TTU Awards 2012-13: Worst Kit
TTU Awards 2012-13: Worst Kit

Last year, we were left befuddled when, despite numerous attempts on this blog to engage with weightier issues such as the economic geography of football, financial troubles and foreign ownership, these efforts were outperformed by a missive expressing dislike of Brighton’s day-glo green and black away kit. This year, by contrast, the choice has been much simpler.
Cardiff City proved themselves to be a mighty fine football team in 2012-13 but the club’s decision to ditch their traditional blue for Malaysian red was simply indefensible, and made for confusing viewing on the Football League Show, particularly when up against opposition wearing blue shirts and white shorts as happened a couple of times during the season. As Steve Gabb of the Spirit of Mirko blog pointed out when he appeared on an episode of the We Are Going Up! podcast, they compounded it all by using a template design peddled to them by Puma.
In addition, Gillingham‘s home effort may have been celebrating/cashing in on some sort of anniversary – but the lace-up collar made the team look like the bar staff of a Bavarian-themed pub.
2011-12 winner: Brighton (away)
2010-11 winner: Southampton (home)
2009-10 winner: Newcastle (away)

June 5, 2013Cashing in is certainly the right way to describe that Gills kit. Celebrating our supposed centenary when we are 119 years old. Back to blue next year thankfully.
