If there's one reason why Queens Park Rangers should be in the Premier League next season, it's that their kits look like Premier League quality.

Based on form on the pitch, the London club is deservedly in the Championship next season. It's just a shame that Lotto couldn't have produced better kits during the club's brief return to the top division in England.
