Worst 5 kits in Europe: 2017/18

#1 Borussia Dortmund- Third kit

The Yellow Wall might just instinctively sing lullabies on Dortmund's games away from home this season. If their away kit doesn't remind you of slumber, I don't know what will. Even primary school kids don't want to be seen outside their homes in their pyjamas. So what's up with these grown ups wearing a morbid shade of grey when, oh, only the entire world is going to be watching them?

They've retained (more like dropped a spot) the yellow and it is criminally restricted to the crest so as to ensure that the thunder of the grey is not stolen.

Well, Puma, when Dortmund suggested something for the night they surely weren't aiming at bedtime fabric.
