Some say you play only as well as you look, with the guernsey in footy serving as a pillar of the game's heritage and tradition. That's not to say some have definitely gone through some modern re-designs and changes to get where we are now.

Though some clubs have upheld tradition by keeping theirs mostly the same throughout the decades, this is respectable, but it still won't earn them any fashion points in climbing up the list.

Here I'm looking for what stands out in creativity, how the colours mix and just personally how I view them.

I wouldn't have become a North fan without the stunning blue and white stripes catching my eye as a kid. The silver Mazda logo has become a staple by now and isn't just slapped on it, but curves the strip around to seep into the white.
