A deep green base with subtle tonal patterning and clean execution. It’s tidy, but maybe too tidy - feels like it’s missing that extra bit of personality you want on a World Cup stage.
Rating: 3/5
Black with electric blue swirling graphics - a proper departure from the classic stripes. It’s bold, a bit chaotic, but somehow still feels very Argentina. Not everyone will love it, but it’s got presence. Got a mid-2000 vibe.

Dark base with flame-like detailing creeping through the shirt. It’s slick and modern, but doesn’t quite hit the heights of Belgium’s recent golden era kits.
Rating: 3/5

White base covered in pink floral graphics - inspired by national symbolism. It’s brave, different, and will split opinion right down the middle.
Rating: 4/5

Textured teal with neon accents and a hypnotic wave pattern. Feels fresh, energetic and very Adidas. One of the more wearable designs. Look how happy Luiz Diaz looks.

Floral patterns of blue and pink. This is special. Where's Joel Campbell?

Ooft. Soft trefoil yellow with amazing numbering on the side. Sign me up.
Rating: 5/5

A deep navy with subtle geometric detailing. It’s understated, classy and very Germany - but maybe plays it a bit too safe compared to others here. Look how relaxed Wirtz looks.
Rating: 4/5

Simple blue with tonal striping. Clean and traditional, but not much else going on. Boring!!
Rating: 2/5

White base with soft pattern work and classic trim. Nicely balanced - feels like a modern nod to vintage Adidas.

White with intricate tonal detailing and gold/navy trim. This is classic Italy done right - elegant without being boring. What is Tonali looking at?
Rating: 5/5

Yellow base with bold horizontal striping in black, green and red. It’s loud, it’s unmistakable, and it absolutely works.
Rating: 5/5

Off-white with 12 multicolour paint-stroke lines. It’s artistic, unique and very Japan. One of the most distinctive shirts in the pack.
Rating: 5/5

Green with Aztec-inspired patterning running through the fabric. This is exactly what you want from Mexico - culture, history, and style all in one.
Rating: 5/5

White with subtle green detailing. Clean. Looks a bit like a non match tee.

Mad Peru away klaxon. Black base with yellow trim and multi coloured adidas logo.
Rating: 4/5

Minimal white with maroon accents. It’s sharp, but very safe.
Rating: 2/5

Green with tonal striping and a really nice texture. Subtle but effective - one that grows on you.
Rating: 3/5

Salmon-pink with pinstripes - a throwback feel with a modern twist. It’s unusual, but in a good way. Reminds you of the away shirt from the early 90s.
Rating: 4/5

I just love it.
Green with gold detailing and textured pattern work. Feels premium and rooted in identity - quietly one of the best. Reminds me of the 90s kappa shirts in a way.

What is going on here. Blue textured wavy base. Amazing gold numbering and v neck trim. Isak and Gyok will absolutely love wearing this.
Rating: 3/5

Blue base with soft graphic overlays. Elegant, but slightly forgettable.
Rating: 3/5

White shirt with multi coloured adidas crest and Venezuela print.
Rating: 4/5

Crisp white with green/red trim. Feels like a nod to retro Wales kits, but lacks a standout feature.
Rating: 3/5
