If that's the best the Evening Mail graphics department can do, then they're really in a trough too.

Those kits look like those little cardboard tab things I had as a kid where you had a tab for each team and then a set of tables so as you could do your own league tables. I think you got them from something like Shoot. Anyone else remember them?
