Marco van Basten volley as the Dutch beat the Soviet Union in Munich to claim their only major international title. Home: The Netherlands’ orange home shirt is festooned with a geometric outline of a lion, echoing the emblem of the Dutch football federation (KNVB).. Home: A serviceable jersey but hardly a classic by Spain’s standards, with the red patchwork graphic giving the impression of a particularly aggressive dermatological issue. Home: Intended to represent the modern England team, Nike says that the home shirt was designed with unity and togetherness in mind. When an England legend speaks out about a kit, it must be bad. It seems almost embarrassing that it took until 2019 for the English women’s team to get their own kit, but when they did it was worth the wait. Gremio’s club colours were originally inspired by those of English club Exeter City. We stay in Ireland for this beauty of a sash kit from a club not afraid of doing things differently. Did you know the club had a “Rowdiest Fan” contest, won by a guy donning a giant soccer hat and chucking himself into the goal?
Flamengo wore this red-and-black hooped shirt for one of the most successful periods in their history as they dominated the Campeonato Carioca and won the Brazilian Championship, the Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup for the first time. Two youngsters called Roberto Carlos and Rivaldo helped them win the Campeonato Paulista, Rio-Sao Paulo Championship and Campeonato Brasileiro. Well, they did finally win the NASL Championship in 1977, spain jersey Pele’s final season. Not a memorable season for Inter as they finished seventh, had three managers and went out of the UEFA Cup in the first round to Lugano. This effort, from their second season in MLS, came off the back of winning MLS Cup and the US Open Cup in their first year. They won their first major tournament that summer and went on to win two more trophies, the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, in kits heavily influenced by this one. Which is a bit odd, as the Wales teams that wore it did absolutely nothing spectacular; the closest they came to glory was missing out on the 1982 World Cup on goal difference. A bit like Oasis’ music, it seems a bit bland on the surface, but look a little deeper and you can see so much more, including a pseudo-holographic pattern of the manufacturer’s logo that is typical of the period.
It’s a shame in a game like this and after a season like this. When you look at this kit you instantly see Totti — hair in a band, No. 10 on his back, strutting like a Roman deity. Former Arsenal star Ian Wright leaked the kit on Instagram before it was officially launched, although that slip of the thumb ramped up the pre-release clamour and sales went up an incredible 84% on the previous season’s strip. The former world heavyweight boxing champion had tried to secure additional landing slots at the local airport for flights from Liverpool after several charters were cancelled just hours before the jets were supposed to depart, leaving fans disappointed. Worn just once, to commemorate Dortmund’s 110th anniversary, this sleek strip sold out in just three hours. Wall Street started the abbreviated Christmas holiday week on a positive note, and buying accelerated in the late afternoon following a down week for the three major U.S.
A’ja Wilson, who led the Gamecocks to their NCAA title and has been the top scorer for the U.S. England forward Fran Kirby said: “It is great to see kits designed specifically with us in mind.” The Lionesses lost in the semifinal to eventual winners the U.S. New Order’s Bernard Sumner has actually worn this shirt as many times as the England players after he donned it in the video to “World In Motion,” England’s official 1990 World Cup song that included Barnes rapping. Look away now, England fans, it’s the kit that Diego Maradona wore when he punched the ball into Peter Shilton’s goal and somehow got away with what would become known as his “Hand of God” goal. This kit somehow manages to be incredibly retro but also very modern at the same time. The late ’80s and early ’90s were a great time to be an Ireland fan thanks to consecutive World Cup knockout appearances and memorable wins over Italy and England, and the kits were just as good.
