You’ll probably feel the need to bury something when you clamp your peepers around this week’s Shit Kits offering.

Presenting: Bury’s godawful away strip from 1993/94…

Though, in fairness, the harsh lighting in the first photo doesn’t exactly do Matchwinner’s heroically cavalier design justice – as a quick glimpse at this second, naturally lit snap will duly attest to…

Yep, it’s less blue – more washed-out mint green and lavender – but that’s not the end of the matter, oh no, far from it.

Bury played in this hideous purple and green monstrosity whilst on their travels the season prior (1992/93), which was almost enough to make the subsequent mint-green abhoration seem like a masterpiece of subtlety upon it’s release…

…and their away kit for the season after (1994/95) was barely an improvement either…

…then came the checkerboard/chef’s trousers away kit (1995/96)…

…all the while being made to don this abhoration when they ran out at Gigg Lane…

The Shakers were then granted a brief repreive in 1996/97 with a toned-down blue-and-red striped affair courtesy of Le Coq Sportif, before duly having their retinas set upon again in 1997/98 – when the club ‘okayed’ a change strip that seemed to be made from Peter Stringfellow’s old bed sheets…

The poor, poor buggers.
