There are plenty of options out there, but I have compiled things i think are 10 of the best retro track tops available right now.

In fact, 10 is really just scratching the surface. I possibly could have picked out a selection comprised of mainly Adidas designs. But when that's what you want, have a look at the business's website.

Instead, I have attempted to mix some of the more obvious with some lesser-known and definitely lesser-seen designs if you wish to stay ahead of everyone else. If you would like team-specific options, scroll down to the foot of the article for some links to people.

But for now, in no particular order, check out my top 10 picks.

1. Adidas Firebird track top

An obvious starting point is by using the Adidas Firebird track top.

Dating back to the 1970s, this is pretty much an ideal representation of a classic Adidas. Yes, you can get variations on the theme (and I will feature another later) however this is the vintage look with a minimum of detail.

Plenty of colors to select from, but note that these never come cheap. Count on paying just below lb60 for one of these.

2. Puma T7 track top

If the Firebird sums up Adidas, then the T7 covers Puma.

This is pretty much the staple of the retro Puma range. Actually, not so retro. Numerous sports clubs still use the T7 as the grounds for its club jacket, which shows how timeless this is.

The T7 is really a range that also includes similar t-shirts and shorts, in addition to some rather nice rain jackets. But if you simply want the classic T7 track top, you are considering around lb62 full price, but as I write, there are plenty within the sale for lb42.

3. Fila Settanta track top

I once did a feature just on this jacket, which shows how highly I rate the Fila Settanta.

It's an icon and it achieved that status when you are the match jacket for tennis legend Bjorn Borg. He signed an offer with Fila over 4 decades ago and a sportswear monster was created. The jacket was key to his signature take a look at his height.

The tennis track top is not a relic from the 1970s. On the other hand, this really is available in a wide range of colours and finishes if you don't desire a Borg copy. An excellent casual item (actually it was a terrace favourite too) and available for lb65 in all sizes.

4. Tacchini Ghibli track top

If we will talk about Bjorn Borg's signature look, we must mention John McEnroe too, famous for donning the Tacchini Ghibli track top.

Yes, not long after the Borg deal was signed, Tacchini moved in on his rival John McEnroe, producing a range of clothing just as distinctive and memorable as the Fila range.

Like Fila, Tacchini continues to be producing it and part of the range is that this Ghibli track top. Again, various colours, but the red and navy is the one you associate with McEnroe and that is readily available for lb65.

5. Ellesse Rimini track top

Ellesse does lots of retro and vintage designs however the Ellesse Rimini is the surface of the pile.

A 1980s design, this is another timeless one, by having an instantly-recognisable look, in the branding and the stripes. Very little else to state really. If you want to go down a 1980s route, that one is available for approximately lb60, even though some colours happen to be discounted to a smaller amount in the sale.

6. 1970s Admiral track top

This one returned just last year I think, thanks to the retailer 3Retro.

3Retro has got the rights to reproduce Admiral designs from the label's heyday of there 1970s into the 1980s. If you would like an England jacket or a club jacket of that era, have a look there.

Also, have a look if you would like one of these simple more generic Admiral track tops too. This is actually the base design for various club tops of the day and in various colours, but without the obvious club affiliation. Greatly of its era.

If you fancy one, there is a large and varied range, using the one here (a 1976 design) retailing for lb50.

7. Slazenger Park Life track top

Now this one is a little harder to find as the Slazenger Park Life track top gets sporadic reissues.

The jacket itself could happen to be lost to history however for two things. Firstly, Damon Albarn wore this track top in Blur's Park Life video in the mid-1990s, pushing the jacket to the peak of a few 'wants' lists. Secondly, some time back Slazenger launched a heritage range, including this jacket.

The heritage selection is still available, however this jacket isn't. However, this old-fashioned tennis jacket has been reissued fairly recently, so stock can be obtained if you hunt around or if you keep close track of eBay.

8. Adidas Beckenbauer track top

Another timeless design from Adidas and one that's not as easy to locate at the moment when compared to Firebird.

The Adidas Beckenbauer track top is inspired through the 1973 tracksuit jacket worn and endorsed by legendary footballer Franz Beckenbauer.

The stripes, the funnel collar and also the logo, which is very similar to the original era. Love the contrasting zip too. As mentioned, less common as it had been. In fact, Adidas doesn't have stock from it at this time in the original form.

The best spot to look is 80s Casual Classics, which will it for around lb60.

9. Le Coq Sportif ASSE track top

I was saving the club stuff 'till the end, however this Le Coq Sportif ASSE track top really doesn't have a club badge around the front. However it does have a golf club badge on the rear.

This was an archive reissue in 2022 and was deserved like a full zip sweatshirt due to its thicker construction. I' featuring it since there aren't any other types of vintage Le Coq Sportif available at this time which the first is still available – and discounted.

If you want the color green and the 1970s (that is where that one came from), you can makeover for a discounted lb60 right now.

10. Bukta vintage track top

Bukta was big news during the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, it had been still producing high-profile sportswear into the 1980s. Less these days, which is why its designs have such retro appeal.

The brand is still producing sportswear according to those original styles and you may get track tops in a seemingly endless selection of shades. The style is straightforward and never millions of miles in the T7 I mentioned earlier. So a funnel neck, contrasting waist, cuffs and collar and the Bukta branding.

One of the less expensive options too at lb40.

If you want something team-specific instead, there are many choices on that front.

I mentioned 3Retro earlier, that is a good way to look for authentic vintage track tops from the 1970s and 1980s. The main one pictured above is a Manchester City 1972 track jacket, one of a very wide selection.

Elsewhere, check out COPA, that has football jackets that lean more towards European teams and often, less obvious clubs. Expensive, but lovely quality.

Also, have a look at TOFFS, with a mix of generic vintage designs and club tops. Quite a good range, particularly if you want something with a 1970s look.
