The West Germany 1990 Away Retro Football Shirt represents one of the most celebrated generations in German football history. Franz Beckenbauer’s side were crowned world champions at Italia ’90, progressing through the tournament unbeaten before defeating Argentina 1–0 in the final in Rome. Captain Lothar Matthäus was one of the outstanding figures of the campaign, scoring four goals as West Germany claimed their third World Cup title.
The championship squad featured a remarkable generation including Jürgen Klinsmann, Rudi Völler, Pierre Littbarski, Andreas Brehme, Jürgen Kohler and Guido Buchwald. Brehme produced some of the tournament’s most decisive moments, scoring against the Netherlands and England before converting the late penalty against Argentina that secured the World Cup. The triumph carried additional historical significance as it proved to be West Germany’s final World Cup before German reunification later in 1990.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its deep green base and distinctive tonal geometric pattern running across the body, creating the bold graphic appearance associated with late-1980s and early-1990s football design. A contrasting white V-neck and white shoulder detailing stand sharply against the darker green body, giving the away shirt a completely different identity from West Germany’s famous white home design. Understated from a distance but highly detailed up close, the green colourway remains one of the most distinctive alternative designs associated with the 1990 world champions.

Rec. Player Printing Options
Printing Position Recommendation MATTHÄUS 10 Midfielder Best Printing Choice. West Germany captain, four-goal World Cup star and the defining individual figure of the 1990 championship side. KLINSMANN 18 Forward Scored three times at Italia ’90, including the opening goal against the Netherlands, with outstanding long-term international recognition. BREHME 3 Left-Back / Midfielder One of the strongest historical choices, scoring three World Cup goals including the winning penalty in the final against Argentina. VÖLLER 9 Striker A classic West Germany forward who scored three times during the tournament and played a major role in the championship campaign. LITTBARSKI 7 Midfielder / Winger A highly authentic choice for collectors, finally becoming a world champion after appearing in three consecutive World Cup finals. HÄSSLER 8 Midfielder A distinctive alternative representing one of the technically gifted midfielders of West Germany’s championship squad. Best Printing Choice: MATTHÄUS 10
Second Choice: KLINSMANN 18
Third Choice: BREHME 3
We recommend MATTHÄUS 10 as the standout printing choice for the West Germany 1990 Away Retro Football Shirt. Captain Lothar Matthäus was the defining figure of West Germany’s victorious Italia ’90 campaign, starting all seven matches and scoring four goals as Franz Beckenbauer’s side lifted the World Cup. His leadership, performances and iconic No.10 make MATTHÄUS 10 the strongest combination of period authenticity, football history and long-term collector appeal.
Our second recommendation is KLINSMANN 18. Jürgen Klinsmann scored three goals during the tournament, including the opening goal in the memorable 2–1 victory over the Netherlands. For collectors looking for another internationally recognisable name from West Germany’s championship generation, KLINSMANN 18 is an outstanding alternative.
