Wales kits Euro 1992 Qualifying

Great kit by umbro with his traditional elegant look and his geometrical patterns. After an absence of 16 years, Umbro returned as Wales' kit partner at a time when designs were becoming ever more outlandish, due largely to the growth in replica sales. Shirts were designed with an eye for how they would look worn with jeans on the High Street as much their appearance on the pitch.

Home kit kept the popular all-red look with some discrete trimmings in green and white. The shirt was manufactured with the same fabric also used for England's blue third strip of the period. The away kit was an adventurous business. Basically white, the shirt featured a complicated pattern in green and red over an abstract fabric. The shorts and stockings were identical in design to those of the home set, allowing elements to be mixed and matched if required.

During qualification stage Wales dressed this adidas exclusive design, the curious thing to note is the logo, they embroidery over the white stripes with no fill, looks terrible.

Green was restored to the home kit in the form of a host of trimmings, including Umbro logos combined into strips at the cuffs and thigh. An extravagant change kit was unveiled in August 1994. Based on a dark blue/green, the shirt was adorned with a swirling motif that owed more to abstract art than anything connected with Wales' football heritage. It was the fashion of the period to place crests on an additional shield and this was the case with the FAW badge.
