Take a peek at the free article beneath as we discuss just a few of the most iconic football teams and the iconic kits that they play the sport in.
Soccer kits come in all various forms and some are more recognisable than others. Look at AC Milan for example. The red and black stripes are interchangeable with the spectacular Italian club. If truth be told, many different teams around Europe (and the world) play soccer in the red and black stripes, but no one will think of any of them ahead of the Italian giant. A detail that the new AC Milan owner is likely very pleased with. Though not the force it was previously, the club continues to be 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 founded in 1899. They were apparently 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 point for the Chelsea FC owner unquestioningly, plays in royal blue. The all-blue strip came to be tremendously distinguished in the last decade or so, when Chelsea got to such prosperous heights that it had not seen before. Formed in 1905, the club has always played in blue. That said, in its very early years it played in a much lighter blue and the all-blue strip was only introduced in the 1960s. The club is going through somewhat of a transitional stage at this point in time after years of prominence, but industry experts believe that there is no doubt the team will can be back on top once more and its supporters will take pleasure in witnessing footballers in the famous royal blue raising trophies again.
When considering iconic soccer kits, the most legendary of all belongs to perhaps one of the most brilliant teams to ever play football. The all-white Real Madrid kit is genuinely legendary. Since its establishment in 1902, the Spanish team has consistently played in the famous all-white strip – except for one year where its home strip included black shorts (that move was done away with 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 others – a thing that the Real Madrid president undoubtedly likes. The club’s away colours are traditionally purple or blue but without any doubt, its supporters and general soccer supporters around the globe will frequently link the club with the regal white strip. After all, a number of the world’s top players have put on the legendary kit.
