ITALY KITS 2004/05

Let's not talk about how Italy qualified for Euro 2004.............. but unlike other Puma teams they had a bespoke set of kits not like any other Puma design and featured gold lettering and numbering.

The home and away kits were of the same design, but there was a very rare navy third kit worn in Iceland, which I believe to be a training kit. I've done it with the same navy shorts and socks as worn with the navy goalkeeper kit, as the shorts/socks had the same designs.

Goalkeepers had four kit choices - red, yellow, sky blue and navy blue

Italy got knocked out of Euro 2004 when they finished third in their group behind Sweden and Denmark, despite not losing a match. Prior to their final group match against Bulgaria, Italy had to win and hoped the Sweden v Denmark game didn't end in a 2-2 draw........ but it did!

I've also started putting the collar info on the texture now so won't have to type the details out




 
Finally finished off the last remaining Euro '92 kits...

ENGLAND KITS 1992

Rather than introduce new home and away strips, England retained the same kits as worn at the 1990 World Cup, though for the Euro '92 tournament, front numbers and names on the back were added and the Umbro logo was updated.
A new third kit did get launched but wasn't worn until later in 1992 for a couple of friendlies.

New goalkeeper kit designs also got used at Euro '92, and these would be retained for the remainder of England's ill-fated 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign, when a new home kit got launched in 1993.

England had a poor Euro '92, finishing bottom of their group after a loss to Sweden in their final group match.

FC MIDTJYLLAND KITS 1999/00

In 1999, the club sides Ikast FS and Herning Fremad merged to form FC Midtjylland, to form a larger professional side to challenge the elite in Danish football. Ikast had worn yellow and blue, whilst Herning wore blue and white, so the new club decided on an all-black strip with red and white trim.

The first ever kit was a Puma design that had been introduced the previous year, with an all-black home strip and a white alternative, both with red details. The first-choice goalkeeper jersey was a typical Puma shirt of the time in grey, whilst a light green shirt, commonly used by Puma-sponsored teams in the Scandinavian region, was the alternate.

The outfield kits would end up being worn until the end of the 00/01 season, though the goalkeeper jerseys had been upgraded to new Puma designs.




 
I got too many WIP projects on the go :D

That goalkeeper kit design was also used by Canizares when he played for Celta (the yellow variant), as well as by Taffarel when he played for Brazil in 1992-93 (alongside other designs such as the pink variation of Thorsvedt's Spurs yellow goalkeeper jersey).

Yes I remember that, Cañizares also wore a red version of the same shirt ... bizarrely there was no number 1 on the back either, a strange quirk in Spain up until the early 90's... I remember seeing Taffarel wear the yellow shirt for Parma too at least once.

Also there was a green version of that Spurs goalkeeper shirt worn by Brazil around 1992...

He wore a red version too. About that quirk, I presume either that the kitman thought it had the nymber 1 or that they knew that the goalkeeper had a different-coloured jersey (I saw that it also happened in the UEFA Euro 1964 final, in which -clearly seen when the teams were lined up for the anthems, in the final- there was no number 1 on Iribar's black jersey when he played for that Spain squad).

About the green Brazil shirt around 1992, that was true.
 
LIVERPOOL KITS 2000/01

After wearing a rather retro-themed kit for the past two seasons, Liverpool had something a bit more modern in 2000, which went for a red collar trimmed in white. The away kit was now in a light shade of amber, with navy panels, while the previous green away kit was retained as a third strip and worn at Bradford City towards the end of the 2000/01 season.

This was the season when Liverpool were kings of the cups, winning the FA Cup, League Cup and the UEFA Cup - the latter a thrilling 5-4 win over Alavés thanks to a golden goal (remember that short-lived rule?)

All kits would be retained for 2001/02 - with the amber kit becoming the third kit.
Also, the new white away kit (which I'll post at a later date as the 2001/02 set) got previewed in 2000/01 for the UEFA Cup semi-final first-leg in Barcelona, Liverpool opting to wear it having worn all-white in their previous European meeting 25 years earlier.




 
BOLTON WANDERERS KITS 2000/01

Bolton retained their home kit from 1999/00 but introduced a sky blue away kit with navy panels.
The yellow third kit from the previous season (which had been the away kit in 1998/99) was kept on as a third kit, meaning it actually outlived the previous blue away kit!

