FOOTBALL kits are an essential part of each team’s identity, each season.
The home kits are usually tradition and the away kits are more experimental with colours and designs.
There have been many examples over the years’ Manchester United’s grey kit in the 1990s and Coventry City’s chocolate brown strip of the 70s spring to mind.

This trend has carried on over the years, especially with Manchester United, featuring David Beckham, launching their zebra-inspired away kit earlier this week that our very own Mason Greenwood will be wearing this year.
But what about the Bantams?
Bradford City have themselves sported some controversial kits over the years.
Here are a few examples, but City fans tells us the ones that you look back on and didn’t like your team wearing.
The future’s bright…
The Bantams wore (only on a few occasions last season) a very striking third choice strip.
The high-vis colour was billed as ‘vibrant orange’ and City definitely stood out, wearing it at locations including Grimsby and Salford.
No stripes
City’s home strip from the 2018-19 season proved fateful itself, as the team were relegated from League One following a chaotic and controversial campaign.
Too much claret and not enough amber seemed to be the opinion of a large section of the fans. It looked more like a training shirt.
Harlequin Bantams
City sported a series of experimental kits during the 1990s, none more so than their home strip worn between 1991 and 93.
The shirt featured a Harlequin-style diagonal chess board claret and amber design which looked more like a whacky design for a kitchen floor.
Checkmate
This may be a controversial choice for dodgy City kits, but I just don’t like the home chess board-style Nike shirt of the 2015-16 season.
Yes, it may have been worn by club legends like Stephen Darby, but the jersey is just a bit busy on the front, with small squares that fade towards the bottom of the design.
What's the Bantams' worst ever kit?
Tell us which Bradford City kit, home or away, you rank as the club's worst ever. Maybe send us a picture of you wearing it
