The Spanish football season has yet to begin but there’s already been tremendous controversy and a violent demonstration. What’s all the fuss about?

Would you believe a football jersey?

Athetic Bilbao’s new jersey has been described as “horrible,” “an ugly, unpleasant thing,” a “monstrosity” and “an insult” with one Bilbao player diplomatically saying it was “different, even challenging.” The club president, the man who probably approved the jersey, was left hoping it would somehow intimidate their opponents.

Let’s hope the artist who designed it stays clear of Manchester United. (Pride of Manchester has pictures of Red Devil jerseys through the years.)
