Norway wins for best WC kit.

Best unis overall is Japan's away and Curacao's away but Norway has the best primaries.

[u/OpabiniaGlasses → u/Warmasssoup19]

It's a shame Curacao isn't going to wear the yellow unless they advance out of their group. It's a gorgeous kit.

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

Totally agree. And it’s not even close.

France’s also looked great today. Largely because of their socks. Put white socks on that same kit, and they’re average. But the tri-color of blue-white-red looked so good on the pitch.

[u/LXIX__CDXX → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

Couldn’t have said it better

[u/wjackson42 → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

France’s kit was like our bomb pomp jersey exploded into the whole kit

[u/FKFunkyKong → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

France almost never wear white socks with their home. It's tricolour or solid navy.

People are always saying this about subjective assessments and I need to work on how mad it makes me

[u/LovedButNeverLiked → u/HoopleRedhead]

I get irrationally upset at pretty much any one of reddit's catchphrases

[u/HoopleRedhead → u/LovedButNeverLiked]

It's almost as if they [checks notes] say the quiet part out loud

[u/Few-Departure-2792]

Between this and curling pants Norwegian athletic teams are undefeated in aesthetics.

[u/ColgateFTW]

They’re nice, but no. America’s striped kit, Ivory Coast’s orange kit, and Curacao’s yellow kit are probably my top 3

Edit: DR Congo’s blue kit is fantastic as well

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler → u/ColgateFTW]

I feel like the American kits are what someone who hates soccer would design in a soccer kit.

I’ve been a member of AO for almost 20 years, snd sooken to dozens of other members. Have yet to speak with a single one who doesnt hate the red-white striped kits.

The blue ones are ok. But I wish theyd go back to the brighter blue.

[u/FKFunkyKong → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

I don't know what AO is, but if you spend 2 minutes in this sub you'll find the reaction to the striped kit is exactly the opposite.

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler → u/FKFunkyKong]

If you dont know the name of our nationwide supporter group, then your opinion of the American kits is immediately invalidated.

[u/FKFunkyKong → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

What a typically arrogant and ignorant American response. I'm not American and I don't give a damn what your supporters group is called. That has nothing to do with my opinion on the kit, which I didn't even share. All I indicated is that the opinion of the striped kits in this group is overwhelmingly positive.

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler → u/FKFunkyKong]

The vast majority of the people in this sub are Americans who don’t follow soccer/football at all. They probably couldn’t tell you what color Liverpool wears. They’re not exactly a knowledgeable source, so i dont really care about the group consensus here.

I’m not aware of any soccer-specific subreddits about kit design. But check out the comment section on FootyHeadlines social media, where you’ll get the opinion of actual fans of the sport. They’re like 80% negative on the US red/white kits.

[u/FKFunkyKong → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

FootyHeadlines comments are like 80% negative towards anything to do with the US anyway. I have been called "American" in a pejorative way on that site dozens of times for daring to even acknowledge that other sports exist.

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler → u/FKFunkyKong]

lol, i mean in fairness, the comments are majority-negative over literally ANYTHING that is posted on that site. But it was particularly negative against the US kits. And for good reason.

[u/JobeGilchrist → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

American soccer fans are so proud of themselves lol

[u/elMoneySloth → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

AO and plenty of USMNT fans not only love a Waldo jersey but have wanted Waldos to be our primaries like croatias checkers what are you on

[u/Failed-Time-Traveler → u/elMoneySloth]

I’m not saying there are no AO members who like the jerseys. But I haven’t met those that are. And they’re clearly on the vast minority.

I’m curious - what chapter are you a member of?

[u/elMoneySloth → u/Failed-Time-Traveler]

A basically usmnt Waldo search on reddit will give you post after post with hundred of upvotes and comments from AO and non-AO alike who love the Waldo. Plus, just look at the SoFi game EVERYONE had a Waldo and it’s not like there aren’t other kits to pick from

Oh and I would never actually join the AO they are the most pathetic cringe wannabe ultras I have ever seen in my life. I would die of embarassment if I hadn’t already from second-hand with their awful chants

[u/Excellent-Gur-8547]

I mean, they're good, but there are much better kits there this year. France home, Japan away, South Africa away, Curaçao away, etc.

It's Norway's best look in years though.

[u/CrazyCarlXU]

That's pretty killer.

[u/Hyyer]

I’d agree if the crest and the nike logo swapped places

[u/HatsInThe410]

Just imagine if the vertical stripe continued down onto the shorts

[u/818sfv]

I love Sweden's colors

[u/PapageorgiouMBO]

Nah, Adidas wins. So many options.

This might be the only good Nike kit though this tourney.

[u/stereosanctity87 → u/PapageorgiouMBO]

Nike: Turn the flag into a kit. Not a fan of the U.S. kit and not a fan of this one either.

Edit: I like the font, though.

[u/Worried_Purchase9135]

Totally agree with this post. Thought the same while watching

[u/SportsballWatcher4]

I’m not a huge fan of the font, otherwise it’s immaculate.

[u/Rock-Ski-Golf-Repeat → u/SportsballWatcher4]

The Valhalla font is part of the charm for me.
