Best Kit Ever.
Okay geezers and geezerettes,
Following on from the Name That Strip thingee, what do you
regard as your top three football kits of all time? For whatever
reason, style, colours, personal memories, what moves your groove
(or grooves your move, or, um, something).
Mine are, in order;
1) Holland 1974. The orange adidas (except for Cruyff, of
course, who wore two stripes down his shirt sleeves and shorts
instead of three due to contractual obligations with Puma)
masterpiece, my favourite as I fell in love with the game at this
time and this side were the guys who ignited my passion). Exotic
numbering too; they were numbered alphabetically, again, except for
the obstinate Cruyff, who should have been number 1, but got his
preferred 14.
2) Coventry circa 1977-78. The all light blue Admiral number
with the white and black trim from the shoulder to the bottom of
the shorts. This was also the time of their infamous all-brown
affair, which they agreed to wear as a favour to Admiral who
had incorrectly ordered a run of brown material from their supplier
and couldn't return it.
3) Brazil circa 1958. Very similar to the kit they were
wearing in 1970, but with a proper collar instead of the
round t-shirt neck. Designed by a chap called Aldyr Schlee in 1953,
using the colours of the flag.
Bubbling under; Leyton Orient tramlines circa 1978-79 (red
away), LA Aztecs all orange as worn by Best, Liverpool's late 80's
silver/grey with red trim away kit, Middlesbrough's Jack Charlton
designed mid 70's ensemble with the broad white chest band and
Eastern Suburbs braver-than-brave whie with brown centre-panelled
kit from the late 70's.
old school adidas all the way, not a big fan on all these added
swooshed and key lines just to makethe top slightly different or
the movement of the logo and crest to the middle just to make you
buy the next seasons top
All whites home strip by mitre 1997/1998 (note I'm
wearing it in the bottom left corner of my ID phto from Rexham a
few weeks ago!
England 1966 was nice and simple. Leyton's is good, so too is Man
United.
Hull's tiger design makes you want to throw up.

I always like the Argentina kits - I think the blue and white
stipes are nice. One of my favourite West Ham kits would be
the away one from the early nineties with the same sort of design.
Here is the great coventry brown one
Wales had a class one at the time, with the same style, but
red with yellow and white down the side of it. I used to have
that shirt as a kid.
The Wales kit made by Admiral actually had yellow and
green stripes down the side and I agree with your
assessment, it was very cool. It had the Admiral logos on the
collars too, instead of the chest, which had the badge in the
middle of it. Others that had the same design but with different
colours were Dundee, Saudi Arabia, Belgium and Tulsa Roughnecks.
Admiral were one of the real innovators back then. Some of
their kits worked - like the Coventry one, the Spurs one with the
logos around the collar and the first England kit they made, as
organised through Don Revie and his Admiral/Leeds connections.
Others didn't, Leicester City, Palace yellow away.
I'm chuffed as Orient have brought back the old red away
braces strip as their home kit for next season.
Argentina always looks sharp. Inter's Blue and Black stripes are
good, the AW's adidas black strip and I like Borussia Dortmunds
fluro yellow.
the old kingz 1 with the red loto on the arms.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can't I post images??!
this is one of the worst in arsenals history if you ask
me.
would have to be my fav, plain and simple, no manufacturers
logo.
This is my favourite. I do really like the older style.
No sponsers just good old club tradition.
Yeah, the Arsenal away is one of the worst in football history, not
just the club's. It's known as The Rotten Banana.
Celtic (and Oldham) had a horror-story fluoro freen with
jagged white and black chest panel in the early ninties that was I
think the worst kit ever.

Best kit ever has to be any Everton kit, ever, especially the
1920 Dixie Dean one with the string tie up. Classic all Blue with
the old school EFC logo. NO ADVERTISING

Big call mate; we've had some shockers in the past!
The new Everton strip aint that pretty
those white stripes wtf
is that about.
AC's current home strip is pretty cool.
The Truman era Wimbledon shirt. As modelled here by the vice-grip
of Mr. V Jones,
And at the risk of being totally bizarre I've always enjoyed Romania's kits.

the all whites current away shirt and real madrid's shirt
Orlando Pirates (South Africa). Black with a great skull and
crossbones logo.
This was my fav, one of the first silky strips.
Yeah, the Palace "Thunderbirds" Admiral one, nice.
Sadly, the away kit at this time was a nightmare, yellow with
these weirdo black shoulder thingees.
