#2 West Germany (1990)
The archrivals of the Dutch national team, Germany’s kit in Italia 1990 was almost as iconic, if not more so than the Dutch kit. The famous stripe across the chest of the shirt in the colours of the national flag of Germany, who at the time were still known as West Germany seeing as the Wall had not yet fallen in the country, gives the plain white shirt something else, because even without the stripe across the middle, it would still be a classic shirt.
Winning the World Cup is one thing, but winning it wearing this is something special, and the kit actually adds to the achievement in some way. A kit is always special when you can show it to fans and they instantly recognise it. Moreover, this also happens to be a very nostalgic kit.
When players like Rudi Voller, Jürgen Klinsmann, Andreas Brehme and Lothar Matthaus wear a shirt at the same time, you know you’re witnessing something special. They add to the shirt, and the shirt not only made them iconic, but it helped make Italia ’90 iconic and special.
The design, the old school original Adidas logo, and the players made this shirt so good and one of the greatest ever.
