📸 Ranking all of the latest World Cup away kit designs | OneFootball

Adidas have dropped nine new World Cup away kits on Tuesday.

To be honest, the quality varies from ‘why have you done that’ and ‘sack the designer’ to ‘shut up and take my money’ and ‘give them the trophy right now’.

So we’ve ranked the nine kits below, just so you don’t have to.

9. Argentina

The first black shirt in Argentina’s history is awful.  It looks like a training top or a goalkeeper shirt.  No.

8. Japan

A little bit plain. Totally white except two grey stripes coming over the shoulder. We’ll pass.

7. Russia

Oh you want that pattern explained? Well, according to adidas it “depicts an abstract vision of Russian architecture and pays homage to the architectural landmarks and industrial cities of the country”. OK then.

6. Spain

It’s nice – the orange looks great – but a bit of a let down after they released such an amazing home kit.

5. Mexico

Inspired by 1978, the bold stripes are brilliant. Let’s hope they fare better than that tournament (three games, three defeats, 12 conceded).

4. Sweden

You can’t go wrong with a Sweden kit. You just can’t. We’re not completely sure they’ve changed kits once in the last 40 years but we’re fine with it.

3. Germany

We aren’t sure if it’s brilliant or if the colour is outright offensive? Also, two throwback kits in the same year is a bit lazy. OK, we’ve decided: it’s brilliant.

2. Colombia

Now that’s a kit. The blue is perfect and we are suckers for some diamond patters. Well done, adidas.

1. Belgium

Perfect. It’s so Belgium and it’s so Michy Batshuayi (and he knows it). The yellow is beautiful and varying the colours of the stripes is a great touch.
