Ever since the Football League insisted on its ruling back in 1890, clubs have had to produce away kits so that their home strips don't clash with opposing teams' own first-choice colours.
Traditionally, away kits are a completely different hue to that of their opponents so there is no further clash between, say, Manchester United and Liverpool both sporting the colour red. Someone forgot to inform Spanish outfit CP Cacereno of this obvious fact, however, in their away match with Jerez after the former's home and away kits both clashed with the hosts' green and black strips.
How do you go about rectifying such a situation then? Well, if you're Cacereno, you improvise. By wearing white t-shirts. And scribbling your name and number on the back of your shirt in permanent marker:

Taking to Twitter after the game, the club explained the reason behind the faux-pas, saying: "The referee did not allow us to play with either of the two outfits we presented to him."
Unorthodox, maybe, but it worked even better than expected for the away side, who ran out 3-1 winners over Jerez.
