World Cup Jerseys: 5 interesting facts about the Crest

Finally, a wait of 4 years is almost over.

The 2018 World Cup is fast approaching. Around the world, many people will stop working or study to watch their favorite team wearing their team’s jersey with pride while playing soccer.

However, there are some really interesting facts about World Cup Jerseys. Read below about these 5 interesting facts.

Brazil

Brazil to date is the most successful nation winning the world cup 5 times since its inception in 1930. The team will wear a darker shade of yellow during the tournament. The jersey features sleeves with a zig-zag pattern and the collar with a green and blue trim. The shade itself is reminiscent of the jerseys worn by the team for the 1970 world cup.

Argentina

The two-time winners will be keen to win after losing in 2014 to Germany in Brazil. Argentina’s team will wear the iconic blue and white striped shirt, dotted with subtle laurel leaves which is an important symbol from the country’s coat of arms. The new uniforms will have three sky blue stripes on the front and back with a classic white ribbed V-neck and white sleeves. The soccer badge features the Argentinean flag and two stars. The letters AFA stand for “Asociacion del Futbol Argentina” and also commemorates the AFA’s 125 year anniversary.

Germany

No nation has played more World Cup matches than Germany - 106 in total. They have scored more goals (124) and conceded (121) goals during the tournament. The classic black and white look is back, with dropped shoulder cut lines highlighting a gold world cup winner badge inside the collar. Their badge features four stars with a circular design highlighting the nation’s famous “Federal Eagle”. The three stripes across the bottom of the circle are black, red and yellow.  The badge will receive a monochromatic treatment for this year’s World Cup.

England

England really does know how to make a simple design look smart. Tradition governs England’s updated badge as the three lions and ten roses make another show. The 1966 cup winners have dominated in white giving the team an understated elegance. However, without any text above the crest and the removal of the commemorative stripe from the below, this new version of the badge is simple.

Portugal

The Euro 2016 win allows Portugal to use a dash of gold in their new jerseys. Portugal’s trademark is deep red, with brighter sleeves and green design in the collar. There is a white strip bearing tiny crosses that gives it a burst of color across the body.
