World Cup 2018 Kit Power Rankings So Far by Mbamally(m): 4:59pm On Jun 04, 2018
19. Russia
The hosts could have gone for something daring, special and memorable for their time in the spotlight in the summer.

Instead they've just done what they always do.
We swear we've been here before.

Isn't this what they've always worn?

*we hope no-one in Russia is reading this*


18. Switzerland

We swear we've been here before, too.

We have, right?

17. Sweden

Nah
Right, you're having a laugh now.

Sweden have definitely worn this at every major tournament they've ever been in for for the last 20 years.

Definitely.

16. Iran


The Iranian kit has already seen some action (Image: AFP)
Iran will be gracing the World Cup in the kit they qualified for it in, with the strip seen in September's playoff win over Syria also going to be the same one they'll be wearing in Russia.

Adidas seems to have given them, Sweden and Russia the thin end of the wedge though, as there were much nicer designs available.

15. Mexico


Very... Mexican (Image: Adidas)
Mexico's flash of green is always welcome at every World Cup they grace, but they do seem to have taken the Route One approach this time around.

It'll do though.

14. Uruguay


It's a little bit simplistic, but it's fine (Image: xxxxxxxxxxx)
Another team in a distinctive kit, Uruguay do also seem to have fallen into the "a bit 2012 Olympics" mode with their effort.

13. Iceland


With extra points for the ice cool video presentation, Iceland will arrive for their first ever World Cup not looking all that different from their Euro 2016 adventure, but different enough.

The white, almost frosty quality on the shoulders is a nice touch, and will add something extra to those thunder claps that are going to echo all around Russia.

12. Portugal

The gold numbering and lettering might well have been a suggestion from Cristiano Ronaldo himself, but seeing as they are the reigning European champions then we'll let them get away with it.

11. Brazil

In fact, it's SO much of a Brazil kit that Nike's designers apparently went to the Football Museum in Sao Paulo and created a yellow which exactly matches the yellow worn at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, when they were really rather good.

No pressure there then, Neymar.

10. Argentina
It's alright. Actually it's better than alright. It's an Argentina kit, so it'd be hard for it not to be alright.

All a bit paint by numbers though.

9. Egypt


Mo Salah will be running down the wing in this (Image: xxxxxxxxxxx)
The kit sported by Mohamed Salah and company this summer deserves to be a hit, and there's something about the check pattern on the shirt which makes it so.

It's bit different, and that is to be applauded.

8. England

The collar looks nice, and the more simplistic design fits in well with the placement of the number.

Should be a winner, even if the team aren't.

7. France

Not veering too far away from traditional French kits, but does it need to? Of course not.

Would maybe be higher if they'd stuck their neck out and gone all blue. But we're fans. Solid top 10 kit.

6. Germany

As with the rest of this batch of Adidas kits, there is something of a pleasingly retro look to the number Germany will be wearing in Russia.

And it suits them, doesn't it?

5. Spain


Nice? Si (Image: Adidas)
After the debacle that was the 2014 World Cup, Spain need to go big this time if they are going to regain their reputation.

This is a good start.

4. Japan


A strong effort from the Japanese (Image: Adidas)
Leicester's Shinji Okazaki and teammates will arrive in Russia in style in this sleek number that is sure to please fans in the Hipster Group H which also features Poland, Senegal and Colombia.

3. Belgium


Like the best Christmas Jumper ever (Image: Adidas)
Yes, it's a cross between something your Nan would knit and a football shirt, but by heavens does it work.

England will be fearing these shirts in the summer, and they are right to be both as intimidated and afraid as they're bound to be.

2. Colombia


Want want want want (Image: Adidas)
The best of the Adidas kits - and almost the best of all the bloomin' kits - is this effort from Colombia.

Look at it, drink it in, and immediately go out there and buy it the first chance you get.

It's glorious.

1. Nigeria

Wow (Image: Nike)
And while you're there, pick up this glorious effort from Nigeria that comes out as a deserving No. 1.

It's incredible, frankly, and is bound to turn us all into Super Eagles in the summer.

Okay, Nigeria has the best kit so far, great. But who is going to be scoring goals?


Super Eagles should better be prepared to do the needful with that kit.


Nice kit + Wins = Trophy


Nice Kit + Losses = ?


Nice Kit + Draws = ?
