Egypt kits World Cup 1990

Second World Cup for the Egyptians, they did not have a kit with light colors instead a green away kit color was selected. Adidas presented the same design for African countries, I would like to talk to someone from adidas to explain me how the process of selection or assignment of designs for national teams occurs.

Netherlands kits World Cup 1990

The Dutch team introduced the simplest kit on tournament, without pattern on the fabric, bicolor and even simple numbers, breaking with the trending of those years. Two years before in Euro 88 adidas go to the extreme designing the probably most horrible pattern in history, maybe that's why Netherlands change to lotto in 1992.

Ireland kits World Cup 1990

The first final stage in the World Cup for this team, and a very good tournament they did reaching quarter-finals barely lost 0-1 with Italy, i love their simple and distinctive federation logo.

England kits World Cup 1990

Always one of my favorites is the England kit, there is always something of royalty about his kits. England plays all his matches with the white kit, but we know that there were two other kits prepared, the red one and the blue one. For me in this 1990 WC umbro has the edge about kits at the time.

South Korea kits World Cup 1990

Difficult was to research this kit, so little good photos are of this Rapido korean kit, You Tube was helpful for the away kit, and the fabric pattern corresponds for the qualifications stages, but is my guess that repeat in the World Cup.

Uruguay kits World Cup 1990

The charruas again with his traditional colors that looks so good on the field, puma a brand that support Uruguay in many years are not complicated with the design. just keep it simple.

Belgium kits World Cup 1990

Basic adidas kit for Belgium team in 1990, a simple stripe pattern in the fabric, in my opinion the pattern for 1986 World Cup looks better, but besides this the red color looks great in the field.

Spain kits World Cup 1990

Spain played with her red shirt entire tournament, just change to white shorts and socks on one occasion vs Uruguay. Thanks to Lucas we know the white and blue kits used in qualification round.

Sweden kits World Cup 1990

the Swedish team with his traditional uniform, fairly basic model with a basic pattern adidas also, simple kit for a emerging team.

Scotland kits World Cup 1990

the always elegant Scottish presented for this tournament his classic blue and white home kit with a nice scottish pattern in the neck. For the away kit a nice horizontal striped shirt.

Costa Rica kits World Cup 1990

Costa Rica played with three different kits, two games with striped kit, and one game with the reds. Something that intrigues me are the socks, why has only a couple of socks with lotto logo? and why the lotto logo is not the same on all shirts?. Lotto for me in these years did not have a strong branding yet.

Brazil kits World Cup 1990

Brazil played all his matches with the yellow shirt, socks were the only ones in change, was the last time in a World Cup that the Brazilians showed his badge with the Jules Rimet cup.

Soviet Union kits World Cup 1990

Last time we saw the Soviet team in a World Cup, sponsored by adidas them chose the constructivist shirt design for the socialist block, with the classical adidas shorts. I have to say the i miss the large CCCP letters in the chest.

Argentina kits World Cup 1990

One must recognize that Argentina has one of the most beautiful combinations for kits of the entire planet, also does not resemble any other country. For the World Cup 1990 adidas design a unique V neck for Argentina and a black short with no adidas stripes. A curious fact that I would like to know, is why Argentina played with a black short with adidas stripes in the first game vs Cameroon, and the rest of the competition used black short witout adidas stripes (Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Italy).

Romania kits World Cup 1990

Since WC 70 Romania was not presented in a final stage, and it would seem that not even had a uniform prepared, a shirt without federation or contry logo and socks that look like they are from another team was the highlights of this kit. still the yellow color is faded. Too bad adidas!.
A comment by Lucas explain that federation logo was associated with the regime of dictator Ceaucescu overthrown by 1989 revolution and for this Romanian Football federation choose not to put badge in his kit. We can see the controversial logo in the info bar.

Cameroon kits World Cup 1990

This kit is well remembered, wore it by a team that surprised and liked people. From a design perspective, we see the antiquated pattern shiny fabric from the 80's, but very African, with that huge lion like badge.

United States kits World Cup 1990

Another alternative design presented adidas for U.S. team. As we see since WC90 adidas already had many design variations, this did not happen in previous World Cups. Also was the last time of this federation logo in a World Cup. As interesting detail, adidas design unique numbers for USA, for the rest of the teams assign generic 1990 design.

Austria kits World Cup 1990

Austria kits with showy design, those large stripes liked a lot of people, for many the nicest of WC90 for me.

Czechoslovakia kits World Cup 1990

Interesting design that resembles Russian Constructivism, maybe that's why we see this adidas design in some of the socialist nations bloc teams at the time. A mistake in my opinion is the manufacturer's logo on black above design pattern, it completely loses visibility.

Italy kits World Cup 1990

I will always remember this kit because at a time when the merchandising was already born and was strengthening, we see as the Italian team maintained the clean design of his kit, even the logo of the manufacturer does not appear.
