YOU'RE SHIRT AND YOU KNOW IT

Fan loyalty is pushed to the limit with these ‘world’s worst’ football kits from AFC Bedale to England’s 1996 shirt

AFC Bedale's sausage-themed kit was voted the ugliest in Britain last season, and should win the title again — although it may not be the worst of all time...

FAN loyalty must have been pushed to its limit when these garish footie kits were released.

Amateur side AFC Bedale’s strip was rated the ugliest in Britain last season — and this week they held on to the dubious honour for next season’s effort, too.

Getafe’s Burger King-sponsored top had a king “mask” underneath that was uncovered if players pulled it over their heads to celebrate a goal.