The navy goalkeeper kit was retained but a new dark grey strip was introduced to wear alongside the away kit (though seemed to be the first-choice during the season).

Bolton would win the playoff final to regain their Premier League place after a three year absence.

The away template and the black, grey and green GK kits had lots of use during the 2000-01 season. The Liverpool and Bolton away template was used by South Africa at the Sydney Olympics as well by Atlético Madrid (with a light blue, dark blue and white version of the GK design).
 
Just want to drop a quick Merry Christmas / Nadolig Llawen message to everyone on here, your feedback and appreciation of my retro kit work has been an honour... hopefully I can finish off a load of stuff I got in WIP and post more kit sets very soon.

All the best :)
 
JAPAN KITS 1998/99

Oh these were a pain to make I can tell you :D
Anyhow, Japan finally qualified for the World Cup, four years after missing out on USA '94 in heartbreaking circumstances. The rise of the J-League domestically had made the game more popular than ever in Japan, with the Blue Samurai quickly becoming a force in Asian football.

The kits worn in the tournament were badged by local firm Asics, but at the time the JFA had a unique arrangement where they had the same designs but brand logos on the shirt cycled between Asics, Puma and adidas. This would be the last set of kits using this arrangement, as, from 1999, adidas would become the sole supplier to the JFA with their own designs.

I've had to improvise on the collars - they had a button loop fastening, which when opened had a red insert underneath, but when folded over they were white... I did a bit of trial and error, but felt collar 11, the proper "polo shirt collar" collar model in the game, was the best fit for me.

The goalkeeper kits were crazy!!! They'd actually be re-coloured versions of the goalkeeper kits worn from 1996-98, but now with a flappy collar. The lilac/yellow leaf shirt wasn't worn in the World Cup and was exceptionally rare - in fact I'm unsure what the actual shorts/socks colours were, so have followed the arrangement of the black/flame goalkeeper kit by having the shorts to match the shirt, and socks in a contrasting colour.




 
RANGERS KITS 1996/97

Rangers would win the last of their nine in a row of Scottish League titles in these strips, their last with adidas before joining forces with Nike in the summer of 1997.

The home kit was very very similar to the France home shirt at the time, but with a slightly different collar and, obviously a different shadow pattern... and was paired with the traditional black socks with red tops.

The away kit was a smart white shirt with assymetrical red sleeve and adidas trim, and grandad collar, bit like the Spain shirt design at the time, but mirrored. Whilst Rangers did wear this kit at Kilmarnock due to more liberal regulations on kit clashes domestically, an emergency third kit was needed in the Champions League for the group stage tie at Grasshopper Zürich. A typical adidas design in red was used, with teamwear black shorts, and the home socks.

The goalkeeper kit situation would probably have a post on its' own :D
The first-choice kit was white with blue/red adidas trim and black shorts, which Andy Goram favoured more often than not, even wearing it against Celtic. He'd also use the white home shorts too to make up an all-white strip.

The away goalkeeper shirt was black with a silhouette of the entrance to Ibrox Park on a "tequila sunrise" fade. However it seems as if Goram didn't like the shirt so he never wore it, though other goalkeepers at Rangers did. Instead, Goram wore some old shirts out of storage, including a de-badged yellow Umbro shirt that had the logo taped over, and the grey/purple Predator design from 1994/95, which he'd then favour alongside the away kit.

TURKEY KITS 2000/01

Turkey qualified for Euro 2000, and grey - a colour that had come into use on their 1998 strip, now had a more prominent part, featuring on the sleeves of the home shirt. The traditional chest band was now moved up the shirt to encase the adidas logo and Turkish flag.

The away kit was a standard adidas template introduced that year. At the time it seems as if Turkey had worn white as the first-choice, and red as the alternative - though they often wore red at home too. This wasn't really set in stone until Nike started making their strips around 2003.

Goalkeepers had the standard adidas template also introduced for Euro 2000, with a sky blue first-choice and a bright orange alternative.

Turkey reached the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time in their history, knocking out co-hosts Belgium in their final group match, before losing to Portugal in the quarter-final.
