        HAVE YOUR SAY...     What is your favourite kit of all time? Some strips become cult classics while others leave the most dedicated fan wondering whether they can justify splashing their cash on clothing even David Beckham wouldn't entertain. This is Sportsmail's latest list and as always we want to know what you think. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK In football there's a blurred line between a fashion disaster and akit fit for a king. And this week's List brings you the best, worst andsimply awful strips the sport has ever seen.[LNB]Our fashion'experts' have assessed each entry for style, fit and colour. And, ofcourse, being football fans first and fashionistas a very distantsecond, we've afforded extra credit for novelty value.[LNB]Remember,one person's abomination is the next man's glorious explosion ofcolour. Love or loathe these shirts, we promise you that they willnever go out of fashion.[LNB]  Read Nos 50-41 No 40 Birmingham home 1972No 39 Man United third 1995 Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Birmingham really were City slickers in this cool number. The simple design was known as the 'penguin' strip and it is often p-p-p-p-picked up by retro fans.[LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says: [LNB]United lost four out of the four-and-a-half games they played in this - ditching it at half-time when 3-0 down at Southampton.  Enough said.[LNB]    No 38 Cameroon home 1990No 37 York City home 1974 Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Green kits are a rare breed and always stand out. Cameroon wore this as they lit up Italia 90 and Roger Milla carried it off more than most with his little dance. [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Not everybody realised the white on this top was a Y (for York City) so the Minstermen were way ahead of their time. Slick and significant.  [LNB] No 36 Borussia Dortmund home 97No 35 Scotland home 1978 Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Dortmund are fans of glow-in-the-dark tops but they can turn the stomach after a big night on the booze. They wore this to lift the 1997 European Cup and any mess that night was forgiven. [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Brilliant. The big collar combined with the Graeme Souness tea strainer and hair is crying out for porno backing music. The Scots were supposed to win the World Cup in Argentina in this.   [LNB] No 34 QPR home No 33 Germany home 1990 Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]If it isn't broken, don't fix it. QPR never stray far from the classic hoop design and today's top is almost identical to the one modelled above by colourful character and QPR legend Stan Bowles.[LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Efficient. Organised. Predictable. That's the Germans. So imagine everyone's surprise when they donned this snazzy number. Another Adidas winner as the Germans lifted the 1990 World Cup.   [LNB] No 32 Carlisle away 1993 No 31 Denmark home 1986 Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Carlisle tried to liven things up with this wardrobe malfunction but it would have looked more at home 100 miles down the road in Blackpool. Hard not to think of a stick of rock when looking at this.[LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Remember the make? Hummel, once upon a time, was cooler than cool. Unlike Denmark. But there was something great about the Danes when they wore this belter of a strip.
