Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest and Adidas completely missed on this kit. With no sponsor to start the year, this kit looks dead and similar to a practice jersey. In their second consecutive season in the Premier League, Forest produced the worst kit of the teams. There is no life in this shirt at all.  Luton Town In their first-ever season in the Premier League, Luton Town released an uninspiring jersey.

With 11 official games and 19 books, the lore is quite convoluted and complicated but done well by Cawthon, making the timeline and details of his FNAF universe so interesting.
