BBC

The best crew of all time and the best equipment of all time? Brazil 1970 are on prime of the world – once more

“Let’s do a World Cup of kits – that will not be too controversial, no one will take it too significantly and it will be enjoyable.” Or so we thought.

Brazil 1970 has overwhelmed West Germany 1990 within the ultimate of the BBC’s World Cup of kits – however that does not inform the entire story.

BBC Sport customers and social media followers chosen their favourites – of their 1000’s – in 5 totally different rounds and joined in a full of life debate on our live World Cup page.

Our semi-finalists West Germany and shock outfit Colombia (away) truly met within the 1990 World Cup group levels (within the right kits)

Presumably the most important shock was England’s pink 1966 away equipment crashing out to Brazil within the semi-finals after brushing apart Netherlands 1978, Paraguay 2002 and Italy 1990 alongside the best way.

You would possibly marvel why England needed to begin by dealing with such an iconic jersey as that of the Dutch – nicely blame former England internationals Danny Mills and Stephen Warnock, who did the first-round draw…

Watch: World Cup of kits first-round draw

A panel of BBC Sport journalists chosen (we can’t say agreed upon, extra on that once we come to the following equipment photograph beneath) what they believed have been one of the best 32 jerseys at any World Cup – however just one could possibly be chosen from every nation – with the draw unseeded.

Notable first-round casualties included the Dutch 1978 prime, the USA’s ‘full of life’ 1994 away shirt, Peru’s iconic 1978 jersey, Northern Eire 1986 and Scotland 1978 – who misplaced to shock semi-finalists, Colombia 1990 away.

Wales 1958 and the Republic of Eire 1990 went out within the final 16, together with the fancied Croatia 1998. Denmark’s 1986 magnificence was an unpopular quarter-final casualty and by that stage most individuals anticipated England to win – however you had different concepts.

Brazil beat England of their semi-final, with West Germany knocking out Colombia within the different.

There have been loads of disputes on social media – and there have been some within the BBC workplace too. One dwell textual content commentator wished the Cameroon 2002 sleeveless model, which he owns, to make the ultimate 32

Here is a number of what you needed to say on social media…

Sadly for Nick, the Soviet Union have been ‘out of there’ after being knocked out by Argentina 1986 within the first spherical

One other one to chunk the mud early – USA 1994 away fell to the Republic of Eire’s 1990 residence equipment within the first spherical

Denmark 1986 had a variety of love from BBC Sport customers however not sufficient to get previous Colombia 1990 away within the quarter-finals – in line with one fan who texted in “Denmark and Southampton have been one and the identical equipment. Southampton inherited it and rebadged it to save cash”

Nick Bruzon: Solely two man-made objects are seen from Outer House. The Nice Wall of China and the lion’s head on Cameroon’s Italia ’90 shirt. It is an absolute factor of magnificence, too. A modern-day seventh marvel of the world. There will be no justice if this does not win.

Cameroon – and their huge lion’s head – did not make it previous the primary spherical, the place they confronted eventual finalists West Germany

Davey R: Been in assembly all afternoon – checked in to see who Peru had received within the ultimate of #worldcupofkits – what?!?! The place?! Insanity. I demand a recount.

Our Colombia image was of the famously wild-haired Carlos Valderrama – which influenced some folks…

David Melton: Okay I admit it I am voting England as a result of it is England, and I voted Colombia due to Carlos’ hair

Kieran, Glasgow: Individuals clearly not realising that Valderrama’s hair is not a part of the equipment

We beloved the randomness of how Greg acquired this Italy 1990 shirt

Scotland’s 1986 equipment is undoubtedly a magnificence – however did not make the ultimate 32 as our panel picked the 1978 strip as an alternative. Sadly it went out within the first spherical – the primary sufferer of Colombia 1990 away

One other Scotland equipment from a World Cup previous – 1990 this time

Alex S: By no means seen this France 1982 equipment earlier than however wow that is immediately one of the best trying footie prime I’ve seen – would gladly put on it to my very own marriage ceremony! Who voted in opposition to it?!

France 1982 is great nevertheless it fell to the would possibly of West Germany 1990

A West Germany 1990-Argentina 1986 last-16 tie proved a alternative some folks would relatively not make

Matthew Vernon: Germany ’90 v Argentina ’86 robust for England followers! 😆 However I am not voting for that cheat, stunning shirt or not.

England did not put on their pink away equipment within the match nevertheless it’s nonetheless takes us again to Italia ’90

However some folks have been happier to see England lose…

Phil Andrews: I could also be berated for this, however the 1966 England away equipment seems like a £Three t-shirt onto which my Nan sewed an England badge. Enduring picture? Definitely. Finest shirt? Sorry…

James Drewe-Smith: Lastly the England shirt is out, been residing on previous glories for 50-odd years. Not even one of the best England shirt

And a few folks weren’t pleased with the eventual winner…

Matt Birch: As a very unbiased German who owns a 1990 equipment someplace, this can be a shambolic choice. It is the identical color Brazil have had for each World Cup… EVER!
