The club claim that the carpet is 'lucky'.

Russian club FC Rostov have released a strange new fourth strip. 

The kit is inspired by two supporters, who both bring a carpet to their games in order to bring the Russian outfit good luck. 

Despite the unconventional design, over 500 supporters have already pre-ordered the kit.

The myth is that a Rostov supporter was renovating his house and didn't have any room for his old carpet so he took it with him as he went to watch the 4-0 victory over Yenisey Krasnoyarsk last weekend.

Fellow supporters now believe that the carpet is a good luck charm, and will want it at every home game this season.
