World Cup shirts part three: Nice change for Croatia and Brazil’s tradition
16. Saudi Arabia
Very simple, elegant white shirt with a grey print. Minimalistic and quite good.
15. USA
The Americans are the only ones to feature the manufacturer’s logo on the sleeve instead of the chest. Their crest is dominant in the centre of the white shirt, with a touch of blue and red on the sleeves.
14. Brazil
An iconic yellow shirt with minimal changes. Mostly in shade, as the green on the collar and sleeves looks a tad brighter.
13. Wales
Nice, subtle pattern on the red shirt - less dizzying than the Japanese one. The away shirt is a simple white one with green and red triangles providing an interesting pattern on the collar.
12. Serbia
The Serbians probably won’t take gold medals home from Qatar, but the gold on their shirt does look great. Good combination with the dark red shirt.
11. Croatia
Croatia’s usual checkered shirt is hard to beat (and either innovate or mess up). Nike went with just a touch of novelty, making the white centre unevenly covered in the red squares, rather than being clear completely. Looks great.
10. Ghana
White shirt with national colours on the sleeve is a classic. Ghana accompanies their crest and the manufacturer’s logo with a black lone star in the centre. One little extra touch makes a nice difference.
9. South Korea
The Koreans went two contrasting ways. The home shirt is simple, one colour with a light pattern on the shoulder. The away shirt is like a dark Jackson Pollock painting, with blue, red and yellow splashes covering the black base.
One is a traditional shirt, the other a fashion statement, both good ones.
