[OC] An insight in the world of football kits - 454 teams that play in the most unusual colors

I would like to start with a humble warning, that this will be a longer than "usual" post. Hopefully, it will compensate with the amount of information you might deem as interesting. :)
​
After finishing my first journey into the world of colors in football, by counting which teams play in red & black color combination, I decided to pursue my next curiosity:
How many football teams in the world play in unusual colors?
By this, I was thinking of teams which have a “main” color that is rarely used (grey, brown, purple, pink, etc.) or use an uncommon color combination.
Because of this coronavirus madness that is going on, I was able to spend more hours for this project than I planned, so in the end I was able to go into almost every single league in the world. I checked teams from over 400 divisions, of different tiers, from all continents. Although it’s not an official list, I tried to include as many clubs as possible on it.
Now, you're probably asking yourself "How do you measure how rare or how common is in football a color / combination of colors?"
An exact answer is impossible to give, so I started the study using my own experience as a football supporter, finally finding an useful purpose for the thousands of hours spent on watching football games. Therefore, I used a subjective point of view and excluded the color combinations that I, personally, considered to be the most common in football teams, namely:
​
The selection criteria for the teams were as follows:
  1. The team should have their main kit in colors which are different than the ones enumerated above;
  2. The team must have played or been associated with the colors for several seasons;
  3. The team should be currently active (dissolved clubs were not included).
​
But enough introduction, let’s jump straight into the list of the most uncommon kit colors in the world of football:

BORN AGAIN AT BURY?

Bury manager Ryan Lowe is determined to help Callum McFadzean get his career back on track after handing the Scottish midfielder a contract until January.
The 24-year-old began his career at Sheffield United but failed to establish himself and spent time on loan at Chesterfield, Burton and Stevenage.
McFadzean had a disappointing spell in Scotland with Kilmarnock before dropping down to the fifth tier of English football with Guiseley.

“I’m delighted to give him that opportunity to get back into full-time football because he deserves it.”

Beset by spiralling financial problems and poor results on the pitch, though, the Rossoneri failed to qualify for the Champions League last term, convincing a disillusioned Bonucci to opt to push for a return to Juve.

Sky Sports News reporter Jamie Weir cuts through the froth to find out what's really going to be brewing on Transfer Deadline Day.
13:04

CHELSEA EYE UP COURTOIS REPLACEMENTS

Athletic Bilbao’s Kepa Arrizabalaga is a goalkeeper target for Chelsea, Sky Sports News understands.
With the Blues resigned to losing Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid before the deadline after he missed training for a second day today, the club are focusing their attentions on securing his replacement.
Stoke’s Jack Butland remains their first choice because of the nature of the deal, according to Sky sources, which is expected to cost them £30m if they can act quickly - but that price will rise the close to the deadline it becomes.
Arrizabalaga would cost Chelsea much more, and a fee of around £70m would make him the most expensive goalkeeper in the world - eclipsing Alisson only weeks after the Brazilian joined Liverpool.
Maurizio Sarri would also like to go for Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak, but his £89m release clause is a stumbling block.
13:01

TERRIERS WANT NEW WINGER

Huddersfield are interested in signing Montpellier winger Isaac Mbenza, according to Sky sources.

GUDJOHNSEN SON JOINS REAL

The move could provide some friction in the Gudjohnsen household - dad Eidur famously turned out for Barcelona after leaving Chelsea during his playing career. And should he play for his national team at any point, he will follow in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather.
12:42

MINA ABSENT FROM BARCA TRAINING

Everton and Manchester United target Yerry Mina missed Barcelona training this morning, reporter Vinny O'Connor has just confirmed to Sky Sports News.

12:37

CELTIC REJECT BOYATA BID

Brendan Rodgers has been speaking ahead of Celtic's game with AEK Athens tomorrow night (preview here), and confirmed Fulham have rejected a firm bid for Dredryk Boyata.

12:24

LEVERKUSEN LOAN FOR THELIN

Bayer Leverkusen have signed Sweden forward Isaac Kiese Thelin on a season-long loan from Anderlecht.
The 26-year-old, who was in Sweden's World Cup squad, spent last season on loan at Belgian side Waasland-Beveren.

12:19

BURNLEY BACK IN J-ROD HUNT

Sky Sports News understands Burnley will make an improved £18m offer to West Brom for striker Jay Rodriguez later today.
Sean Dyche is becoming increasingly frustrated by the situation and wants a new striker in before the deadline - it's thought Rodriguez is keen on a move back to the Premier League in his home town, but is prepared to stay and try to get Albion back into the top division if a deal can’t be done.
12:14

LEICESTER CLOSE TO DEFENDER

Leicester City have a broad agreement with Dinamo Zagreb for young defender Filip Benkovic, Sky Sports News understands, with the Croatian Under-21 international due to fly to England later today for further talks.
The deal could cost Leicester more than £10m, but it’s understood Claude Puel considers him as a good prospect for the future, rather than someone who can go straight into the first team - and is not viewed as a Harry Maguire replacement.
12:09

SWANSEA WANT YEOVIL DEFENDER

Swansea are in talks over a potential deal to sign Yeovil’s Tom James, according to Sky sources.
The defender’s deal to West Brom collapsed over personal terms last week, giving the Swans renewed hope.
James is predominantly a right-back can cover anywhere across the back-four - making him an attractive possible squad member.
He played in Yeovil's 1-0 defeat to Bury on Saturday - but was sent off.

MAHREZ GETS ALL CLEAR

Riyad Mahrez has been given the all-clear to return to training after suffering an ankle injury in the pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich, Man City have announced.
The Algeria international only joined the Premier League champions from Leicester this summer.
12:09

LEVY CRITICISM 'GROSSLY UNFAIR'

Spurs executive director Donna-Maria Cullen insists criticism of Daniel Levy over the club’s transfer dealings is “grossly unfair”.
A large portion of the club’s fanbase believe the chairman is reluctant to commit large funds in the transfer window, with the club yet to sign any players with less than two weeks remaining until the deadline.
But Cullen told reporters in the US on their pre-season tour: “That is a misconception. Daniel works closely with the managers and always has done.
“He clearly identifies targets, works to get them, and we are no different to other clubs in not necessarily being able to acquire who might be top of your list for whatever reason. There are so many other moving parts in that whole scenario."
12:06

CARDOSO LEAVES RANGERS

Rangers have confirmed that Fabio Cardoso has left the club following the “mutual termination” of the defender’s contract.

Meanwhile, Kayden Jackson is close to completing a move to Ipswich, which could free up Martyn Waghorn’s transfer to Derby.
However, we’ve been told Derby owner Mel Morris remains reluctant to buy Waghorn, until and unless he can offload Vydra first as Derby are under pressure to stay within the FFP laws.
11:48

"As soon as the interest was there, Jody pulled me aside and said how great the gaffer is with young players and how I am going to learn a lot by being here, so it was a no-brainer for me once Jody gave me the go-ahead.
"The manager was really open and honest with me, over the phone and then when I met him face to face. That was a real eye-opener for me because he showed his belief in what I can do for the team. It was a no-brainer for me to come up here and show everyone what I can do."
