Are you aware of some of the most recognisable football strips around? Read more as we check out some world-renowned ones now.
Football kits come in all different forms and some are more identifiable than others. Just take AC Milan as an example. The red and black stripes are synonymous with the legendary Italian team. In actuality, many other teams all over Europe (and the world) play football in the red and black stripes, but not one person will think of any of them before the Italian team. A point that the new AC Milan owner is without doubt very happy with. Though not the power it used to be, the club remains one of the top 10 football clubs in the world, and the red and black colours have been used by the club since it was first started in 1899. They were reportedly picked to represent the players' insatiable enthusiasm (with the red) and the opponents' fear to challenge the squad (with the black). There is no doubt football followers will ever confuse the red and black stripes for being any other club.
One of the most supported football clubs in England, a very happy truth for the Chelsea FC owner no doubt, plays in royal blue. The all-blue strip grew to become incredibly well known in the last decade or so, when Chelsea reached such prosperous heights that it had not quite seen before. Established in 1905, the club has consistently played in blue. But, in its initial years it played in a much lighter blue and the all-blue kit was only introduced in the 1960s. The club is going through somewhat of a transitional stage at this point in time after years of dominance, but experts believe that there is no doubt the club will find a way to be back on top once more and its followers will relish observing players in the iconic royal blue lifting trophies once more.
On the subject of famous soccer kits, the most famous of all belongs to perhaps one of the finest teams to ever play the sport. The all-white Real Madrid kit is unquestionably famous. Ever since its establishment in 1902, the Spanish team has consistently played in the famous all-white kit – besides from 1 year where its home kit included black shorts (that move was abandoned just 1 year later). Seeing that the side is perhaps the best club in the world, it should be no big surprise that their strip is so different to all the rest of them – a detail that the Real Madrid president certainly likes. The club’s away colours are historically purple or blue but without any doubt, its enthusiasts and general football admirers all over the world will invariably affiliate the club with the regal white strip. After all, several of the world’s top footballers have put on the famous kit.
