Every year, someone fines a football shirt to label the craziest of the season, and we think we’ve found an incredibly strong early contender.
You may not have heard of them, but CD Lugo from Galicia, in the third division of Spanish football, will now be memorialised in pieces like this for years to come.
They’ve provided a nod to the city’s history with two new shirts – with the Roman-inspired one being particularly eye-catching.
It’s based on the armour worn by soldiers that arrived in the city, then-named Lucus Augusti, in the first century BC.
meanwhile, the other shirt pays homage to traditional Galician aesthetics from the pre-Roman era.
This isn’t, however, the first time that the club have had a football shirt of a similar ilk.
They took brand integration to the next level for the 2014/15 campaign, with a pre-match shirt in the design of a glass of beer – with Estrella Galicia as the sponsor.
This one is so iconic that it’s currently rated the best kit in the club’s history on Football Kit Archive.
They also, that year, gave us another option – with an octopus tentacle, as a nod to Galician cuisine. We can’t imagine too many people would wear this one to a family event.
Those shirts, along with the new ones, are available online at the club’s site, or at their physical store.
