Nike football shirts

The early 2000s brought some of Nike’s most recognisable football shirts. The Total 90 template, introduced in 2004, was used for a large number of Nike teams and became particularly associated with the shirts of clubs and national teams such as Arsenal, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Brazil and the United States. The curved panels, piping, asymmetric details and circular number areas made the shirts easy to identify across the 2004-06 period. Nike’s club portfolio also included major teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona and Inter Milan, while Brazil, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy and other national teams became important parts of the brand’s football presence. Players connected with Nike over the years include Ronaldo Nazario, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Didier Drogba and, more recently, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Vinicius Junior.
