New Caledonia 2019-21 HomeNew Caledonia 2019-21 Away Is the basis of the design stolen from the US Nike shirt? Absolutely. Does that make these bad shirts? Definitely not! They add to the shirt, but they aren’t the shirt as a whole, with the localisation on the side of that pattern, seemingly based on the KanakContinue reading “New Caledonia”

Seychelles 2019-22 HomeSeychelles 2019-22 AwaySeychelles 2019-22 GK With a history of dull templated shirts, nobody expected much from the Seychelles, let alone when they came from a local brand. But Rhino smashed it out of the park! Quality control was…interesting, with several versions showing on the pitch and in collections, but the whole shirt isContinue reading “Seychelles”

Dominica 2015-19 Home – Matchworn Javid George v ?, Nations League qualifiers It is easy to dismiss this shirt as something fairly simple. You’ve got black and yellow colouring on the sleeve cuffs and collar to liven them up and two diagonal yellow stripes, one which almost cuts across the identically coloured numbers. Two thingsContinue reading “Dominica”

eSwatini 2005 Home Reebok certainly used to be a prominent figure in the national kits scene, with this eSwatini design coming in their decline from glory. Nonetheless, while simple in construction, it is a great looking design, with the main colours from the flag breaking up any chance at monotony. The rear iof the shirtContinue reading “eSwatini”

Hungary 1991-94 Away, matchworn/prepared v GreeceHungary 2020-21 Home Not many Hungary shirts stand out, but this old Umbro template definitely does! Generally recognisable as the Wales template, the green and red arrows also mesh nicely with the colours of the Hungarian crest. There is a lot of whitespace on the lower parts of the shirtContinue reading “Hungary”

West Papua 2017 Home matchworn by ? Some say that Hummel don’t make bad shirts and this, template though it is, is no exception. Traditional chevrons down the side, lovely dark colour and an interesting pair of logos. Unusually for non-FIFA, while there are sponsors, they are limited to the rear of the shirt andContinue reading “West Papua”

Guadeloupe 2008 Home matchworn? Local brand Awak came up with this interesting shirt. The right hand side only has a sleeve logo, but came in a variety of colours while the left is thoroughly colourful, utilising all the colours available to them from the badge. Quality generally isn’t great but it uses colour well andContinue reading “Guadeloupe”

Guatemala 2019-20 HomeGuatemala 2019-20 Away A light blue sash on a white Guatemala shirt, is there any better combination? Umbro managed to liven up the standard sash with an interesting geometric pattern through it. Light and dark blue livens up the bottom of the shirt and the collar with the sleeves staying light blue, evenContinue reading “Guatemala”

Curaçao 2019-20 Home It is blue. Ok, yes, there’s a bit more than just that. It’s just, when compared to their older shirts, this really feels low effort. Some orangey-yellow accenting under the sleeves and down the sides prevents it being just one colour and the stripes across the front are subtle but pleasing toContinue reading “Curaçao”

Cook Islands 2011 Home A very dull Lotto template. A white band across the top of the chest, some white accenting across the ends of the sleeves and Lotto’s nice habit of felt logos everywhere that wouldn’t seem too out of place. Feels slightly desperate, but not in a terrible way. The rest of theContinue reading “Cook Islands”
