Best West Ham retro shirts 2022: The 4 best classic football shirts from the Hammers' history
1. West Ham United home shirt 1966
England may have won the World Cup in 1966 playing in red – but their goal-getting heroes and captain all wore claret and blue. This remake shirt from that year celebrates the Wembley marvels and the day that the Hammers stood on top of the world.
2. West Ham United 1986 home shirt
It's subtle and classy: the horizontal stripes of this Hammers kit have been re-played over the years but the original is a work of art.
3. West Ham United 1992 away shirt
The flash away shirt from the early 90s got a reinvention for West Ham's European jaunts – but this remake brings back all the nostalgia, complete with Dagenham Motors sponsor.
4. West Ham United 2000 home shirt
One of the greatest Prem sponsors and kits – and one of its greatest goals was scored in this shirt. A moment in time for Hammers.
