Finding the best World Cup jerseys for the upcoming FIFA tournament can be challenging, but we’re here to provide the definitive rankings (which will not be controversial in any way) for the top kits. With the World Cup expanding from 32 teams to 48 squads, there are more World Cup jerseys to choose from than ever before.
This year’s World Cup jerseys are mostly represented by Nike, Adidas and Puma with a few exceptions. Be sure to check out my curated collection on my Fanatics storefront with the top World Cup jerseys and all the best new drops ahead of the FIFA tournament.
Here’s our rankings for the top World Cup jerseys.
No. 5 Germany’s Blue Jerseys (Away Kit by Adidas)
Germany’s traditional jerseys have plenty of supporters, but casual fans may prefer this new blue jersey by Adidas. It is easy to wear this jersey and not know it is Germany (this can be viewed as a good or bad thing).
As someone who is not technically a Germany fan, this kit is more my vibe. The blue Germany jersey is perfect for all those summer World Cup watch parties. Not a bad purchase for $100 on Fanatics.
No. 4 Brazil’s Yellow Jersey (Home Kit by Nike)
Those looking to make waves this summer, will go with Brazil’s new Jordan Brand collab that represents a poisonous rain forest frog. Personally, I am more of a Brazil traditionalist and prefer Nike’s classic Canary yellow edition.
If you are willing to spend a bit more, the authentic jersey may be worth the money thanks to the impressive quality ($180). Unlike the replica, it includes a unique pattern throughout the jersey which is a nod to the Brazilian flag.
If you are ballin’ on a budget this summer, the replica yellow jersey will do just fine at $100.
No. 3 Ivory Coast’s White Jersey (Away Kit by Puma)
Puma cracks the list with Ivory Coast’s new patterned white jerseys. You can’t go wrong with the orange home jerseys either with the subtle elephant pattern as well.
Both jerseys are $100. Drogba would be proud.
No. 2 USA’s ‘Waldo’ Jerseys (Home Kit by Nike)
With the United States co-hosting the World Cup, the USMNT had to make the list. After a drop off with recent United States jersey releases, Nike hit the reset button with their best release in decades.
Team USA will have two themed jerseys: stars and stripes. This new edition of the infamous “Waldo” jersey gets an upgrade, and while it is hard to tell with the photos, the fabric is first class.
For those who want to be less in-your-face ‘Merica, go with the away navy jerseys. These also look amazing in person with the star pattern throughout the kit.
No. 1 France’s Green Jerseys (Away Kit by Nike)
The first thing that comes to mind with France’s away jerseys may be mint chocolate chip ice cream, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. France paid homage to the country’s longstanding relationship with the United States by releasing a green away jersey.
The unique green jersey is a nod to France gifting the United States with the Statue of Liberty. There’s a good chance France is wearing these jerseys a few minutes away from the iconic statue in the World Cup Final.
Not only is France one of the top World Cup contenders, but these are the best jerseys of the FIFA tournament.
