Russian Side Yenisey Krasnoyarsk Will Have The Craziest Kits Next Season

Russian Side Yenisey Krasnoyarsk Will Have The Craziest Kits Next Season

It's as quirky as they come...

After achieving promotion to the top flight following on from victory over Anzhi Makhachkala in the play-offs, Yenisey Krasnoyarsk are embarking on their first ever season in the Russian Premier League.

And they have ensured they will stand out big-time with their kits for the historic campaign. The Siberian outfit unveiled their home and away strips today and they are like nothing you will have ever seen before.

We've come across some very brave and bold designs in terms of football kits in recent times, from Nigeria's spicy shirt to Spanish side CD Guijelo having a massive chicken leg on their green kit, but Yenisey's designs for the upcoming campaign offer a new level of uniqueness.

Their home kit is navy with a white colour but comprises of about 50 lion motifs and looks like something you'd find on a kid's Pyjamas or bedding rather than on a professional team's football shirt. Maybe they just just really like Aslan from Narnia?

Anyway, the away shirt takes things up another notch with what looks like one fuck off painting of the city, complete with the cathedral and bridge over the iconic Yenisei River.

The club's official website offers the following explanation of the nod to the culture:

"We cherish in our hearts the memory of what city we represent. The new form is not only an opportunity to share our pride in Krasnoyarsk with fans and rivals, but also an additional responsibility for everyone who will at least once come out on the field."

Naturally, the eccentric kits have garnered reaction aplenty on social media - with the majority of people not a fan:

It's a pity EA Sports no longer have the license for Russian Premier League teams as these kits would be perfect for Ultimate Team on FIFA 19...
