Speaking as folk who absolutely adored Colombia’s retro-tinged 2014 World Cup offering, Pies are happy to announce that their 2018 uniform is, arguably, even more handsome.
Would you just look at that? The alluring washed out yellow? The hints of classic trefoil on the flanks? That ace Federacion Colombiana de Futbol badge? It’s so beautiful it’s making our teeth ache.
Colombia’s new togs have been unveiled as part of ‘Adidas Day’ (to which it may or may not be officially referred) on which the brand cough up the majority of their wares for the upcoming World Cup.
Mexico’s 2018 strip is a bit of alright…
As is Belgium’s, inspired by their 1984 World Cup aesthetic…
The defending Weltmeisters are also going to look the part in Russia, with a prim kit inspired by their 1990 World Cup livery…
As will the erstwhile hosts…
Spain have gone big with echoes of ’94…
Argentina have adopted the clean, uncluttered lines of their 1993 Copa America kit, the last major honour the Albiceleste managed to win…
And a special mention must go to Japan’s exemplary kit, featuring a graphic apparently inspired by the stitching on traditional Samurai armour…
Now that’s a looker.
Colombia still pip it for our money. What say you, Pies fans? Which kit has got your eyelashes a-flutterin’?
