If Bedale AFC’s fans aren’t drooling over their team’s football next season, they might well be drooling over their shirts.

That’s because the North Yorkshire side, who won the 2017/18 North Riding Football League division one title, have gone all out in creating a kit for the 2018/19 season that makes them look just like hot dogs.

Meanwhile the back of the shirt features numbers in the shape of sausages as well as the phrase “You’ll never pork alone”.

The 2017/18 kit also had a sausage theme and was voted the seventh worst in the world according to an online survey, earning the club international fame.

This year those involved hope the kit will rank even higher, aiming for a top three finish in the world’s worst kit stakes.

Meanwhile, assistant manager Ian Richardson said: “After being voted seventh worst kit of all time in an online survey last year, we are determined to make the top three with our hot dog kit.”

Here’s hoping the team score a few bangers this season, as well as securing the wurst kit of the year.
