This is where the team colours first start to diversify into away kits, and international club sides. Between numbers 50 and 150 are groups of Dutch, Italian, Swiss, South African, Austrian, (West) German, and French sides. From this, you can see Subbuteo's main export markets of the 1970s.

    The h/w 072 was often painted in a very dark blue. However, it also seems to have been produced with black paint replacing the blue. Was this due to poor artificial lighting, or is there a more sensible theory??
