Napoli's new denim kit is an abomination

(SSC Napoli)

First Napoli wore a camouflage kit and it split opinion, but attracted plenty of attention. Then they made it worse by adding a bunch of yellow and called it "Xtreme." Now they've gone full USA '94 and then some by coming out with a denim kit. Not just a denim style shirt like the U.S. team wore at the 1994 World Cup — shorts too. Jorts, basically. They're calling it "Perfect Denim." It should be called "Insanely Denim."

As you can see, the players modeling it at the unveiling totally did not want to set themselves on fire...

Napoli's head of operations, Alessandro Formisano, said that the kit is "a versatile piece of clothing that can be used in work and in sports." But if you wear this to work, you will almost certainly be fired on the spot for being on all of the drugs in existence.

"We were inspired by jeans," he continued, as if that wasn't abundantly obvious. The new kit will make its debut on the pitch against Chievo this Sunday.

Though the old U.S. shirt is an obvious precedent, the actual inspiration might have been Barcelona.
