Chelsea, Rangers, Juventus: The worst 2022/23 kits to be released or leaked so far

Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool and more have all gotten the football kit season underway with their releases for the 2022/23 campaign.

Once the curtains have been drawn on all the club football action of the year, supporters often turn their attention to the apparel that their beloved players will be sporting next time out.

After all, pooh-pooh annual releases of home, away, third and fourth kits as much as you like, there’s no denying that they can take on a wider cultural significance that transcends the sport.

It only takes a memorable trophy-winning campaign or era-defining goal to be produced in a certain kit to ensure that it’s enshrined in the minds of millions for years and years to come.

However, there are some jerseys that, well, fall so far short of the mark that even lifting a Premier League title or scoring a bicycle kit in its threads can’t stop fans from turning their noses up at it.

And while the judgement of football shirts is – of course – ultimately a subjective exercise, we can’t escape the fact that certain designs are loved a lot less than others across the board.

Liverpool fans must want to forget the ‘tribal tattoos’ on their shocking 2012/13 third kit just in the way that Barcelona fans probably want to dispel the memory of their horrid half-orange-half-yellow away strip from the same year.

And although none of the 2022/23 designs on the table for the upcoming campaign quite sink to those distressing lows, there are undoubtedly some mishits amongst the gems being lined up.
