        HAVE YOUR SAY...     What is your favourite kit of all time? Somestrips become cult classics while others leave the most dedicated fanwondering whether they can justify splashing their cash on clothingeven David Beckham wouldn't entertain. This is Sportsmail's latest listand 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 50-41Read Nos 40-31  Read Nos 30-21 No 20 Forest home 1978Enlarge No 19 Celtic home 1967 [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]A world class kit for a world class team. Brian Clough insisted his teams played football with style, was he in charge of the dress code too? That green jumper he sported for 15 years would suggest otherwise. [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Hoops are a popular kit choice but Celtic got there first, just like they did the European Cup, before United or Liverpool even saw the cup. Why don't you ask one of their fans, they'll tell you all about it - at great length.[LNB] hhhhhh  No 18 Juventus home 1987Enlarge No 17 Scotland away 1992 [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]We're not sure what's more impressive here - Rushie's muzzie or the shirt. Yes Notts County did it first but mama mia, the Italians do it better. And I have to mention the hair ... great isn't it?[LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]This top was a bobby dazzler.  It was the early 90s and the Tartan Army could wear this to the game and not need a change of clothes for the Primal Scream gig on the way home.  [LNB] No 16 France home 1984Enlarge No 15 Sheff Weds home 1991Enlarge  [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]The French know how to rub it in our noses, don't they. This magnificent strip was worn by Michel Platini, while our very own Terry Fenwick was sporting those skimpy shorts.  I hate the 80s. [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]They may be sponsored by ASDA but there's nothing 'George' about this number. That owl on the badge scares me, though. Look at it, is it staring at you too? [LNB] hhhhhh  No 14Holland home 1974Enlarge No 13 West Ham home 1985Enlarge  [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Shimple, yesh, but there is shomething shexy about it and the future certainly looked bright for the Dutch when their football started to match their dazzling attire. So cool, even the Tango man copied this to sell his fizzy juice and start a playground slapping craze. [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Now this is what we like - the combination of claret and blue that the Hammers wore in the mid 80s and England wore when they won the World Cup in 1966. OK, the Three Lions wore red that day but they may as well have worn this. A timeless classic. [LNB] hhhhhh  No 12 Newcastle home 1982Enlarge No 11 Soviet Union 1980sEnlarge  [LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]Is that Ian Rush again? Sorry, this ones got a perm/mullet barnet going on. Shocker. Also, there's branding all over this shirt, that's sacrilege - the Geordies will never stand for it ... oh, hang on.[LNB]Sportsmail's fashion victim says:[LNB]The Cold War was just a facade, don't you know? Yep, all those grey, industrial images they let us see were a cover for the fun they were having behind the iron curtain. This number is the proof.[LNB] hhhhhh  BEST OF THE REST OF THE LIST ...Sportsmail's top 50 sporting feuds of all timeSportsmail's 50 great sports photographsSportsmail's worst 50 strikers in the Premier LeagueSportsmail's top 50 stars who failed to play fairSportsmail's top 50 midfield maestrosSportsmail's top 50 commentators of all timeSportsmail's top 50 sporting venuesSportsmail's top 50 free-kick kingsSportsmail's top 50 England heroesSportsmail's top 50 performers of the season so farSportsmail's top 50 all-time managers in BritainSportsmail's top 50 goal poachersSportsmail's top 50 footballing traitorsSportsmail's top 50 FA Cup heroesSportsmail's top 50 signings of the season Sportsmail's greatest Wembley finals in historySportsmail's top 50 biggest hitters in cricketSportsmail's top 50 British & Irish LionsSportsmail's top 50 Ashes heroesSportsmail's top 50 partnershipshhhhhh  Explore more:People:David Beckham, IAN RUSH, Brian CloughPlaces:Newcastle, Liverpool, Scotland, The Netherlands, France, United Kingdom
