Suited and booted: MM’s top ten classic Umbro Football kits:
4. Brazil 1994 kits
One of the greatest ever to behold at a World Cup is to see the yellow shirts of Brazil flowing forward as their players manipulate the ball with invention, freedom and joy on the biggest stage of all.
Complimented beautifully with green trim on those royal blue shorts the Brazil shirt has for so many tournaments been synonymous with the magic of the World Cup.
Brazil won four of their five World titles in Umbro but their attire of ’94 was by far the most fetching. It’s dark green collar and trim mingled seamless with that famous yellow, which was supplemented by the Brazilian football logo in faded gold just below the chest area of the shirt.
The strip is best-remembered for being worn by Romario at his devastating best, as well as for being the winning jersey in the first ever World cup decided on penalties.
The alternative blue strip was not without its charm either and is a fabric forever etched into the tapestry of the World Cup, thanks to Bebeto’s famous baby-rocking goal celebration after scoring against the Netherlands in the quarter finals, days after his wife had given birth to their third child.
