If there’s one thing I love about the World Cup apart from the football, it’s the shirts. Being a football fan I have always loved the kits, and own so many different ones which I’ve collected over the years.
This year is no different, and in 2026 there’s some really good looking kits on show.
The heavy hitters are the likes of Adidas, Nike and Puma, but there’s also a few smaller brands making an appearance which is nice to see.
For me, Adidas have won the battle of the fashion, with not only the best match kits, but also pre-match, training kits and all of their World Cup offerings.
Here’s a look at my favourite shirts for this World Cup.
Key Takeaways
- Adidas supply the most teams, supplying 14 countries shirts shirts
- Nike supply 12 countries shirts
- Puma supply 11 countries kits
- The remaining 11 kits are from smaller brands
- Shirts are around £85 – £90 with authentic versions being £120 – £130
Best Adidas Kits At The 2026 World Cup
Spain Home & Away Shirts 2026
the Spain home shirt is red with a dashed yellow pinstripe pattern to the front, and has navy blue sleeves. It’s quite a nice looking shirt, but not as good as the away shirt.
The Spain away shirt has sold out, and is very sought after. I still haven’t got mine yet, but plan to. It’s an off white colour with deep red colours and uses the Adidas trefoil badge. It looks clean and is one of the best shirts at the World Cup.
Mexico Shirts For 2026 World Cup
The Mexico kits are some of my favourite, and there’s three. One of the only teams to have 3 kits, the home is green with a traditional Aztec pattern. The away is a super clean white with red and green detailing. The 3rd kit is black, with green detailing and the Adidas trefoil badge.
Japan And Curacao Away Shirts For 2026
The Japan away shirt has had it’s plaudits and is one of the most loved World Cup shirts this year. A clean off-white colour comes with pin stripe multicolours to the front, and is a really good looking shirt.
Curacao make their debut at the World Cup, and Adidas did not disappoint. The home shirt is blue, but this clean cut away shirt in yellow with blue and red trim is the one which caught my eye.
Germany Home & Away Shirts 2026
It’s the last dance for Adidas and Germany, the last World Cup kit before the German FA switches and moves to Nike. They’ve given them a good send off with both the home and away kits.
The home is the traditional white with a red, gold and black pattern to the front, a nod to the 1990 design. The away is a beautiful dark blue with turquoise colour and pattern in the shirt, it looks really good.
Belgium Away And Argentina Away
Belgium and Argentina have away shirts that really catch the eye. Both colourful and have patterns in them, along with the Adidas Trefoil logo.
Argentina’s is a dark blue colour with light blue and purple patterns, while the Belgium shirt goes more pastel, with pink and blue and a pattern in the shirt.
Sweden Away and Colombia Home
Sweden’s away shirt is striking, and they’ve gone for a familiar blue colour, this time with a cool tonal pattern in the shirt. It’s trimmed with a golden yellow colour, with the badges to the front matching.
The Colombia home shirt is a nice and clean traditional yellow with tonal pattern, and is trimmed with blue and electric orange giving it a colourful but clean look.
Best Nike Kits At The 2026 World Cup
Brazil Home & Away Shirts
Brazil have a nice and clean looking home shirt, with it’s traditional yellow along with a green trim and highlights of blue. The away shirt is from the Jordan Nike brand, featuring a dark blue and black colour pattern and yellow detailing.
Norway Home, Away & 3rd Shirts
The Norway home shirt is perhaps the most patriotic you can get, it’s the Norwegian flag on a shirt. Red, blue and white colours, it’s really distinctive. For the away and 3rd shirts, they’ve gone for a black out and white out shirt respectively. These are really clean looking, which contrasts to the home.
France Away & South Korea Away Shirts
I saw the France away shirt have an outing in a friendly against Northern Ireland, and it looks quite nice. Minimalist and a mint green, it’s a nice shirt, but the colour does not show too well on a TV screen.
The Korea away shirt is a beautiful purple colour, with a flower pattern which is really distinctive. One of the best Nike shirts at this year’s World Cup.
Best Puma Kits At The 2026 World Cup
Portugal Away & Ivory Coast Away Shirts
Two of Puma’s shirts which caught my eye were the Portugal away and Ivory coast away shirts. The Portugal shirt is a two colour green toned shirt, a sea green type of colour which really stands out.
The Ivory Coast has a white base, with orange and green pattern in it which looks really distinctive.
