring from the armpit. Although the home kit is dope and classic, with this, it’s nothing but an error to the eyes.
Next season might come out finer than the current away kit, right now there is nothing that can take this away from the worst set of football kits.

- West Brom Albion – (Away & Third Kit)
If I call the away and the third kit of the side from the Hawthorn the most terrible football kits of 2020 it won’t be out of place. The away kit simply look directly like that of a fellow English team (Norwich City), which makes it hard to differentiate their kit from Norwich’s.
The question the designing company Puma, should answer is why such a terrible design? Perhaps they weren’t thinking before coming up with such a horrendous and tasteless kit.
West Brom kit is without a doubt the worst Premier League jersey of 2020 and it should be an automatic points deduction for West Brom.
