West Germany - 1990
For en Englishman it may drag up memories that are too unpleasant to see the beauty. But this classic strip modelled by the likes of Klinsmann, Voller, Brehme, Littbarski and, our third favourite footballer of all time, Lothar Matthaus, is nigh on awesome.

Some would shun the pink strip, but only the brave benefit. Pick of the bunch is this belter. Palermo's 2006 strip. plus you could revel in the fact that everyone thinks it's a Juventus top. 'Tsk' you'd say 'don't they know anything?' while quaffing a goblet of wine.

Paris St Germain -- Canada Dry
Apparently: "In 1973 newly promoted from the second division PSG used this white shirt for their away games. The contract with the sponsor Canada Dry was negotiated by Bernard Brochand a young publicist who later became the president of the PSG Association." We just love it. And it's cheap...

USA - 1950
Some prefer the similar Peru kit of 1978 but for us the US have it. It's all in the v-neck collar. Possibly very popular north of the border as it's the kit the US beat England in in that game.

Zaire
In 1974 when Congo DR was known as Zaire, they became the first black African team to qualify for the World Cup. Not worth buying it just for that? How about the fact it has the word 'leopard' on it? Sold!

St Pauli - current
It's not all about Old School. St Pauli, the cult club of Germany's Bundesliga, have been garnering worldwide support for decades thanks to the carnival atmospheres at games and the left-leaning inclination of the club. Plus they make o kick-ass gold kit. It's also worth having a browse at the skull and cross bones clothing range.
