So is England’s team actually sponsored by gaseous oxygen?

Apparently they don’t belong in the same sentence either! 😛

O2 is a telecommunications provider in England.

I think that looks great. For some reason he reminds me of a henchman from a 70’s James Bond movie or maybe a low budget sci-fi movie. Did they make _James Bond on Ice_?

Canucks? More like WTF…

That reminds me of a 1970s-era skydiving jumpsuit.

I’m surprised they left Hull City’s infamous tiger shirt off that list. Hull City traditionally wear vertical black and amber bars on their shirts, but in the 92-93 season, they decided to go with tiger stripes instead. Although the new pattern referenced Hull City’s nickname (“The Tigers”), the shirts looked absolutely ridiculous.

Indeed, in a 2007 Sky survey of English soccer fans, Hull City’s tiger-design was voted the worst-ever football kit: [SKY HD top 10 worst football kits](http://www.footballshirtculture.com/history/sky-hd-top-10-worst-football-kits.html)

Coventry City’s brown away kit from the late 70s normally does pretty well in these sort of polls:

I am happy to say that I own a replica of it.
