We've complied just a snippet of our favourites below. Most utilise simple and clean design which aids to their timeless properties. Some are so over designed its ridiculous and some just stick in the mind for the memories associated with them.
Take Schmeichel's goalkeeper shirt from the 92 - 93' Premiership season. The colours clash, the pattern is hideous, yet we can't help remembering it! A classic kit which evokes so many memories (mostly bad as none of us support United!). How about the Norwich City shirt from the stella 92 - 93' Uefa Cup season. Any shirt that sees an East Anglian team beat European giants Bayern Munich is surely ear marked to be a vintage!
On to the minimalist classics… the 95' AC Milan shirt goes down in history for two reasons. Firstly for its great design, completely stripped back with only the essential sponsor and badge being present. Secondly, because it was the shirt George Weah wore when he scored one of the best goals of all time, running around 80 yards from area to area, beating around 8 players on his own and coolly slotting it home! The 88' Liverpool shirt must also be heralded as a classic. Probably our favourite sponsor from over the years, the 'Candy' shirt as we like to call it was donned but such players as John Barnes, Ian Rush and Peter Beardlsey.
Honorary mentions also go to the 83' West Ham shirt, 90' Italy World Cup winning shirt, the 88' Arsenal shirt and last but by no means least, the 93' Man United away shirt.
What are your favourites?
