Yeah Neymar is going to tear it up. This Brazilian team are favourites for me just ahead of Spain and Germany.

Just been reviewing WC kits and there are some lovely kits but also dull vanilla ones too. It's weird how Brazil have their numbers central at the front of the shirt but every other Nike kit has them on the right.

It's also funny how some Addidas kits for the smaller nations are so cookie cutter. No effort other than plain colours.

My favourite shirts are France, home and away, Nigeria home, Germany home and England away. Tbh there are so many I'll have missed some out.

Peru and Japan are talked about a lot. I do think the daily mail are off on some of their ratings.

No doubt this is directly related to their relative lack of resources.
I'm not getting the love for the Nigeria kit. Looks fucking horrid to me.

Not really about resources.

I read a really interesting article about how Nike come up with new designs for teams. Granted that's Nike but the Nigerian FA were open to new ideas so the designers could play around a bit more. They try to create a story or capture the general mood of the country or footy or incorporate some history. 

Some countries don't want their kits played with at all. Countries with large histories in footy especially. For example for Brazil it HAS to be the same yellow...period. England are similar. Argentina's (Addidas) kit looks exactly the same as before. 

With France it's about subtle style so you can clearly see class in both their home and away kits.

Croatia have bigger squares but not sure if it's actually better.

The Aussie home kit is poor for me. The away is nice though.
