Some special jerseys are always impressive and unforgettable, both because of its design and the memories created by the people who wear it. Now, let's take a look back at the most designed and iconic jersey suits in La Liga history
Barcelona, 2015/16 season
Since its founding in 1899, Barcelona have been wearing red and blue vertical striped jerseys. But that tradition was broken in 2015, when the jersey sponsor unveiled an eye-catching horizontal striped jersey. The shirt bears witness to many highlights of the Barça dynasty, including la Liga and Copa del Rey doubles in Spain, as well as the European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
To this day, the shirt is still loved by fans and often appears in the stands of camp Nou. It is also a must-have collector's treasure for Barca's hardcore fans.
Athletic Bilbao, 2004/05 season
Athletic Bilbao is also a club that has a vertical striped shirt as its tradition, but they broke that tradition in 2004/05 and introduced an imaginative shirt. Designed by Bilbao-born artist Dario Urzay, the shirt celebrates the club's return to the European scene. Dario Urzai wanted to give the shirt more modernity, like the Guggenheim Museum, founded in his hometown in 1997.
This jersey is very eye-catching, and because of its unique "splash effect" is jokingly called "tomato sauce jersey". Athletic Bilbao rarely wears this shirt to play, but thousands of fans seem to have a soft spot for it. At the same time, the shirt undoubtedly impressed another Basque side, Alenas, who hired Dario Urzai a few years later to design their club's centennial shirt.
Atletico Madrid, 1995/96
The 1995/96 season was the most successful season in the history of Atletico Madrid, they won la Liga and copa del Rey for the first time, so the shirt of the season undoubtedly occupies a very important place in the hearts of the fans of the Legion of Sheets.
That season, Atletico wore the iconic red and white striped top and blue shorts with red trim. Atletico legends of the 90s, Diego Simeone and Milinko Pantic, often appear in many famous photographs wearing this shirt. The fans of the Legion of Sheets still wear this season's shirts, as no other shirt represents the club's illustrious history.
Real Madrid, 2001/02
Looking back at the history of Real Madrid, there is one picture that is deeply engraved in the minds of the fans of the White Army, that is, Zidane's flying fairy in the 2002 Champions League final. This goal is imprinted in the memory of every Madrider, so the Real Madrid shirt of that season has become one of the most classic shirts in La Liga.
In order to commemorate the centenary of the club's founding, Real Madrid chose to return to tradition that season and introduced an elegant all-white colored shirt. As the world gradually entered the Internet age, and the team did not receive any advertising sponsorship at that time, the official website of Real Madrid appeared in the advertising slot on the chest of the jersey of that year. At the same time, Real Madrid also had one of the greatest squads of all time that year, including Fernando Hierro, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Steven McManaman, Raul and Fernando Morientes, and of course Zizou.
Vallecano, every season
To be honest, Vallecano's jerseys are very classic every season and are iconic – a red ribbon on the chest loop. As one of the few teams in the world that has a tradition of red ribbon jerseys, Vallecano can attract attention wherever he goes, and other teams that are traditional are Argentina's River Plate and Peru's national team.
Interestingly, the ribbon first appeared on the club's shirt in 1949, 25 years after the Madrid club was founded, and has since become An iconic design for Rayo Vallecano and one of the most recognizable clubs in La Liga history. The design appears not only on the walls and gates of the Ballecas stadium, but also on the club's emblem and most of the away shirts.
