CD Lugo’s Octopus and Beer kits are the year’s best/worst

With the new season for most teams in Europe just around the corner, we were starting to get worried that there would be no real successor to last season’s king of awful kits, a little club known as La Hoya Lorca. Fear not, for CD Lugo, another Spanish team, have stepped in to fill the gap.

The Murcia, Spain-based club plays in the third division of Spanish soccer, the Segunda División B, and for two seasons in a row, wore an away shirt that was designed to look like a head of broccoli. If you thought that El Brócoli Mecánico (AKA the Clockwork Broccoli and yes, that is their actual nickname as of the 2011/12 season) were going to be unchallenged for the title of world’s worst kit, you would be wrong.

Enter Segunda División side Club Deportivo Lugo, who are sponsored by beer brand Esterella Galicia, who have just unveiled a pair of kits for the sole purpose of marketing. The club already have a home kit in their traditional red and white stripes on sale as well as a mostly white away shirt and pastel-colored third shirt on sale but that wasn’t enough. No, for 2014/15, they have introduced shirts number four and five for sale and one will make you look like a pint of light beer while the other looks like an octopus’s tentacle is set to slap you across the face.
