World Cup Patterns

Celebrating all 32 teams competing in this years World Cup in Russia, I thought it would be a great idea to illustrate and take a closer look at some of the stunning patterns and designs involved with each team's home, away and pre-match shirts.

The 2018 World Cup sees some kit manufacturers take inspiration from memorable designs of the past. These shirt were each created by studying the footballing histories of the different nations, focusing on memorable patterns worn in the most successful years, and applying this to modern techniques to create some quite breathtaking patterns.
