Would look better as an away kit for LAFC or Atlanta United. Color choice aside, seems like New Balance is finally, nicely settling into soccer design. Agreed. New Balance also has nice kits for Ireland that sadly could not be seen in the World Cup. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinsUp1214 5,676 Posted June 22, 2018 Okay so at first, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Nigeria’s kit. But you know what, the more I see it, the more I’m sold. I really like it a lot now. It really stands out from among the rest in both design and color, is memorable, and unmistakeable. It just totally works. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 6,573 Posted June 22, 2018 Glad we're getting to see it in action. I was half expecting FIFA to get silly and claim that it was too close to royal blue and would force Nigeria into their dark green and Iceland into their white. I don't think the templatey Nike socks complement the rest of it the kit, but I guess that's relatively small as a complaint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andregunts 388 Posted June 22, 2018 That Nigeria Iceland game was beautiful to look at Also, I LOVE when Brazil wears blue in a tournament. Obviously I love the iconic canary, but when they break out the blue its like a special occasion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsblues02 674 Posted June 22, 2018 Why do no pro sports teams use Brazil’s color scheme? The vibrant blue, yellow and green. It looks so good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,573 Posted June 22, 2018 ^ That sequence, @andregrunts, confirms how extra special the current Brazil blue kit is, for me! Most of those I find kind of bland or lacking. But the current one's specific shade, and the subtle pattern, and the use of yellow really make it. Maybe it's better because they wore all-blue today, instead of the white shorts. (I also weirdly like that teal one they briefly had, though not with the clashing shorts as above.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adobo 52 Posted June 23, 2018 So Belgium and Tunisia are both in Away kits for no good reason... but for this one time I'll let it slide because at least it's not ANOTHER group G all-red vs all-white matchup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a general rule, I really love matchups with light/dark/light vs. dark/light/dark, and this is no exception. Sweden could’ve, and some would say should’ve, gone with their yellow/blue/yellow primaries, but their secondaries make for a better overall contrast with Germany’s traditional white and black home kit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Sweden kit was gorgeous on TV. Amazing what happens when you don’t just default to navy and Vegas Gold. Fortunately I don’t think they’ll change the Swedish flag anytime soon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Australia should stick to their original colours of yellow shirts, green short and white socks that they wore in the 70's and brought back once in 2014. Most people agree that is their iconic look, yet Nike insist on messing around with it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
