There are some slick threads set to be show Down Under at this summer’s Women’s World Cup.
Here, we take a look at the top 10 to look out for, in no particular order.
What better way to start than with the defending champions? It is a little unorthodox with the blue splashing across the white but the golden trim for the manufacturer and holders logo gives it the gravitas this side deserve.
It wouldn’t be a World Cup without Nigeria releasing a kit which proves extremely popular – and 2023 is no different.
Many of the eye-catching adidas efforts for the tournament pay tribute to nature within specific countries and Germany is the perfect example, with this beauty “inspired by the various deep green woodland areas – from the Black Forest to the Zauberwald.”
Continuing that theme from adidas, Colombia’s change kit pays tribute from the Cano Cristales River, sometimes referred to as the River of Five Colours and that can be evidenced by the pink and yellow hues which compliment the primary purple scheme. Majestic.
One of the host nations make the cut, with Nike also paying a more subtle hint to Kiwi nature with their iconic black complimented by a silver fern design – the country’s symbol at sporting events.
The away effort with its blend of blues is impressive but there are few jerseys more iconic than the orange Dutch home kit. Like clockwork, it is the case again.
The maple leaf design is the main attraction of this one, even more stark against the Olympic gold medallists’ striking red.
Like Germany and Colombia above, Argentina’s adidas away kit pays homage to the country’s natural environment: namely the mountain ranges of the Serranía de Hornocal and Ushuaia. It does so in some style too.
It had to make it. Let’s face it, without that famous yellow jersey it just isn’t a football World Cup.
What a kit to conclude. Japan have made a habit of stealing the show with their outrageous and audacious designs at major tournaments in recent years but this pink and lilac tribute to the rising sun at Mount Fuji may be their best yet.
