Fashion Faux Pas: Marseille Edition

By: chris | August 10th, 2008

This is the year Lyon is supposed to go down, with Bordeaux and Marseille lining up as the hopeful victors. Well, if Marseille ends up winning they’ll be doing so in one of the worst kits in history. Somebody – Helen Keller maybe? – has decided that a good choice of fashion this year would be an argyle sweater vest-cum-sleeves-onesie type thingy in three shades of blue. Maybe, just maybe it’d look good on some JC Penney wannabe model, but it’s extremely rare when fashion and football can come to some harmonious agreement. This is not one of those days.

Now I realize that in some parts of Europe this kit is considered pretty chav-tastic, but over in the US, argyle has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity over the last couple of years. It's worn more by hip 20- & 30-somethings than by old grandpas on the golf course.

anyone else thinking mid 90s coventry?

im not gonna lie, I think they are pretty ill too - but plaid stinks on me.

You guys who don't like this kit are fucking bananas. It's ridiculously hot. I'm also typing this while wearing my town All-Star Little League baseball jersey from when I was twelve, so what do I know.

Rogan and Ursus Arctos: Little exchanges like this one are the reason I try to never, ever miss any of the comments on this blog. :-D

Ein Deutscher schreibt "American"?

Duden, please.

If created to confuse the opponent, it works.

Gaston, exactly. You'd see them on the golf course, on old men wearing white Sansabelt pants pulled up to their armpits and white golf shoes and a Scottish tam.

Oh, wait. That was Caddyshack.
Tommy Wong

I like them a lot actuallyyyyyyyy..........
gaston

this kits remind me of old mens vest
Matt

I saw these in a shop yesterday and I was looking around for the hidden cameras. Could have sworn someone was playing a joke. They don't even feel right, they're very scratchy-ish.

Oh and Rogan- I didn't realize ze Germans were ze kings of culture. I mean McDonalds I'm sure is real grateful for the Hamburger, thanks for that buddy.

rogan

ein American sprechen von kultur?

Those kits are awesome! It is a lot better than the boring normal adidas kit with some solid color and three stripes. Props to Marseille for thinking outside the box! These are a lot better then their creamsicle kits last year!
erik
