Worst Kit in Memory: Recreativo Huelva 2012-2013

I knew this was going to happen. I decided awhile ago that I would publish the Kits! articles all in one giant load, a care package in one fell swoop, so the kit obsessed footie fans like myself and my partner Hannah could find all the kits in one place. I then wrote a piece about my reactions to those pieces and I thought that would be the end of it. Oh, was I wrong about that. Maybe I need to consider adding Segunda kits to the mix because the new Recreativo de Huelva kits for 2012-2013 trump all the others.

Recreativo de Huelva: Kit sponsor is Danish manufacturer Himmel. They also sponsor Strasbourg and Las Palmas. The Spanish banking firm Cajasol is the main shirt sponsor. 


Home Kit: The home kit is a very untraditional adaptation of the traditional blue and white striped Recre kit. It has blue and white panels in the upper chest area. The stripes begin at chest level but taper off into pointed arrows near the waist.  The back has heptagonal panel connected by grey design that could conceivable be an X but that's up to serious interpretation. The shorts are white with blue and white striped designs on the sides. God only knows what depravity they've done to the socks.

Away Kit: I thought I had suffered enough but then I get a chance to see the away kit. In a sense, the color scheme is actually quite nice. I like red and I like white, but my God when did someone say it was appropriate to put polka-dots on a footie kit? Are they going to ride horses in a derby? Did they raid Pedro Almodovar's closet?  Or better yet my Mom' closet circa 1973? Next time hire a real designer and stop trying to ape Jean-Paul Gautier for the football pitch
