A great tradition in German football is Werder Bremen wearing a special Christmas shirt around “Weihnachten”, though the substitution of a Christmas tree for the normal diamond crest on a standard shirt perhaps leaves people wanting a little more.
So in steps DesignFootball.com and the 232nd stage of the Kit of the Week challenge - a special Christmas Kit Challenge, no less.
The 10th challenge of this type really could have been won by any of the entries, although harshing our Yuletide buzz with Krampus, brilliant as the shirt was, seemed a little risky. Something less terrifying did indeed come out on top, and Silky Smooth demoting the aforementioned usual crest to wintery sublimation was a masterstroke.
The inclusion of diamond taping too and, well, with this Umbro-branded delight you are really spoiling us.
Truly, it was a fabulous challenge - also boasting some incredible photorealism, twice - and ensured an enormously fun vote saw out 2021.
