The 20 worst Premier League kits of all time including Manchester United’s zebra third kit

20. SOUTHAMPTON 2019-20 – Road Iconic bearer: Danny Ings

The combination of yellow and gray just doesn’t work. This offering from Under Armor is certainly not one of Southampton’s best kits.

19. ARSENAL 2012-13 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Thomas Vermaelen

Made from recycled waste, and no doubt soon back in the trash, Nike should have known better than to go with black and purple hoops.

18. LIVERPOOL 2014-15 – Third

Iconic wearer: Raheem Sterling

This is the first of two Liverpool kits in this list. It kind of seems like they ran out of ideas to liven up an otherwise boring black and gray hooped shirt.

17. MANCHESTER CITY 2021-22 – Third

Iconic wearer: Gabriel Jesus

Despite being one of the most prominent clubs in world football, City’s third kit for 2021-22 resembled the mock versions of kits sold on market stalls.

16. CHELSEA 2009-10 – Home

Iconic wearer: Didier Drogba

Adidas presented Chelsea with an unusual paneled kit worn on their way to a league and cup double. However, the shirt sponsored by Samsung would not win any fashion awards.

15. TOTTENHAM 2021-22 – Third

Iconic wearer: Harry Kane

A terrible outing from Nike, where the combination of purple and gray doesn’t work well at all. The different patterns add to the chaos of this shirt and the black trim also seems out of place.

14. EVERTON 2010-11 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Phil Jagielka

‘Lightning Pink’ was the official name of the color here and it certainly was shocking. Pink kits can work – just ask Juventus – but the strap and complicated Chang logo make this a mess.

13. WOLVES 2020-21 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Pedro Neto

This blue and white offering from Adidas is certainly not one of their best efforts, with the strip looking like it was hastily cobbled together.

12. MIDDENBROUGH 1996-97 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Fabrizio Ravanelli

What were errea thinking? Anyway, this was a little different. A blue splashed cross on the front of the shirt is topped only by the huge ‘BORO’ text on the right arm.

11. NORWICH 1992-94 – Home

Iconic wearer: Chris Sutton

Norwich re-released this shirt last season. It’s a cult classic for the club’s 1993-94 UEFA Cup achievements, but anything that attracts the moniker ‘the bird shit kit’ can’t be right.

10. MANCHESTER UNITED 1992-1993 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Eric Cantona

Another shirt that seemed desperate to be clear about the club it represented, Umbro made the all-too-subtle move of putting United’s crest on this blue and black colored kit. Not even Eric Cantona could pull it off.

9. COVENTRY 1992-93 – Home

Iconic wearer: Peter Ndlovu

Both of Coventry’s kits from their first Premier League campaign are pretty awful, but we’ll stick with the home option. Peugeot’s logo is strong and simple, but the designers didn’t seem to convey the same message.

8. BLACKBURN 1996-97 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Henning Berg

More cartridges that offered club-crest overkill. Asics zipped together a few sections of Rovers’ badge into a stripe down one side and a sleeve down the other.

7. MANCHESTER UNITED 2020-21 – Third

Iconic wearer: Paul Pogba

One of the most memorable shirts of recent seasons, but for all the wrong reasons, Manchester United wore this bizarre zebra style kit in the 2020-21 season.

6. NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1995-97 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Stuart Pearce

Uneven bush marks on both breasts ruin what would otherwise have been a passable Umbro effort with brewers Labatt’s sponsored.

5. ARSENAL 1991-1993 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Ian Wright

A design classic, but the hideous arrow pattern catches the eye and you could almost miss the adidas, JVC and especially Arsenal branding on the front.

4. MANCHESTER UNITED 1995-1996 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Gary Neville

United’s famous ‘invisible’ kit was supposedly hated by the players and Sir Alex Ferguson once threw it away at half-time during a game at Southampton – which they went on to lose 3-1 – because he thought his stars were struggling to see each other to see. .

3. LIVERPOOL 2013-14 – Third

Iconic wearer: Luis Suarez

Warrior and Liverpool partnership strikes again. Purple, black and white patterns on the shirt were bad enough, but it even came with strange socks.

2. Aston Villa 1993-95 – Out

Iconic wearer: Dean Saunders

Muller could have sponsored a decent Villa shirt, but black and green stripes separated by thinner red stripes – maybe not, asics.

1. MANCHESTER CITY 1994-96 – Gone

Iconic wearer: Paul Walsh

This didn’t go too bad with City’s classic black and red stripes for an away shirt… until you get to those bizarre white pattern spots.
