Croatia’s red and white chequered patterned shirt is definitely one of the most unique and recognisable kits in football history. Design changes are limited, as they have only been eligible for the World Cup since 1998. 

Their away kits have always been full blue ensembles, similar to the emblematic kit worn by the  French. So the finale of this year’s World Cup was not only a record-breaking match, but also one that featured some of the most classic and unforgettable kits on the field. 

With a deep love for all things football, it is no surprise that England's kits are about as iconic as the Union Jack. The national football team’s home colours are white shirts with red accents, navy shorts and white or black socks. Occassionally, an all-white kit will make an appearance.

England's kits have had their fair share of changes; their away kits have been all blue, all grey, and this year, all red. Up until 2013, their national kit suppliers has always been English, from Umbro to Bukta and Admiral. Now, their kit supplier is Nike, an American company with whom they have a 12 year contract which is estimated to be worth £400m.

Belgium has had a various national kits throughout the years. There has been an all-white uniform; red and black; red, yellow and black; and the current all-red kit. Their away kit has predominantly been all white, but since the 2000s, their away kits have been either all black, all blue or yellow as seen at this year's World Cup. 

Compared to other national teams listed in this article, Belgium definitely has the most variety when it comes to their kit sponsors, ranging from UK brands like Umbro to American labels such as Nike. Adidas is their current kit supplier. It typically takes 12 months to officialize a kit with any sponsor, this wasn't the case with the Belgium national team. Due to time restraints,  when they signed with Adidas in 2015,  they simply put their logo onto practice kits that were still in development.  

Germany’s national football team has been one of the successful teams in FIFA World Cup History. They are the only team that has been in third place or higher in every decade there was a tournament held since the 1930s, although they weren't as lucky this year.

The team has always been faithful to German manufacturing companies, with Adidas and a subsidiary company Erima—both German brands—being the only manufacturers of their kits since 1954.

Germany’s home kit has always been a white shirt with black shorts and white socks, and is a reference to the 19th century flag of the North German State of Prussia. The new German flag has been incorporated into the old design which now features canary yellow and bright red.

Brazil’s iconic yellow, green and blue kit is not just symbolic of the country’s team, but of national pride. However, this wasn’t always their uniform.

The team kits fluctuated between blue, yellow, green, white, red, you name it—until a competition in 1953 was published in a local newspaper to create a new team kit; the result was yellow to represent the country’s raw wealth, green to represent the country’s fields and forests, and blue to represent the night sky. 

Their second kit also has a great story. In 1958 when playing against  Sweden, whose team also wears yellow, Brazil’s team (who didn’t travel with a second kit) had to last-minute purchase a set of blue shirts and sew on their badges from their home kit. Since then, the iconic blue has been their official away kit.

Since 1908, the official Argentinian kit has consistently been a white and blue striped shirt paired with black shorts and white or black socks. Yet, this year at the 2018 World Cup, they sported all black for the first time in history.

However, their consistency in aesthetics doesn't translate to their choice of suppliers. Argentina has changed its kit supplier six times since the 1930s, three times reverting back to Adidas, their current kit supplier. In between, they have had their kits manufactured by Gath & Chaves, Le Coq Sportif and Reebok.
