Shortlist of 20 iconic strips to pick from and you vote for your favourite.
I opted for the Brazil 1970.It was a tough call between that and Holland 88.
Is there any that aren't featured that you think should have.
Equally is there any stinkers that you hated,pictures required naturally

Had that dutch one and had the Villa version of the Denmark strip
On that list the list most iconic for me would be Liverpool, Brazil and Ajax but id have to go for West Germany as love it
My iconic strips not on the list would be England '82, Argentina '86 (No 10) or 80s Barcelona top

Probably Brazil but I’m not playing because there’s no Argentina kit on there, probably the most iconic colour combination behind Brazil.
Surprised France’s from 98 isn’t in there. Somehow found room for the Lionesses in 2019 - everyone remember that classic?

my 1, 2, 3 from the list just by date, England 1966, Liverpool pinstripes 1984, Germany 1990
However, for me the one I liked the best of all was the BFC one, I think it was worn for the 125 year anniversary but not positive.

Always liked Boca Juniors shirts so had to vote for that. Failing that the England 1990 one is a classic.

That Germany one for me. Ranks about 5th after a number of burnley items with Claret sleeves, Maidstone 1989/90 away kit and the sky blue amicon twente enschede away shirt.

France and Italy have had some iconic shirts. The France '84 Platini Le Coq Sportif with the red and white pinstripes for example. Better than a lot of the examples in that article.

Italy 82 and 2006 were great strips - they’ve had a lot of very nice strips.
Palace white with diagonal and Man City’s equivalent one as worn by the likes of Asa Hartford were both nice strips.
Burnley V shirt of course plus the plain crew neck one where the picture in my head is always Frank Casper.
Croatia strip always memorable and the Germany classic white one in the 1970s / early 80s with Paul Breitner etc is also a classic.
The 1970s Brazil strip has got to be the most iconic / classic of all time though...closely followed by the red 1966 England strip.

West Germany 1990 brings back a lot of memories of me as a 5yr old living in Germany at the time. I can still remember cars full of Germans driving round our estate beeping their horns and my dad giving them a victory sign... or something similar to a victory sign.

Got to be a mention for this controversial kit.
Anyone want to tell me why it was retired?
They also happened to be relegated from Serie A for the first time in 55 years that season.
