It really depends on the era you gre up in and where your allegiances lie I suppose.

For me, 86 Argentina and 90 West Germany are very hard to overlook.

Just something about that France 98 kit. 90 is definitely unique. England 66 is of course legendary.

Looking at the image, I hadn’t realised that England 66 is the only one where the winning team wore their away kit in the final.

It's really held in such high esteem. Did Germany not have an away kit?

We'll look really good holding up the trophy in black with licorice all sorts on the side next June!

World Cup: What happened to England's 1966 shirts?

England's famous red jerseys are perhaps the greatest visual reminder of their World Cup triumph.

www.bbc.com

There was an excellent show on English TV where the shirts were sought. Lots of interviews, stories and travelling. They cleared quite a few up. It was on YouTube at one stage.

Well that's my afternoon sorted. 6 episodes.

I recall reading that even though England were the host, that didn’t mean they automatically were the “home” team. A coin toss was held prior to the 1966 final to determine who changed kits. Germany won the toss.

Forever picture Zizou in that... in fact most of these kits evoke a player image as well as an iconic moment...

Unfortunately the picture in my mind for 2022 is Messi holding the trophy while wearing the ridiculous Qatari cape.

AS an aside you realise there is probably 20-30% more gross profit on a $100 Rolex than on a $10,000 one....

Chinese sweatshop owners are NOT stupid and rely on western ultra-consumerism to fund their Fellali and LampoGuini collections. ..

2nd gen Italian kid at my school turned up in the Italy World Cup shirt just before the 1982 tournament started. Everyone took the piss out of him. The weren't by the end of the tournament....

I also remember him wearing a few different Serie A kits from around the same era. This when football shirts were rarely worn aside from actually playing football in.

You serious? That sh1t went viral worldwide..

Of course I saw it previously. I’m saying, jokingly, that you have now reminded me about it and imprinted it in my brain.
