jch Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 After FIFA logic it will propably be red (USA) against black (Belgium). Because white for the US and red for Belgium are the 'light kits' for both. But one has to wear their dark kit and the other their light kit.Using that "FIFA logic" example if one has to wear its light kit and the other its dark kit wouldn't it be Belgium in black (dark) and USA in white (light)?

guest23 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Despite there being some solid kit designs in this cup, fifa's desire to create more drastic contrast between teams has made it the ugliest cup that I can remember with these forced hodgepodge color combinations.

CreamSoda Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Why is France in white shirts and blue shorts....If blue shorts are fine against the green shorts, and the white shirt is fine against the green shirt, why couldn't it be reversed.They easily could have been in the Blue, White, Red look....

It's sad that France will propably not wear their navy-white-red combination in this tournament. The only way I would expect it is in a half-final against Brazil.

Drew22 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The real issue is that a red jersey is considered the light jersey for Belgium, but a red jersey is considered a dark jersey for the USA. If the previous picture is what they are wearing, it's light vs. light. Which looks great. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I would expect it is in a half-final against Brazil.IMHO dark shorts give a really good contrast againt lime green kits. It's a pity that Argentina and Germany didn't follow. I still hope France will go for Tricolore in the quarterfinals and force Germany to use black shorts. That would be a proper international matchup.

Sport Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It is way harder to distinguish Algeria's bright green from Germany's all white than many of the matchups that FIFA shot down in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 My bet would be on a coin toss, or they could pull a Spain-Netherlands and have both teams wear their secondary/alternate kits.FIFA (and UEFA, for the Euros) pre-determines "home" and "away" for the entire tournament before hand. If you go to their site, the home team is always listed first. Brazil & the Netherlands are "home" against their opponents in the QFs, so they'll get first choice of kits.If you look at the original match schedule (PDF, with the games sorted by city), it shows who is "home" for each match. It follows from top to bottom, left to right. So Brazil's half of the bracket is the "home" team in the final. Brazil's QF winner is "home" in the semifinal. The FRA/NGA winner is "home" against GER/ALG. Netherlands is "home" against Costa Rica, and the winner are the "home" team in the semifinal. ARG/SUI winner is "home" against the BEL/USA winner.I was under the same impression. Yet, now we have Nigeria in home kits and France in away kits.It might have been a repeat of the Costa Rica - Greece game. The match commentator specifically said that Costa Rica chose to wear white because of their earlier success in it.Being "home" only means you get first choice of kit, not that you will wear your home kit. And only in the event of a non-clash. Don't be surprised if NED-CRC show up in blue v white, since orange doesn't clash well with white or red. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

This seems to happen every world cup/olympics where you have a cinderella team and a run on their merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinman11121 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well, the US went undefeated in the World Cup with their "Bomb Pop" jerseys. So I guess it's okay I'm waiting for mine in the mail still. Right? Zach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they weren't fake? The last batch of kits to actually release long sleeves to the public were the authentic 2008-2009 qualifying shirts and the 2006 World Cup long sleeve replicas. Anything you see for this year and the previous qualifying cycle must be player issued or fake because they haven't released any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've seen long sleeve versions of the 2010 home shirts. But most fans probably prefer the short sleeve jerseys anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
