The first kit was Eintracht Frankfurt.

Yes, MLB and no worse than some of the NASL jerseys. It was a dark time in history…

Wow. That has to be the gayest dance video ever, not that there’s anything wrong with that, well that dancing was wrong.

I’m 95% certain (and 98% this can’t be proven one way or another) that the first ‘kit’ is 1. FCK. Since it was on WDR I’m guessing it was filmed in Cologne, so that other FCK might not be a bad guess either.

Ah, idle speculation

The shirts, goodness me. I had always wondered how is it like to live in the 70s. Living in the era where my parents spent their schooldays.

‘The Bundesliga Offside blogger Jan was busy weaving the threads of fate to get his parents to date and multiply a bit quicker, fearing he could miss out on all the glory and excitement of German football in the 70s – as he eventually would, receiving mullets and moustaches as consolation.’
The 1974 I know…my parents were still teenagers themselves. They still didn’t know each other at that time. They once told me that when they were dating (this was in the 80s) and when were talking about their childhood, they realised that they actually both grew up in the same neighbourhood.

Ha. Must be Fate. And yeah, there is a reason why I am a child of the 90s. I was born in the late 80s. To be precise, the year when a certain Juergen Klinsmann’s goal against Bayern Munich be crowned the Goal of the Year – http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/classic-goals-jurgen-klinsmann-vs-bayern-munich-1987.html Heh.

Is it just me, or does the guy in the rainbow stripes with the long hair look like Fernando Torres.

And also? Bizarre.

That was quite literally the gayest thing I have ever seen. Holy shit. The sad thing is that while those fashions didn’t make it in the Bundesliga, they were prevalent in the 70’s in MLB here in the states.
