Blue is also their color and not Russia's which is why they'll want to put their look on things, even if they don't have their logos on it.The ball for the final should be a different look that the other balls used if they follow up with what they've done since 2006. Each tournament game ball will have the name of the teams, date and stadium it is used at. Possible design found from a simple google search? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't seen it in any of the random World Cup spam I get but I figured it'd happen anyways. adidas needs to get paid too. I'm sure I'll see versions of this floating around mens league games in a month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, even though ads suck, it would be cool if the Benz circle had the same diameter as the German soccer federation logo circle. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone had shown the memo in a forum earlier. I think it only applies to national teams though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JosiahWVU 376 Posted June 14, 2018 Pretty decent match up in the opening match of the tournament. I like Russia's kit, and Saudi Arabia is, well, a standard Nike kit. Nothing special but a solid match up IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twi 379 Posted June 14, 2018 I love the idea of the Russian socks but unfortunately it’s one of those things that get ruined by the 10 field players wearing them about 10 different ways. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To consider this in a vaccum where we are at with our modern kit designs and templates....its pretty uninspiring. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that Mexico wearing its change kit against South Korea stems from the sock clash -- since Mexico would've had to change to white socks to avoid a clash with Korea's red, they probably just opted to wear and show off the full change kit. With Sweden and Germany the other two teams in the group (no clashes there), this gives Mexico the opportunity to wear the change kit without it being a random introduction. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Saudi kit kinda sucks, but I really like that Russian kit. Not sure whether I'd like it more or less with a second blue stripe on the home shirt to match the socks, but I really do like that design. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what is banned, sorry for the confusion. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
