The team that play in Division B, the 3rd division in
Spanish football, have a kit that is covered with broccoli on the back and
front and the kit also has matching shorts. However, the shirt seems to be
selling very well and drawing a lot of attention to the football team.
The coach of the football club, Jose Manuel Campos, told BBC
News Round that the shirt is ugly, but argues that the club felt “familiar”
with it and that it has drawn attention to them.
The team is based in an area of Murcia, Spain which famous
for growing and selling the broccoli and is apparently the area’s most
successful export in the last few years. Due to this, the team has the football
shirt that it currently has. One player, Alfredo Ortuno, seems determined to
see the positives. He chooses to see the shirt as ‘original’, rather than ugly.
What do you think about this rather unique kit?
