Cameroon's from 1982 was also thrilling at the time but an all time favourite is Zaire's from 1974 replete with a picture of what I think was a leopard on the front. Also, any USSR kit with CCCP thereon is hard to beat.Lanterne Rougehttp://thetwounfortunates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702800010273076139.post-49477117871734447982012-08-13T20:24:22.161+01:002012-08-13T20:24:22.161+01:00The Cameroon home shirt from World Cup 90 is a fav...The Cameroon home shirt from World Cup 90 is a favourite of mine, though that is probably just due to the Roger Milla memories!WaywardEfforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976402874138957502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702800010273076139.post-39394353120314695102012-08-13T19:12:51.447+01:002012-08-13T19:12:51.447+01:00Funny you mention Peru 78, Rich.

If I'd done a top 10, Peru 78 would have been in it.<br /><br />I'd have to say the criteria for my Favourite 5 was originality more than anything else. Some kits, like the Peru one, look great but perhaps don't break many moulds in their distinctiveness. Thanks for your thoughts, though!Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702800010273076139.post-78486819956490282842012-08-13T19:10:11.277+01:002012-08-13T19:10:11.277+01:00No need to be afraid of hostility, Lanterne Rouge ...No need to be afraid of hostility, Lanterne Rouge - I've had a lifetime of people not understand my taste in all things!<br /><br />Thought m'colleague would have been 100% behind me, though... :)Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702800010273076139.post-76157330972252924632012-08-13T17:58:01.939+01:002012-08-13T17:58:01.939+01:00Always going to be controversial!
