The five best carnival football shirts For some teams, Carnival is a serious matter

There is a football jersey for every occasion. This season alone in Serie A we have seen a jersey for Christmas, one for Chinese New Year and even two jerseys for Valentine's Day. What was still missing in the Italian league was a jersey dedicated to Carnival. But this is too greedy and special an occasion to neglect, and indeed in recent years we have seen several European clubs most connected to local traditions offer their fans jerseys to mark the celebration. In some cases, the carnival has been a kind of green light for funny, not to say tasteless, jerseys. On other occasions, technical sponsors have managed to design jerseys that nevertheless reflect the goliathic spirit of the occasion, but without betraying the principles of style, because after all, a jersey has to be beautiful and please the fans in order to be sold. That's why we have put together the four best jerseys for carnival, made by four different brands.

Cadiz - 2022/23

Portobello FC is a non-professional London based team who plays in Middlesex County Football League, Division 2. Their shirts, created by American sportswear Icarus Football, are completely inspired by the Carnival that takes place in August at Notting Hill. They have three jerseys for this season and the best one is the Away Jersey. It’s a shirt with close resemblances to Serie B side Venezia for the color choice as all over the jersey it develops a zig-zag pattern of alternating orange, black, green and white.
