Over the years, there have been some incredible football kits produced by some of the world’s biggest brands. However, there are a few that stand out above the rest as the most collectable.
The first on our list is the classic Adidas Argentina kit from the 1978 World Cup, hosted by Argentina. This iconic piece of kit is known for its simple blue striped design that was distinctly Argentinian and for being worn by the likes of Diego Maradona and Mario Kempes who lead the host nation to victory in the final.
Another classic kit comes from the Netherlands national team at the 1988 European Championships. When adidas released the Netherlands 1988 national team kit, they had no idea that it would become one of the most iconic and collectible jerseys in history. The kit, which was designed by adidas’s legendary designer Peter Moore, was inspired by the Dutch “total football” style of play and featured a bold, graphic design that was unlike anything else on the market at the time. The Netherlands wore the kit at the 1988 European Championships, where they reached the semi-finals, and it quickly became a hit with fans and collectors alike. Over the years, the kit has only become more popular, with many fans and collectors view it as one of the most iconic and collectible jerseys of all time. The kit has been worn by some of the Netherlands’ most legendary players, including Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, and Frank Rijkaard, and it remains one of the most popular adidas jerseys ever released.
If we’re talking about the most collectable kits of all time, then we have to mention the Brazil national team’s kit from the 1970 World Cup. This kit is legendary for its distinctive yellow and green colourway and for the fact it was a superstar team widely regarded as the best team ever, lead by the incomparable Pele.
Finally, we come to the most recent kit on our list, which is the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ kit from the 2003/04 season. This kit is special for a number of reasons, not least because it was worn by an Arsenal side that went an entire season unbeaten, something that had never been done before in the Premier League.
So, there you have it, our pick of the most collectable football kits of all time. What other kits would you add to this list?
