We have taken a look at 11 of the best non league kits of the 2020/21 season which has been created by a website called FOOTY.com.
They have trawled through the new strips of clubs from as high as the National League to as far down as the lower tiers of amateur football.
Many of those included have gone viral across social media, whilst a lot of new releases have either had fans rushing to buy them or had users slating the look of it.
A FOOTY.COM spokesperson said: “We know that many of these clubs are going through a difficult time right now so we hope this is a great feel-good story to get smiles back on faces. The ranking ensures their new 2020/21 kits enjoy a deserved moment in the spotlight.
“Amongst the top designs were several clubs from the North West, with 1874 Northwich, Northwich Victoria and Stretford Paddock all finding themselves in the final XI. There was also some joy in parts of the North East, with Gateshead FC and Durham City AFC both receiving plaudits for their rather colourful away and goalkeeper kits.
“St Albans City, who recently hit the headlines with their new “Enter Shikari” home shirt, came in at 10th place, while Halifax Town’s gold and burgundy third strip was a particular favourite in third. Loch Ness FC, quite unsurprisingly, claimed a place after their incredible “Nessie” strips went viral earlier in the summer.
“Malvern Town, meanwhile, were the only other side to receive acclaim for both their home and away kits, serving up the strongest collection of the summer. Banbury United asked fans to vote on their home kit for this season, and it seems like they’ve got their selection absolutely spot on, coming in at eighth place.
“However, after analysing lower league kits from all over the country, it was North Ferriby’s stylish away kit which ultimately came out on top. Featuring smart green and gold colours, the new strip from HG Sportswear has wowed the club’s supporters and other fans all over social media – as well as the FOOTY.COM judges.
“It’s a fairy-tale story for The Villagers, who recently saw their club liquidated and then reborn as North Ferriby FC. Just over 12 months later, they can now boast one of the best football shirts of the season, and will even be sent a small trophy in recognition of the outstanding design.
“The standard of non-leagues kits seems to get higher every single year, and plenty of clubs were unfortunate to miss out on a place in the list. This really is testimony to the fantastic design work being done by smaller kit manufacturers around the UK, with Farrellys Sport, The Terrace and Buccaneer Sports all gaining recognition.
“Beautiful football shirts aren’t just reserved for Europe’s biggest clubs, and these non-league minnows have put several elite giants to real shame. It’s been yet another spectacular year for kits, and clubs from the lower reaches of English football have certainly played a big role in that fact.”
