Home or away ? Or any ?
@@Warp75 any! Which is your favourite shirt 🤔🙌
Toss up between Ecuador [shout out to Caicedo, Estupiñán & Sarmiento] home & the Japan [shout out to Mitoma] home, but the one I’d definitely wear is the Japan home.
Well done Marathon though.
Welcome back lads
Have a great crimbo & a tip top 2023
Mexico home for me, an absolute beauty!
Belgium away, england away and ecuador home, in that order
I think Japan has the best kit this year. The bold colors and the texture pattern are just so unique and the yellow numbering REALLY pulls it together as well
Such a pity that the Mexico away didn't get a wear at the World Cup, stunning kit. But hard to beat a classic Argentina Home Jersey serves it's nostalgic purpose
Massive shame not to see that Mexico kit, for sure!
I'm so happy the channel is back! My favorite shirt is the Mexico Away. It's a shame that it was never actually used in the tournament.
We're glad to be back! Keep an eye on our twitter tomorrow for news on the Mexico Away shirt from this video!
@@TheKitBreakdown Looking forward to it!
My favorite shirt would be the Japan and France one! It stands out and honestly for a kit someone would want to collect, it's been in about as many memorable games as any iconic world cup shirt! Probably why I'm a bit sad for Mexico and Belgium not using their away kit tho good news for people watching out for the Belgium one since it'll be on sale.
Totally, those shirts will be iconic. Mexico and Belgium away shirts are still brilliant, and hopefully we get to see them in qualifiers & other internationals soon!
As a Germany shirt collector, I really liked the home shirt, big fan of the central crest and logos, flag incorporated into the neck and trim works for me,
I’m from Ecuador and it’s great to hear you like the shirt 😂👍
Glad you fellas are back!
quote of the video : "Well . . . there you go kids"
Keep up the great work
Thanks Carl, much appreciated! :)
The gold swoosh and crest on France Home is such a classy look. A fitting kit for a top class team and defending champions
This is the content we're all here for! Thanks so much guys and thanks to Subside for all the shirts! My favourite has got to be the France Away kit. Red Star vibes. Desperate to get one myself.
We love it too! We'll be taking closer look at that one next week :)
For me it's the Brazil GK kit (Black one). The black jaguar look is just awsome 😍
An unusual but very solid choice!
The Brazil Home shirt is memorable. I reckon with how far theyve gone it has a chance to be an iconic kit as it is such a change from the standard yellow and green swoosh kit.
We think so too, and will be taking a detailed look soon, as well as comparing it to Craig's 2002 shirt! They've definitely gone back to that iconic luminous look!
My favourite shirt is the England away. Collared, Retro vibes, fantastic. :)
These guys know their stuff. This channel is great.
Thank you! Much more to come :)
As you said in this video, as a whole, insane standard of shirts this tournament. The fact that long sleeve kits are finding their way back in makes them even better. For me, the France Away player version especially in long sleeve, tops the lot, it’s simply a beautiful masterpiece. Hang it in the Louvre.
The France away is definitely a piece of art!
My favourite kit at this World Cup is the Argentina away. It’s a great contrast to the more standard home kit with the wild purple flames on the away.
Something about the Germany away top I just love. I agree with what you guys said about Adidas fitting their designs to their respective federations really well, I feel some of the zig zag patterns on the German kit could remind me of the mountain landscapes of Bavaria, etc.
I am a student of the Soccer Kits Course. I thought brands put a lot of effort into bringing innovative graphics and structures. From the aesthetic point of view of uniforms, this Qatar cup was the best. I don't agree with the choice of the Denmark Shirt, I think the Netherlands (Home), Brazil (Home) and Belgium (Home) should be on the list.
Great selection, although I would of loved to hear about Ecuadors away shirt, its the one I most liked and bought
Nigeria and Brazil kit is 🔥
Another great video chaps. My fave... Mexico away and France home/away. The French one especially looks classy on field too. (Hope Saturday is the last time we see it at the tournament though!)
Thank you Simon! That France kit is quality, and we'll be looking at it next week (here and on Patreon in more depth). Talk about timing! ;)
Great video! It is France's home kit for me
A great choice! We’ll be looking at it in more depth next week! 🙌
Great video. Favourite World Cup shirt has to be Argentina away.
mexico away shirt is fire
We love it
Morocco kit was best it had history from 98, retro style. Now it's a iconic shirt selling like hot cakes.
For me an underrated shirt was the Wales away.
Gorgeous collar on it.
That dark blue Ecuador away shirt was a beautiful thing from an unfancied manufacturer (Marathon)? Credit where it's due. Also a bit of intrigue as they changed the badge after release!
Marathon have done a great job with Ecuador!
