Appendix: National Sides.

Another in the series of popular appendices, this one will help visitors to find their national sides. Well, it will if you know what your country is called in English. The choice of national sides seems to depend partly on World Cup qualification (see appendix 4), but also on Subbuteo's export markets. Hence all the changes for Singapore in the 1980s, although they never get a number to themselves. I guess fixtures against England could also have had a bearing on which international teams were covered.
All the German teams are listed under West Germany, but I've added the 1990s ones under Germany as well. For Russian kits, you have a choice of Russia, CIS, and USSR, depending on the era.
Interesting fact about Belgium(!): Their home kits seem to become their away kit the following year on three occasions.
Congratulations are due to Denmark for having so many different kits produced in the 1980s and '90s. Only the four home nations (and Eire) get this kind of treatment normally.
