All the worst football-related Christmas presents
Candles, satanic zebras and hat for dogs. All the things you don't want to find under your tree
December 7th, 2016
Everybody love Christmas! The lights in the streets, the joyful atmosphere, the Christmas tree in the living room and all the presents. Yes, the presents! One of the most joyful things about Christmas (in theory), that sometimes turns into a real nightmare. Find them, give them to friends, accept also the bad ones. You’ve all been through this, you have to.
Football addicted have a little advantage, tough. Because everybody knows you can buy everything to a football maniac, as long as it has the club badge on it. It’s a guaranteed success. Or not?
An article from Soccerbible made us think, is it possible that between all the things you can buy from football teams there’s absolutely nothing awful? No, it’s impossible. There are plenty of them. And we’ve chosen 12 of them, one for every month of the year.
January - Juventus
First in the league and first to be criticized. In the bianconeri’s online store you can buy a gracious zebra with a satanic stare. Perfect for a dreamy sleep.
February - Chievo
“Look, I love you some much that I bought you Sergio Pellissier’s DVD”. If you’ve heard this sentence, we feel sorry for you. With all respect for Pellissier, this is one of the worst presents ever.
March - Roma
This tie is absolutely useless if you’re Roma supporter, but great if you belong to Gryffindor. You only need 37€ and a little modify to the badge and it’s done!
April - Bologna
Ok, it’s cheap. But still, this ceramic tile is one of the things we want less in the planet.
May - Genoa
Genoa it’s a windy city, but that’s not enough to justify this awful hat for dogs. They deserve nice presents too.
June - Sampdoria
There are no half measures with Samp colors, you love them or you hate them. These suspenders will probably make you hate them.
July - Napoli
An action figure of Marek Hamsik. There’s nothing more to say.
August - Empoli
“Tonki is a cardboard which can transform in a pleasant painting to make your room modern and likable”. Seriously?
September - Palermo
We only have one question for Palermo’s marketing guys. Why?
October - Inter
“I’m giving you this so you can celebrate all Inter’s victories in European tournaments”. The most bastard present ever, but also an own goal for Inter.
November - Sassuolo
We considered this as the worst Christmas present, but in the end, this 80€-car-polisher from Sassuolo has to settle for second place.
December - Udinese
A 90€ lithography with so many “Di Natale” writings on it and the number 200 (probably all the times the words “Di Natale” have been written). And the oscar goes to…
