They say that fashions come and go and come back and the truth is that it is a world that is always on the move and where there are constant changes. The world of football could not be less and is that players tend to be regulars at the bizarre hairstyles, tattoos and dressed in the latest fashion. With the theme of t's the same whose evolution has been expanded and has adapted as the future course of the years since the already distant first World history, that of Uruguay 1930.

The fact that the first soccer jerseys in history were not the most comfortable for the practice of football. With thick shirts, buttoned to the neck, and made of a fabric that nothing was best suited for fitness, Players soul with a real leather ball and boots were left weighing considerably more than those we know today. Goalkeepers wore kneepads, one jacket and a sort of beret.

The style remained stable until the 60-70 when we begin to see the boom in fashion and trademarks. From the disputed world in that period, we begin to see some of the most beautiful retro shirts that are remembered. Por poner un ejemplo, those of Argentina, Holanda, Germany or Brazil itself.

Those of Spain (whose design have emulated for Russia 2018), Germany, EEUU, Brasil, Italia, Mexico, Colombia…the truth is that it would be difficult to choose one of the World Cup played on US soil. The one of 1998 France already venturing what would be the designs of the early twenty-first century.
