UPDATE 8 APRIL 2020:

Dear #Retrofootballers!

Our tournament on Instagram to choose the best football shirt in the history of Europe has already ended. It was a great tournament with a large participation of our followers on Instagram.

The winning historical jersey was the 1990 Yugoslavia vintage shirt. A mythical jersey for various reasons. First of all for its innovative aspect, with a design that had not been seen in over 110 years of football history; including that vertical white stripe reminiscent of lightning. Well, a year later, the former Yugoslavia began to fall apart, leading to a fratricidal war between the compatriots of the former country. Our best jersey tournament in the history of Europe had a worthy winner.

The final round of the tournament was completed with the following models:

• Italy 1982 shirt: the blue team of Scirea, Rossi, and Tardelli, coached by the great Enzo Bearzot, arrived in the final, winning all the matches with ease. In a thrilling final decided in the final minutes of extra time, they lost a couple of percentage points (51% for Yugoslavia against 49% for Italy). What an ending! And what shirts! The Italian model has undergone a significant change in the design of the shirts by introducing an elegant polo collar, with the colors of the tricolor, as well as on the sleeves. The Italy 1982 shirt was a worthy finalist in our championship.

• Holland1974 shirt: Joahn Cruyff's mechanical orange made it to the semi-finals, winning all his games with ease. However, in a rather close semifinal, they ended up giving in to the blue team: 53% to 47%. An excellent combination that does justice to two exceptional shirts from our collection.

• CCCP 1982 shirt: in a duel of countries of the former communist bloc, the USSR shirt at the 1982 World Cup faced the 1990 Yugoslavia shirt. A highly contested game that the Yugoslavs won 58% to 42 %. During the tournament, many expected the USSR shirt in the final.

Thank you so much for participating and making that first Coronavirus confinement weekend a little more fun!
