WWC 2019 - The Kit Fashionistas Thread

I like the fact that Sweden's one has what I think it's the silhouette of Sweden itself on its side.

 

Norway with half and half red & blue shirt?

Not sure I like it. I need to see shorts and socks as well to get the full impression.

 

... to see if the gradient continues all the way down to the shoes

 

Not a fan of England's plain whites. Just far too "blah".

I like the red/blue gradient of Norway's kit from a lone aesthetic standpoint, but I'm not sure if it's a good "fit" for the nation. Maybe because it's *too* generic? Like there wasn't much design thought put into it - it's *just* a gradient.

Everything else looks pretty good I guess - though England's red rose(?) kit and Sweden's Sweden kit are probably top of the kits so far.

Top thread on Nike kits:

this may be an old question: I assume Brazil has five stars on their jersey since the Brazil men have won five WC (have they won five?)? If so, then the German jersey can add additional stars, plus France, Italy, England, too. Just confusing but I guess no set rules?

 

I am okay with Norway jersey. Let's see all of them and we could do a ranking contest - maybe everyone pick their top five or something?

 

...and Spain, too.

 

Yep, no set rules. Also for Brazil the stars are considered part of the crest (and not the only country with stars in the crest), whereas they're not for Germany and US, et al.

The Matildas pay homage to the old "Spew" kits of the Socceroos.

It's been so popular that the replica Male shirts sold out in hours.
Designed to be only for the Matildas, it's so popular maybe we could see it move over to the men.

New Orange Lionesses shirt:


I don't like it.
It has the feeling of a washed out cheap sweatshop quality shirt.
Orange is a colour that sparkles and is right into your face. This crap thing is akin to a piece of cloth that faded in too much sun.
That strange faded centre part seems to be a stylized tulip.
Gsus. After the unbelievable shit Adidas 1988 design Nike achieves to come up with this.

 

China's away kit is very nice.


fenix is a part of their team crest so imprinting it on the shirt looks quite cool


too bad they didn't go with dragon in the home kit...but looks well none the less

I'm pretty sure Norway would not have been allowed to use our one star earned by the women's team on the men's team jersey in a World Cup - if we ever qualify again. It's ridiculous to see teams like Brazil flash five stars in a WWC. Germany only use their two stars earned by the women and not four by the men, so certain countries deliberately choose to wear fake shirts in a World Cup.

 

IIRC the German WNT used their men's stars until they won their first own WC.
