With the World Cup near its completion, I’ve decided to rank the top 10 best kits from this World Cup. It was tough because each kit was fantastic but here are my top 10.

 

10. Senegal Away Kit

This jersey was one of my favorites. This jersey represents what Senegal is all about. Passion, strength and speed. Puma did a wonderful job showing that into this jersey. Unfortunately Senegal didn’t qualify into the knockout stages, but their jersey have left a special impact for me.

 

9. Egypt Away Kit

This jersey is simple but elegant. Egypt’s home kit is just as nice but the white one does wonders for me. I do love the color white on jersey but this one with the black three stripes from Adidas, makes it wonderful.

 

8. Iceland Home Kit

This is how you present yourself on your first ever appearance of the World Cup. Iceland’s whole World Cup kits could make the list but the blue (Home) kit is one of my favorites. The red and white on the sleeves is so unique and it works wonderfully. It represents what Iceland is all about.

 

7. Costa Rica Away Kit

I absolutely hated this kit at first. But it grew on me big time. It looks very elegant and classy. The gold trim on the side of the sleeves make this kit a all time great. New Balance did a great job with this kit.

 

6. France Home Kit

A very unique kit since Argentina hasn’t wore black since 2009, but it is a very successful change. This kit is wonderful. It has the Argentinean flag colors on the sides with the white three stripes. Yep, Adidas did Argentina very right.

 

4. Colombia Home Kit

Colombia had a lot of success with Adidas. This one might be their best kit yet. Such a bright ad vibrant kit. Represents what Colombia is all about. Passion, excitement and fun!

 

3. Japan Home Kit

This is one of my favorite kits ever! This reminds me of what Samurai robes would look like. I absolutely adore this kit. The away kit is underrated as well but the home kit is stunning.

 

2. Spain Home Kit

This is elegance and boldness at its best. It is vintage Spain. The red is bright and bold but the zig zag designs on the side makes this kit a all time classic.

 

1. Nigeria Home Kit

What can I say about this kit? It is a bold move from Nike to create a design like this. It is the most high demanded jersey ever in a World Cup. It sold out in hours. One of my favorite kits ever. You can wear it out or even to play. It’s just that awesome.

France and Denmark traded blows in a intense defensive affair. Denmark needs only a draw or win to advance to the knockout and eliminate a pesky Australia.

France played with most of their subs as starters with their safety already. A win or draw will give France the top spot of Group C.

The game ended goalless but Denmark and France advanced after Peru’s 2-0 victory over Australia.
