With almost two months to go until the opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup at Al-Bayt Stadium in Qatar on November 20, the 32 teams continue to unveil the kits they will wear on the pitch.
Already introductions from Adidas and Puma, the latter causing a bit of a storm with its insistence on sticking to one overarching concept for all its alternate jerseys.
But can Nike do better? The giant sportswear brand announced home and away uniforms for many national teams, including big teams like France, Brazil, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United States.
With the designs shown, there are certainly some instant hits among the bunch.
Uniforms are released this week, with a brief breakdown of each design and a sensible 'hit' or 'fail' rating.
This loses markings for the shield in the centre, making everything okay.
Dyed and stonewashed. This is what has everyone so irritated. It isn't perfect.
Sleek and minimalist, but too simple to inspire a particularly emotional response either way. A combination of navy blue and gold trim gives it a slightly regal air, but the reigning World Cup champions deserve more.
Standard France away jerseys are present, thanks to a white jersey with blue trim and a hint of tricolour splashed here and there. On closer examination, the jersey also sports an all-over print motivated by tradition.
'Toile de Jouy' fabric with selected imagery, including the Gallic rooster symbol, the Arc de Triomphe and the national training centre at Clairefontaine.
The white on the away kits ensure the Portuguese stand out in a sea of bright white kits.
Although every inch is the traditional Brazilian uniform, the latest incarnation of the famous yellow shirt comes adorned with an unusual print inspired by the fur of the jaguar, the country's unofficial national animal.
The shade of orange used for Holland's latest World Cup kit has been toned down to create a burnished, almost amber colour, although the dyed tiger stripe print only serves to make the shirt appear permanently wrinkled.
A light blue, black and red roster kit encapsulates precisely none of the nation's rich World Cup heritage. The type of football jersey that instantly fades from memory.
Nothing revolutionary is happening here, but Croatia still looks like Croatia, and that's a good thing.
