Brazil Voted Best Ever Footie Kit By UK Fans

Brazil's famous yellow shirt has been voted the most recognisable football kit by British fans.

Ahead of this summer's FIFA World Cup, nearly half of those polled voted the yellow shirt of Brazil as the most iconic kit in football, ahead of England and Holland.

A total of 46 per cent of those questioned in the survey voted for five times World Cup winners Brazil's yellow shirt, with England and Holland - who always wear orange - being beaten into second and third places respectively.

Brazil, who are favourites to win a record sixth World Cup in Germany this summer, dominated the UK-wide poll conducted by Nike.

And when asked which country played the most beautiful football - or "Joga Bonito" as the Brazilians like to say - almost 60 per cent voted in favour of the country that boasts the skills of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Adriano.

The words "Skill" and "Joy" came out on top when those polled were asked which most resonated with the Brazilian way of playing football.

And more than three-quarters (77 per cent) of the voters decided that the World Cup would not be the same if Brazil didn’t qualify.

A Nike spokesperson said: "Brazil’s is a shirt every football fan knows and it reminds them of the joy, soul and skill that the Brazilians have been showcasing to football fans for the last 50 years."
