2023-24 English Football League Football Kits – BEST
NUMBER ONE – HUDDERSFIELD TOWN THIRD
Huddersfield Town are an easy team to forget in the lower reaches of the Championship, but they should be hard to miss in our favoruite Football League jersey for the 2023-24 season.
Sometimes less is more, and that certainly the case with the predominantly black number, but there’s enough going on elsewhere to make it interesting, and the sponsor’s logo all fits in nicely.
NUMBER TWO – AFC WIMBLEDON
Why wouldn’t you emulate the iconic Boca Juniors kit if you are a fourth tier English football club that wears blue and yellow.
What a magnificent creation it is.
And sponsored by the uber-sports nerdy Football Manager just seals the deal.
NUMBER THREE – PLYMOUTH ARGYLE AWAY
Continuing the less is more theme is Plymouth Argyle’s away kit. Just something so simply good good about Plymouth, who did a good job this season with a fine home jersey too which made our next best list.
THE NEXT BEST
And so to the best of the where Ipswich’s recent form on field and in the shop continues with a return to the orange.
Leeds, Stockport County and Carlisle have all come up with some magic blue numbers for the new season, that will no doubt catch the eye. Thee’s a hint of 80’s in a few of them, which ticks our box of course.
Watford produce another smashing jersey, not as good as the broken glass one from a few years ago, but good none-the-less. Coventry home kits always look neat, and maybe it’s the World Cup winning Argentinian look that gives it an extra tick.
Wrexham may be famous for their movie stat owners and TV show, but still look good in the away shirt. The West Brom shirt looks great too, and coincidentally looks like a stove plate which makes sense being sponsored by Ideal Heating. Charlton’s black shirt is the pick of the third tier away shirts.
2023-24 English Football League Football Kits – WORST
NUMBER ONE – CARLISLE AWAY
We’re not exactly sure or why a team would create something like the above to play in, wear to the pub, or use to wash their car, but it is truly awful.
Looking like it was designed by a four year old who was let loose in Microsoft Paint, it is certainly one to remember.
THE NEXT WORST
In no particular order are the rest of the worst football kits on offer in the three divisions this season.
Cambridge Utd have two shirts in our worst list, the first being a white-ish away shirt that looks like an early 90’s tennis shirt, worn by a Mats Wilander or Stefan Edberg. The second in blue and yellow looks like a beach towel.
Some teams with good with bad and make both lists. Maybe it is the photo we used, but Coventry’s away shirt looks like a tablecloth at a bad pizza shop, and Leeds’ alternative number looks like a kids finger painting picture from daycare.
Portsmouth’s jersey looks like a pig carcass waiting to be craved up by the butchers, and Rotherham’s shirt beside it looks like the butchers tools.
Both red and white offering from Stevenage and Barnsley look like they belong in a tenpin bowling competition or worse.
Green is not good for either West Brom or Forest Green Rovers, one looking like Chernobyl fallout and the other is just terrible.
The Blackpool away jersey looks like it may be more sorted to the Tour de France, as does the pink Sunderland jersey.
