Now that every team has played their first game at the World Cup, time to announce my favourites.
You can also look back at the 2022 and 2018 editions.
Overall, I'd say Adidas win with their kits and all my favourites are by the German supplier.
Curaçao
They may have been hammered by Germany in their first ever World Cup game, but their away kit is a thing of beauty. Adidas claim it's yellow but I'd say it's a deep beige.
Germany
It was Germany who inflicted that defeat on Curaçao, while wearing their home kit inspired by previous designs. But it's their away kit which looks way better to me.
Spain
Completing the hat-trick for away kits, it's Spain's! Similar to Curaçao in main colour, but it features a single star for their 2010 World Cup win.
Japan
You won't believe it, but it's another away kit. This time for Japan, it's pretty beige again but having seen this one in the flesh, it's a fantastic shirt.
