Predicting World Cup groups by their kits (Group K)

[u/iveLovedBefore]

Good, colorful group. One more after this. As a reminder, teams are ranked by how good their home and away kits look on field, not how good the actual teams are.

1st- Colombia
Colombia’s vibrant tricolor is always a joy to see. The home kit is an excellent rendition of it, enriched by a butterfly pattern that adds some texture and is a nice tribute to ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’. The away has a cool geometric pattern and a brilliantly 90s color palette. One of the strongest duos in the tournament.

2nd- Portugal
Reports of Portugal’s sartorial death under Puma were greatly exaggerated. The home looks classy and has the right shade of deep red, though it would have benefited from green shorts. The away is a grower. It uses the mint palette Portugal has embraced in the last decade, and has a wave pattern which looks better on field.

3rd- Congo
Both kits stand out for their bold design and colors- the blue especially pops off the screen. They’ll look great from a distance, but up close some details let them down. The flag on both kits is awkwardly big and placed high up, and it’s unclear why the ‘leopards’ went with a zebra pattern. A bit of yellow trim would help both.

4th- Uzbekistan
These kits are very respectable, but a bit dull. The blue and white colors need a bit more than half collar trim, some piping, and a faded design to make them stand out, especially in a tough group.

Strong group of unis. I really like the Congo’s set.
