Remember the soccer team that went viral after they released a tuxedo-themed kit? Perhaps you saw the stir caused by a muscular uniform that made the players look like figures in a medical school textbook? Or even the club that fielded a team of players all dressed as The Hulk? Well, behind some of football's most infamous, bold and eye-catching outfits is a former player turned visionary kit designer.
His name is Juan Francisco Martin Fresneda, 49, a TV executive in Castilla y Leon, Spain, who dreamed up Cultural Leonesa's jersey that looks like a dinner jacket and bow-tie and Palencia's "skinless" human torso strip.
