Liverpool - a city that is not only home to one of
football’s most decorated clubs but
also to The Beatles, one of the style
icons of the twentieth century. Once upon a time it was also the
European city of culture. However, as the following pics show, football and style clearly
haven’t mixed. Liverpool FC is guilty of some of the worst fashion crimes ever in sport…
Check out this monstrosity from the 80s. The ludicrously short shorts are especially worrying.
Goalkeeper Kit 1995-1997
I know that goalie kits during the 1990s were
particularly awful (remember Aston Villa?!) but this has got to be up there. Can only hope it put off lots of
oppositon strikers…
FA Cup Final 1996
It didn't get much better pre-match either. Who can forget the infamous cream suits that the Spice Boys wore to the Cup Final. What were they thinking?!
Goalkeeper kit 1999-2000Francis Jeffers was so offended by this kit that he entered a fit of rage and chose to pick a fight with Sander Westerveld.
A Wembley
Cup Final remains one of the most prestigious events a football manager can
attend with members of the royal family
often being in attendance. As a result, most managers tend to rock up in their
best suits (see Robert di Matteo in the middle). Not Kenny Dalglish though, who
thought it appropriate to turn up in waterproofs and tracksuit. I think he’s finally realised his mistake
here.
Brendan Rodgers 2013There aren’t many people that can pull off a black suit, black shirt and black tie. Usually they’re tough, big and menacing. I’m thinking nightclub bouncers or the Italian Mafiosi. I doubt Brendan Rodgers fits any of those categories… Fortunately, a player’s arm blocks out some of the image.
Even
Liverpool players aren’t impressed by this kit which more resembles a Christmas
jumper.
Away Kit 2013-14 (2)
When players aren’t wearing the kit above they’ll wear this
number instead, which clearly has taken inspiration from the seat covers on the
London tube.
