CD Lugo to wear beer, octopus kits for new season

Lugo are sponsored by local brewery Estrella Galicia, founded in 1906 by Jose Maria Rivera Corral, following his return from travelling in Cuba and Mexico.

As a result, one of the kits has been designed to look like a glass of beer (if you ignore the black sleeves and side panels), complete with bubbles.

A popular local delicacy in the Galician city is octopus, so naturally the other kit has a large, realistic octopus tentacle emblazoned on the front.

Spanish clubs have become known for outlandish kit design in recent years.

Thanks to their sponsorship deal with fast-food chain Burger King, Getafe famously sported kits that had a picture of the actual ‘Burger King’ on the inside of the shirt, that doubled as a ‘mask’ if a player pulled the shirt over their face Ravanelli-style after scoring.

Spanish third tier outfit La Hoya Lorca paid tribute to one of the chief exports of the Murcia region by designing a ‘broccoli’ kit while Lugo’s Liga Adelante rivals Recreativo went for a ‘Minnie Mouse’ away kit for last season (red with white polka dots).

And who could forget Athletic Bilbao’s ‘Guggenheim splatter’ kit in 2004?
