Printed numbers for football shirts
What truly sets this kit apart though is its level of detail. Peru’s 1978 World Cup kit left an indelible mark on the world as the South American underdogs finished in the top eight for the second consecutive tournament. The German outfit finished as runners-up in the league and European Cup in 1979/80 while wearing this tidy shirt, which adidas produced following their takeover of the now-defunct manufacturer Erima. The quintessential yellow and blue stripes were on show during Parma’s historic 1998/99 season, where they secured the UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia in impressive fashion. The flames imprinted on the sleeves made sure this was an instant classic, even if there was no real explanation as to why they were there in the first place.
