The best Puma shirts of all time
Founded in 1948, by German Rudolf Dassler, older brother of Adolf Dassler – he of Adidas fame – Puma has exploded from fairly modest roots into being one of the biggest names in football design in recent decades.
Starting out in football boots, Puma made the natural move into strips, with a stronghold in Germany and Austria, before making strides in English domestic football in the early nineties. The new millennium has seen the Puma reach extend far and wide, both as a domestic and international force, including Italian giants AC Milan, German behemoths Borussia Dortmund and popular Mexican side C.D. Guadalajara, to name a few, whilst on the international front they’ve got everyone from Austria to Uruguay, Iceland to Senegal, covered, literally. And who can forget the small matter of a £650 million kit deal with City Football, which runs until 2029.
So, with over seventy years, in the business, we asked Twitter followers for the best Puma shirts in their collection, and they (and Puma) didn’t disappoint.

Italy
There’s only one way to start – Puma’s Azzurri offerings get a universal thumbs up.
As far as I know the azzurro one has not been released yet. But it is on sale in Turkey, the official store of Puma. pic.twitter.com/5GI5bIM6kh