It's really sad that Mexico never wore the away kit in the WC. Fifa should do a better job of having each team wear both home and away at least once each during group stages. Where there is a will there is a way
My favourite shirt this year is probably the Mexico away, sad we didn't get to see it on the pitch.
But surprised that the England away kit didn't get mentioned. I think it's a great looking kit.
The guys weren't too keen, but we know the fans will love it in general as it's a throwback! Hopefully we get to see it on the pitch :)
@@TheKitBreakdown fair play, I feel it does a good job of a modern take on a retro look.
How in the world is the Moroccan home kit not present!
Marathon have smashed it with the Ecuador kits. Particularly like how the blue away kit looks on the players
shame they couldn't be arsed to do the same with their Peruvian or Bolivian kit.
This would be my top 5 t-shirts:
- Mexico Away
-England away
- Japan home
- Equator away
- Belgium home
If I were to win I would love the Netherlands shirt as it is the team I support
Performances definitely make or break a shirt! No winning shirt can be bad... can it?
I’m not biased but I loved the Australia kit this year
Great video chaps. Agree wholeheartedly about the Mexico away - it's stunning. Also love both the German shirts - Adidas have gone next level
Adidas leading the way this tournament! Although a couple from Nike (France, Brazil) are also great. We'll be checking out that Brazil kit very soon!
Loved the mexico away kit
I think the best kit is the England secondary. It hits the right combination of throw-back and modern. That red with the light blue is a great contrast.
Loving the content on this channel. Keep it up gentleman. Bought 2 of the top 6 kits. Mexico takes it for me. Shame it was never used. France away takes second and Belgium away third
Thank you for the support, it means a lot! Some cracking choices there too!
It’s a real toss up between Belgium away, Mexico away, France away, Ecuador away and Brazil home. The Mexico edges it for me, but I agree with what you both said - it’s definitely one of the better world cups for kits since 1990. My first wc in memory was 98, which set the standard I measure against and many since have failed miserably. 2002 was good, but on the whole (clearly there are a few exceptions), since then there has been a lot of dross amongst the 32 federations every four years. Thank goodness there weren’t more puma teams in Qatar!
Some great choices! We really don't know what Puma are up to at the minute... The Ultraweave certainly doesn't look like it's standing up to the Qatari heat! Those Swiss players yesterday looked drenched.
The Ecuador Away and the Japan Away kit should have been on the video IMO, both are Top five for me definitely... that been said my favorite WC Shirt is Japan Home.
The size of the USA badge is crazy
It's certainly loud and proud!
I actually love the Third Japan kit. That is my favourite kit.
I think the Ecuador Away and Third are even better than the Home ... I Also like The Brasil away and the England Away (feels very Umbro)
Argentina away. Ecuador and Croatia away kits are also good.
Even the French Orange Goalkeeper kit for this WC is great, shame it's not for retail. As a collective of kits i think France takes it
Nike have definitely knocked it out of the park with France! We'll be taking a closer look at the French kits next week :)
France home shirt
I am going for the Japan kit! Apart from the smart design inspired by the crane, the kit also beat Germany, beat Spain (was the ball in or out?) and penalty drama. Great Stuff.
Will go down in Japanese football history!
clearly Germans and Spanish players too busy admiring the japan kit to play proper football
I would love to get your take on the Canada kits. I thought they were stunning.
My favourites are definitely the Japan duo 🇯🇵 both fantastic efforts and adidas have really knocked it out of the park with their designs for this World Cup!
Both great kits! What d'you think about the special edition kit?
@@TheKitBreakdown I’m in agreement about it needing a bit more. I love the concept, and think the colours are very unique and fit with Japanese culture very well, but so much more could have been done with it. Perhaps a cherry blossom patterning of some sort? Feels a particularly shame as I believe they only released a more expensive authentic version and didn’t make a replica version for the lower price
@@conormercer8488 that seems a very fair assessment! A cool concept but could definitely have gone further
Funnily enough, DC United have cherry blossoms on their shirts this season, based on the blossoms that the Japanese gifted them in the early 1900’s.
I usually like Japanese kits, but the home is ruined by the blank back panel…an issue on a number of Adidas kits that could have looked beautiful.
Maybe you lads could do a video about different strategies used for visibility of names and numbers (which has been affected by competition regulations over the years)?
Japan home kit is my favorite ❤️
A good choice!
Japan, third kit 🤌
It's interesting how many of your favorite kits (which I agree with) did not actually get worn at the World cup. I'm mostly disappointed to not have seen the Mexico away kit, with the green shorts it looked fantastic. Funny o'l game, isn't it?
It's a shame, but hopefully we'll get to see them in qualifiers etc after the tournament!
Here in the netherlands the opinions about out home shirt are very mixed. I am not the biggest fan of it and think the home kit of last year was better but what do you guys think of the netherlands away kit? (I also prefer the away kit of last year over this years.)
