If you look back at football kit history in Spain, it’s very much different to what we’ve been more used over here. 60’s style kits were still in use at the turn of the 80’s, and even after that teams used kits for quite a lengthy period of time. It wasn’t until the 90’s when things changed, with teams regularly changing kits, and squad numbers were introduced – mad to think that prior to 1995 some teams were still wearing 2-11 that late (yes, 2 to 11, I still remember the incident with Deportivo’s keeper wearing sticky tape on his back at Aston Villa in a UEFA Cup tie!).

Now it’s as if every team in Spain has a new kit every season – Barça, Atlético and Real Madrid have had a new kit every year in the 2000’s – though Atlético did shun their 06/07 kit because it looked like something more suited to Feyenoord. They retained the 05/06 kit but wore the alternative strip when playing away from home.
