It was a case of back to the future when the Socceroos' World Cup jersey for Brazil was unveiled, with a retro look that that harks back to the 1974 Australian kit.
Current Socceroos Mark Bresciano, Michael Zullo and coach Ange Postecoglou were joined by Socceroos legends from each decade from the 1960s onwards, for the official launch in Sydney on Monday.
The jersey boasts a green collar, a reference to the iconic 1974 Socceroos kit.
Nike's design team crafted the Australian coat of arms on the chest of the jersey within a new shield that replicates the shape of the crest worn on the jerseys at the 1974 tournament.
Inside the back of the neck is a woven pennant tab featuring the Football Federation Australia logo surrounded by 1974 skipper Peter Wilson's famous quote: "We Socceroos can do the impossible".
The new shorts are a traditional green with venting to assist in cooling, and a cut specifically designed to aid movement and comfort.
The return of white home socks is also inspired by the 1974 kit, a change from the recent tradition of yellow socks.
