Tigers' shirt voted most hideous
The 1992-93 Hull City home shirt
The shirt was replaced after just one season
One of Hull City's more eye-catching strips has been voted the worst-ever football kit by fans.

The Tigers' strip from the 1992-93 season was the subject of much derision at the time and lasted just one season before it was hastily replaced.

Now, the tiger print design has been voted the worst-ever kit in a poll of 1,000 Sky viewers. Manchester United's 1995-96 away shirt came second.

Life-long Tigers' supporter Tony Sturdy told the BBC: "It's a disgusting mess."

Mr Sturdy, who runs Beverley Pine and Interiors, has turned his showroom into a shrine to the club.

He said he was "astounded at the time that anyone could design a shirt like that".

He added: "Maybe at the time it was considered in vogue but it's a disgusting mess."

No-one from Hull City was available for comment.
