When a vintage Scottish tartan became a football kit
The roots of argyle trace back to the Scottish Highlands. It did not begin as a decorative flourish, but as a rigid clan symbol, specifically worn as part of the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll in western Scotland.
The diamond pattern became a signature look for tennis player Ivan Lendl, thanks to his historic collaboration with Adidas, before making its way into football with Belgium.
The distinct design of the Belgium 1984 kit remains one of the most recognized shirts in the sport.
