Good, Bad and Ugly kits from the past – West Bromwich Albion
Good – home shirt 1984 – 86
This has to be one of the weirdest advertising campaigns on a football shirt, with a no-smoking symbol on the front of West Brom’s shirts.
The West Midlands Health Organisation paid for the symbol and it stayed there for two years between 1984 and 1986.
Bad – home shirt 2014/15
This shirt was only worn for one season and was a complete change in design from West Brom’s usual navy blue and white-striped shirts.
Thin blue pinstripes on a plain white body just didn’t look like a West Brom home shirt at all and was ditched at the end of the season.
Ugly – away shirt 1992/93
West Brom had a change of design to all three of their kits back in 1992/93; the shirts were made up of a barcode style design with thick and thin vertical stripes.
The home shirt was West Brom’s usual navy blue and white, the away shirt is the one above and the third was the iconic yellow and green colours.
Albion also had the same shirt design for the following season, but the sponsorship changed from Sandwell and the second Coucher and Shaw.
