Kit Fancy: Rating the Jerseys of the World Cup
By Donnie Kwak | Jun 8, 2010 | 9:40 pm | Permalink
We've already shown you the best of World Cup gear off the pitch, but now it's time to assess what the players will be wearing on the field of play. In 2010, the jersey trends are skintight shirts (adidas' TECHFIT and Puma's African kits), recycled materials (Nike's PET-bottle shirts), and even tailored fits (Umbro for England). From the heavy hitters to the Jomas and Legeas of the world (we see you, Kim Jong-il!), we've got every brand—and country—covered. Remember, we're grading the uniform based on how it looks on the players themselves, not on pot-bellied supporters. So, then, take a look at our gallery and prepare to get all kitted up...

Yo in football there is actually tradition. So it's not Retro but trying to stay true to tradition which is better than any "fancy design" to make more cash ;)

Australia - It's Golden Wattle, not 'Waddle'

Are you really going to give Italy an 3 with the tattooed musles on their shirt? It sort of makes the shirt look as if it has Skeletor on it.

what you refer to as "Pong-like graphic" on the Danish home kit, is actually 11 vertical lines, symbolising 11 great moments in Danish football history

The England away kit was designed by Aitor Throup, well worth googling!