We thought the away kit was ok, but a fairly straight up version of the Nike template, which we aren't so keen on. Maybe if the Oranje go all the way, they'll suddenly look more appealing!
Well it has to be Korea away isn't it? The dynamic blue, red and yellow against a black backdrop is asethetically appealling and comes with rich culture symbolism: In Korean traditions blue represents wood, red is fire while yellow means earth, black actually means water but on this shirt I think it could be interpreted as the infinite universe. The blue red yellow combination (Obangsaek) actually appeared in their early 90s kits. Good that Nike has finally picked this up again. Hopefully this would appear on their future home shirts. This year's home shirt's tiger stripes are fine but the colour just make me think of a loaf of SPAM... Japan home come really close also --- needless to say for the origami design, the same ones they left in their spotless changing rooms
A great choice and some awesome insight there!
The France blue home kit is my favorite. Although, I think Japan is a super close second to me.
Germany Home for me, I went for the authentic long sleeve version - which left me no money for an MandM Direct Thursday drop haha. Yes I like a lot of those footy shirts, I could have spent a lot more money :)
A solid choice!
Where did you get that B cap from? Highlight of the video, that!
My favorite definitely has to be the Nigeria home kit :)
Always an iconic shirt!
Any thoughts on Spain away? For me it was an instant buy, sad to see them bow out to Morocco in the kit, but a great kit nonetheless!
I would love to know what federations are notorious for being difficult to work with. We know about a couple instances such as the banned China blackout kit.
I love the Nigeria shirt, but they didn't qualify.
I liked the Spain away kit - not conducive to good penalty taking though.
Haha!
But i like the korea home kit.korea home kit deserved in top 5.
I find that in most tournaments I can pick a clear favourite. This year not so easy... Currently I'm saying France away, but I reserve the right to change my mind. multiple times.
It's been a great tournament for shirts!
France - Home/Away
Argentina - Away
Mexico - Away
Germany - Home
Ecuador - Away.
I love the England away shirt but, sadly, Ecuador just tops it out the top 5.
Special mention to Japan Away, South Korea home and Croatia home.
Japan and Mexico never disappoint
Croatia away kit 🙌🏼 ❤️
Best kit of the tournament/selection has to be that Belgium away for me. Utterly utterly beautiful.
Also loved the Spain away as well - especially in long sleeve!
Mexico Away and Japan Home are 2 shirts that I would instantly cop but personal taste means I want a shirt to have the same pattern throughout, not just on one side 😅. I don't want to hear its rules rubbish, look at the S. Korea shirt. Brands need to stop it.
Mexico Home/South Korea Away for me is the best 👌
Miss the Umbro england kits.
can u do indonesian away kits for 2022?
The USA shirt looks like a cycling jersey
As an American, your opinions on the USMNT kits has completely changed my perspective on your analysis on all kits in general... for the worst. lmao
Also makes a lot of sense as to the kind of people who made those abominations: they're most likely not Americans! 😂
puro mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️
they live my dream
The home Puma kit for Serbia in 2018 was considerably worse than the 2022 one
the best kit this WC has to be argentina away 💜
Senegal home kit
Japan's away shirt for me
We love it!
I have a slight feeling that maybe these kit manufacturers made these wack kits on purpose (as a way to protest the WC held in Qatar, like some people are complaining its a shit world cup, so I think they made the kits shit on purpose) but that's too far I think
There have been some great kits, but there has definitely been less brand activity in general and not just related to kits - brands like Samsung have been pretty quiet too.
@@TheKitBreakdown yhhh I noticed that too
How could anyone like America’s oil spill kit and training kit with the worst collar of all time?
France, hands down
Hot take but I hate the Belgian home kit with the flames on the sleeves. Seems like something a child would design thinking it looks cool. Like putting flame decals on a hot rod. Trying too hard. But that's just what I think. I'm no expert.
Australia gives 12 points to....... Japan!
Where is Brazil?
If you check out our World Cup playlist, we've done a Brazil special episode, including the 2022 shirt! :)
Successful pirate?
We hate the US kits because it's so bland compared to what nike made for the other countries and for what Nike did for the past jerseys.
Ecuador the best 🇪🇨🇪🇨
The nerve of living in the U.K. and having worked for Nike, and criticising Qatar on human rights... delusional.
Canada always gets boring and uninspired designs from Nike.
I literally just posted about the same time as you how gorgeous I thought their World Cup kits were lol. Matter of perspective but I thought the embossing was beautiful in its understatement.
They are not bad... just seem a little plain compared to those amazing Mexico and Argentina designs. @@justincredible1990
@@alex-c7567 I thought they were plain too until I saw them up close.
Denmark kit - they dont want to be seen BUT they added a large sized Danish flag to it 🤡.
We think it's probably to do with FIFA regulations unfortunately
Mexico away is the best!
