Stunning kits that also heralded the beginning of the Mark Hughes era.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wales Home 2002-2004<\/strong><br \/>\nEarlier I mentioned the significance of specific games to the memory of a football kit. 2002, Wales 2-1 Italy. Stunning result that lives long in the memory of those who witnessed it. The kit in question was a rather mundane effort from Kappa and likely wouldn\u2019t have made this list had it not been for the nostalgia of Craig Bellamy skipping past Gigi Buffon to slot home the winner in front of a packed Millenium Stadium.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Wales\u00a0<\/strong><b>Home 2012-2013<\/b><br \/>\n2012\u2019s home kit was an impressive design coupled with a personal nostalgia trip. A real \u2018I was there\u2019 moment as Gareth Bale smashed home a late winner against Scotland, sporting a red strip featuring an homage to the 1970s tramline. Perfect.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wales Home and Away 2016-2017<\/strong><br \/>\nFinally, we come on to the shirt pairing used at Euro 2016. Whatever this kit looked like, it was always going to become an instant favourite for what was achieved wearing it. Who can forget THAT goal against Belgium.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20994\" style=\"width: 3000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20994\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/11\/Gareth_Bale_playing_for_Wales_vs_Austria_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20994\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/11\/Gareth_Bale_playing_for_Wales_vs_Austria_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"4500\" \/><\/noscript> Gareth Bale wearing the away kit from the Euro 2016 campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So where does that leave us with the new away kit?
