"With 42 of the 48 qualifiers now confirmed for Friday's 2026 FIFA World Cup draw, we're starting to see a cavalcade of kits released in preparation for finals which will be staged in Canada, Mexico and the United States next summer. Hot on the heels of last month's bulk release by Adidas, Puma is the latest kit manufacturer to unveil a batch of jerseys that the national teams they supply will be wearing next year."
"The unifying design concept is "the love of the shirt," with Puma highlighting the national pride felt among players and fans when they pull on their colors for the big occasion. We've rifled through the new home kits on offer and cast a sartorial eye over each of them, listed here in alphabetical order, and assigned them all a ranking out of 10."
Forty-two of the 48 World Cup qualifiers are confirmed ahead of the 2026 draw, with finals hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States next summer. Puma released new home shirts for its European national teams: Austria, Czechia, Iceland, Portugal and Switzerland. The collection centers on a 'love of the shirt' theme and emphasizes national pride among players and fans. Austria's jersey shifts to red and black, using a basic template that showcases the crest and received a 5/10 rating. Czechia's home kit features a blood-red base, dark blue woven bands, embroidered patterns and a single button-up collar nodding to Euro 1996. The release follows a recent Adidas bulk drop and the kits are being evaluated and ranked.
