Beautiful and Iconic Football Strips

[Bus Honeygun]

Ships on shirts? Plymouth Argyle from the 60s/70s. The Mayflower is the ship, the pilgrims sailed on it to Massachusetts.

I had a thing about their strip because they were one of the few teams who played in green when I was a kid. But when I looked for it I found this. Which is quite nice.

But aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhh those cuffs!

That Argyle one is nice. I almost felt sorry for them when they won the play-offs in this monstrosity:

Pescara. They ran a kit design competition for kids during the worst of the first Italian lockdown, and liked the winning design so much (their mascot is a dolphin btw)

I think you'll find this is a far better picture of Robin Friday.

It's really not though is it? He's just waving his arm around like any other footballer. And there's no vengeful backstory. And the kit isn't as good. B-O-R-I-N-G.

Leaving aside particular iterations of it, I've always liked Wycombe's colour scheme:

Perfection.

I quite happen to like those cuffs. What an amazingly good shirt.

‘Toon Army’ comes from all the North Easterners chanting ‘we’re goin’a toon’ on the way to games...

That 70s offset stripe as per Cardiff City above is a winner. Not sure it worked for us - too much white....



.... but looked great updated for St Pauli.

That Cardiff one is a bit reminiscent of Dirty Leeds.

These are probably only beautiful and iconic to me, because I've played in all of them, over 30 years:

It’s all gone a bit psychedlic on the Isle of Thanet this season.

There’s four of these horrors, all looking like a nightbus seat that someone has vomited Blue WKD on

I approve.

This is the 1st season I've noticed O'Neills producing English football kits (Wycombe and Margate anyway). They're mostly GAA. The website allows you to buy replica kits and merch of all their obscure non-league team customers.

 

[steeplejack]

They’ve been around a while, as you say they mainly do GAA and rugby league. They’ve done terrible kits for Partick Thistle and slightly less bad for Hartlepool, too.

my first thought is that it had been sponsored by the former london wide municipal body...

I know the Coventry kit using the same Admiral template has already been proffered as an iconic kit, but this really is the best kit ever.
