Even if change is inevitable when considering a soccer club’s seasonal kit, some of the old retro kits from years gone by have stood the test of time. Certain retro kits have proven to be so popular that they are a part of FIFA 22 despite not being used by clubs in real life. These retro kits can all be bought in Ultimate Team, but it is possible they will feature across all of FIFA’s best modes in future.
6 Liverpool ‘82
The Liverpool ‘82 Retro kit holds a special place in many Liverpool fans’ hearts since it was a year in which they won the League Title and dominated English football. In many ways, the club’s recent resurgence, which was brought about by real-life players that dominate on FUT such as Salah, Mane, and Firminho, is as close as they’ve come to recapturing this kind of form in the four decades since.
However, the kit is not just a source of nostalgia but is actually a nice kit in its own right. Donning the classic Red that the team is known for, the white vertical stripes add a good contrast to the kit’s primary color and better bring out the scarlet tones. Players can buy this on the Ultimate Team market for around 25,000 Coins.
5 Man City ‘69
The Man City ‘69 Retro kit isn’t just one of the most visually pleasing choices out of the Retro kit options, but also a source of great nostalgia for Man City fans. Being worn when they achieved their 1-0 victory to claim the FA Cup with one of the highest-rated forwards at the time, Man City fans can dominate their opponents wearing the colors of their historic team proudly.

Not using the usual colors of Man City, this kit has red and black tones running vertically up the shirt, achieving a great color contrast that gives it a recognizable, striking feel. It’s a little similar to the AC Milan shirt, but its simplicity makes it a much better option in the eyes of many.
4 Leeds ‘92
The Leeds ‘92 Retro kit is popular amongst Leeds fans for being the kit worn by their team when they won the First Division, the predecessor to the Premier League in English football. This is a title they have not won since, despite having lots of players with high potential in their squad.
With a predominantly-white color and some blue to break it up in the collar section, this kit is a very simple finish that could easily pass for a modern-day football kit. Leeds fans can use this kit on their Ultimate Team to dominate against opponents with nostalgia by their side.
3 PSG ‘89
While Paris Saint Germain is one of the most dominant teams available on FIFA 22 with one of the highest-rated goalkeepers, players shouldn’t think this is a new thing, with PSG being one of the strongest French teams for decades now and, at various points throughout the club’s history, one of the strongest teams in the whole of Europe.

PSG’s ‘89 retro kit is predominantly white, with the famous blue and red colors from the present-day PSG kits adding a break and giving the kit an edge. PSG has risen in popularity in recent years, so players should expect to face opponents using this kit a lot more often online.
2 Real Madrid ‘07
Real Madrid have had a tough couple years, but in the late 2000s and early 2010s, they dominated football. Not just Spanish football either, but also European football as well, with the team remaining a threat in the Champions League every year due to pro FIFA players such as Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Modric, just to name a few.
Their ‘07 retro kit has the famous Real Madrid white as its primary color, with a curved black horizontal streak leading from the collars to the shoulders and down the forearms of the players wearing it. A simply designed kit, it manages to be visually striking despite incorporating cold colors.
1 AC Milan ‘96
AC Milan has had mixed success in recent years, but they have a rich history with many footballing greats playing for them over the decades, including some of the highest-rated FIFA 22 players such as Ronaldinho.
The ‘96 AC Milan retro kit is one of the best-looking retro kits offered to players in FIFA 22, with a mixture of different blue tones and a red and black horizontal stripe running down the middle. This interesting kit may seem a little dated compared to the modern-day kits available, but players can enjoy these Milan colors while facing off against online opponents.
FIFA 22 is available on Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Xbox One Series S | X, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
