Decided to post my favourite 20 shirts from my collection. Went for my top designs rather than ones I like for sentimental reasons. No particular order! First up, this absolute beauty. DR CONGO (Home 2011/12) – ERREA #top20shirts http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2011/05/democratic-republic-of-congo.html
#top20shirts no. 2: UGANDA (Home 2000/01) - HUMMEL. The famous '3 Cranes' shirt. When Hummel make the effort they may be the best. Incorporates flag colours & national symbol. Has become very sought after by national team collectors in the last few years. http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2013/02/uganda.html
#top20shirts no. 3: JAMAICA (Away 1998/99) - KAPPA. 90s Kappa is brilliant. The yellow home version of this is iconic, but they didn't use the green away version at the World Cup so it's somewhat underappreciated. Great colours, shiny and fucking massive. http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2011/01/jamaica.html
#top20shirts no. 4: MALI (Home 2019/20) - AIRNESS. Airness have done a few decent Mali shirts over the years. You've got to love a massive multi-coloured cartoon eagle on top of a subtle 1980s crazy sofa pattern. Or is there something wrong with you? http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2019/07/mali.html
#top20shirts no. 5: TIBET (Home 2013/14) - COPA. There are some wicked non-FIFA national shirts. This is the best one. An awesome sun design running from the shirt into the badge. Jako shamelessly ripped off this design for their 2016 FYR Macedonia shirt. http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2014/11/tibet-non-fifa.html
#top20shirts no. 6: RUSSIA (Home 2010/11) - ADIDAS. I remember admiring this one shortly before I began collecting. Brilliant heat pressed pattern on the panels. Imperial ornate lines. Brilliant crest. Ostentatious gold trim. Definite winner in my book. http://www.theglobalobsession.com/2015/12/russia.html
