The TOP 5 Retro Football Shirts

With another year done and dusted, the team at Soccer Studio reflect on 2022 and have been racking our brains about the top 5 Retro Football Shirts (National Teams) of all time. Here is our list hand picked by the team at SS. We’ve had some help from our customers too by looking at some of our most sold shirts! All shirts any more are available to order from us with the links below.

 1.       1988 Netherlands Home – Cliché we know BUT does it get any better than this? The design and simplicity of this Retro shirt is spot on. This shirt was worn in the Euro 1988 final which was held in West Germany. The Netherlands beat the Soviet Union in the final 2-0 with 2 of their key players getting on the score sheet, Gullit & Van Basten.

2.       1990 West Germany Home – Apologies in advance to England fans. This is a timeless design which Germany still feature and pay tribute to with some of the most recent shirts. When you think Classic Football Shirt this one immediately springs to mind. Germany or more specifically ‘West Germany’ back then beat England on penalties in semi-final which progressed them to a final against Argentina which they went on to win 1-0.

3.       1998 France Home – This one is a huge fan & customer favourite. Especially with a custom name/number set like Zidane 10 or Henry 12. France won their first World Cup in this shirt and it’s gone down in history of one the greats. Their team back then was full of stars from Premier League & Europe such as Vieira, Blanc, Deschamps, Desailly to name a few. Pair that with a prime Zinedine Zidane and you’re destined for greatness.

4.       1998 Mexico Home – This famous Retro Shirt makes our Top 5 from design alone. You will not find another shirt like this (apart from the away version). The Aztec design is unique and eye-catching. The Mexico team made it past the group stages that year but sadly fell at knockout stages to Germany. Some famous names you may recognise that wore this; striker Luis Hernández and midfielder Cuauhtémoc Blanco.

5.       2002 Brazil Home – Another customer favourite, usually paired with a name & number from an emphatic striker by the name of R9. You can’t have a top 5 without a Brazil shirt. The yellow and blue is iconic and 2002 was a great year for them, winning the Korea/Japan World Cup with a star studded team with Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Cafu. Football peaked in this era.
