adidas are pillars of the football shirt world.
If you ask someone what the greatest shirt of all time is, they’ll most likely reply with one of two adidas shirts (I hope I don’t have to tell you which?). The 80s and 90s were flat out dominated by the three stripes, and even though Nike rose to prominence in the late 90s to challenge the crown, it’s been something of a closely-fought two horse race in the years since.
Whenever a club joins adidas (think Leeds or Celtic this year), fans typically rejoice. Other fans look on in jealously, even though many hardcore members of the kit community have questioned adidas over their overuse of templates and persistence on using plain backs in recent years (maybe that’s just me…).
Regardless, any conversation centred around adidas is bound to be an aesthetically pleasing one. In a similar vein to our question about Kappa, we sought to find the best adidas shirts of all time with the help of the all-knowing source of wisdom that is Twitter.
And having sold over 750 adidas shirts (full breakdown below) we're well placed to guide you on the best shirts.
The shirt, the player, the shiny shorts. This picture has everything.


Marseille and adidas clearly left a mark on people, and rightly so.
It's all about the pinstripes

No one has ever managed to execute the pinstripe look as well as adidas.
Sometimes a brand and team are meant to be together. Step forward adidas and France. Here's the 1992 offering but the 80s shirts are equally as smart.

A surging Scottish shout

Several people offered up kits from the Hibs x adidas days, and it was a welcome shout.

There’s a reason Arsenal have looked to some of their 90s classics since their adidas reunion

Let’s end this thing on a high.
