Assuming this is for the Olympics? Maybe there will be a USMNT one as well for Gold Cup, or something different.

This is definately the 3rd that will be worned in the Olympics (womens) and Gold Cup (mens) 

This was from the 2017 GC

Santos doing a one off with Fortnite as the main jersey sponsor for the Copa Libertadores Final. 

International = National Teams

Club = Club teams like Santos

It’s a new year, so why not start a new thread for International Kits 

Cameroon switched from Puma to that French brand for 2021

Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you a little bit on this one. People making 10 cents an hour to stitch shoes together is a TERRIBLE abuse of human rights, and absolutely should be fought. But by the time this particular World Cup rolls around, there could be somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500-5,000 human deaths associated with construction. That's absolutely mortifying. 

um...maybe up to 5,000 human deaths? 

Im gonna go look that up, I didnt know it was so much. Lord have mercy

I agree that there's no ethical consumption under captialism. But that doesn't mean you have to turn your brain off and recognize increasingly terrible and increasingly shocking uses of slave labor.

 

If we don't point out the excesses of Qatar, it just makes a North Korea World Cup that much more likely. Not sure if you've noticed the recent global rise of authoritarianism, but tacit acceptance of mingling sports and fascism ends up bad for everyone. Or at least it did in 1936.

Ok, so are you going to boycott the World Cup?

Its important to call out Qatar for what they are doing with these migrant workers and I have, but im not boycotting a World Cup. I LOVE World Cups too much

Slave labour be damned, right?

If you consider that "slave labor" then you are cool with most of those Nike gear you are wearing made in sweatshops in China huh? 

Most corporations in USA are using prisoners for 10 cents and hour to manufacture parts. Its a cruel world we live in, so if your gonna single out Qatar and their methods of building their World Cup stadium then be critical of all the messed up labor that permeates society. 

Listen, its not the best circumstance and I wish it wasnt awarded, but at this point lets move ahead and enjoy the World Cup. Simple

The World Cup isnt going anywhere. Qatar is hosting it, first Arab World Cup, first Winter World Cup. Deal with it 

yall seen this yet?

yooooo this thread is hilrious
