World Cup 2018 kit power rankings: Part one

LET'S GO!

64. Australia, away





Not very bonza
Oh dear. It's just... it's not good is it?The colour seems to have been borrowed from their cricketers' baggy green caps, although unlike them a bit of sandpaper would probably do it some good.

63. Spain, away





No, gracias
Adidas kits are almost universally winners at this tournament, but we're just not having this one.The combination of grey and orange puts you in mind of that awful Chelsea away kit in the mid-90s and, like that, this just looks odd.

62. Russia, home





Didn't fancy something different, lads?
The hosts could have gone for something daring, special and memorable for their time in the spotlight in the summer.
Instead they've gone for this.

61. Japan, away





Nice casual lean though
Having gone in on the Spain away one then we're going to have to do the same for Japan's change strip, even though it doesn't have those weird orange bits.Still, though. Not good.

60. Egypt, away





Shoulder sling not pictured
The German world for copying is "kopieren", by the way.

59. Switzerland, home





Stop me if you've seen this one before
Switzerland have absolutely, definitely, 100 per cent worn this in a tournament before, right?Come on lads.

58. Switzerland, away



*rubs eyes*
Yeah, this too.

57. Sweden, home





No Zlatan, same kit
And Sweden have been having a word with Switzerland, by the looks of it.

56. Tunisia, home





*tumbleweed*
You don't see Uhlsport on the international stage very often.There's probably a reason for that.

55. Serbia, home





This is the under-17s, in case you were concerned that they were taking a really, really young squad
It's not that different to a few kits you'll see further down, but it's the lack of pattern on the front which has done for this one.It's just a bit bland.

54. Saudi Arabia, away





An attempt at being one with the grass?
It's green.It's very green.
It's a bit too green, in truth.
