Juventus stars including Cristiano Ronaldo have unveiled their new third kit for 2020-21, and it's hardly what you'd call easy on the eye.
The Italian giants have previous when it comes to retina-troubling alternate strips -- last year they foisted a blotchy pink mess of a warm-up kit upon an unsuspecting public.

Juve's latest third strip is described by manufacturers Adidas as a "bold orange," and it is the first time the club has had a jersey in that colour in their entire history.
There is no explanation for the splodgy, quasi-camouflage pattern, which gives the impression that the shirt should be held at arm's length at all times on health and safety grounds, but the overall concept is in line with Juve's tradition of always "looking to surprise and delight fans with unexpected ideas," apparently.

Several players were roped in to model the gaudy new uniform, though Douglas Costa did his best to physically repel it.
Ronaldo appeared to signal that the shirt was so loud it was actually damaging his ear drums.
Meanwhile, Paulo Dybala was left wondering what the funky odour was.
As with Juve's new home and away shirts, the third is inspired by modern art and serves as an expression of the club's "confidence and vibrance."
Who's going to tell them that it actually resembles the aftermath of a mass spillage at a paint factory?
