Braga release bizarre new armour third kit inspired by Ancient Rome soldiers
SPORTING BRAGA have released a bizarre new armour third kit which is said to be inspired by soldiers from Ancient Rome.
The Portuguese club's strips are supplied Denmark company Hummel, who unveiled a grey getup with an all-over graphic print and red logos.
There is also a strip of red under the armoured shirt, with Abel Ferreira's side also donning grey shorts and socks to complete the unusual kit.
The pattern on the jersey itself seems to pay homage to the troops of Ancient Rome, according to .
However, others believe the alternate kit is meant to represent the side of Braga's Municipal Stadium, which is made out of rock.
While one more pointed out that they are known as the Guerreiros, which translates as the Warriors.
The Archbishops are set to wear the armoured look in the Europa League next season, after finishing fourth in the Primeira Liga.
Meanwhile, fans have had their say on the interesting new kit on Twitter, with a poll of 10,000 people revealing that over 70% weren't a fan.
