Agreed!

I think it's great, and I hope you do too. My thanks goes to Lucas Silveira Santos for sending me the picture. 👍

It was worn in 1994 by Chilean club Union Espanola, and was also made by Adidas, but this one features lots of four-pointed stars instead of triangles. Though not exactly the same, it still very much captures the spirit of the Adidas Marseille template...

Having recently posted an article about the Adidas Marseille template (the one with lots of triangles), I had to tell you about another shirt design that's in many ways related...

The Kitbliss Greatest Templates #31 the Adidas Marseille. USSR's kit at Italia 90, but how about if it was #NornIron facing Argentina, Stevie McBride would've given them a quare chasing! The #GAWA in era appropriate colours.

UPDATE! Jesper Krogshede Sørensen has come up with another new kit based on a previously featured template. This time it's Adidas Valencia (featured at 48 in our countdown), and was worn by Hungary away to Norway in 1996. Thanks for the information, Jesper!

Oh, and also Ulsan Hyundai in Japan.

Well apparently there was a blue third shirt made for Racing Club Argentina, but it's unlikely to have been worn. I certainly couldn't find proof.

UPDATE! We now have a 12th kit based on the Adidas Marseille template, thanks to Jesper Krogshede Sørensen. It's a kit Bulgaria wore for one match only against Romania in 1991.

Unlike Romania and Argentina, Germany didn't wear the Adidas Prestige template during the 1998 World Cup.

If they had, it might have looked like this...

#32 in the @kitbliss.co.nz Greatest Templates, the Adidas Prestige. Perhaps most famous as Argentina's WC98 away jersey, here we can see how Phil Mulryne would've looked captaining #NornIron's U21s to to the 2000 Euros with alternatives in era-appropriate colours. #GAWA
