Every National Team Get White Kit From Puma
Sep 27, 2022, by Chris
Puma have not been very creative with their 2022 national team kits.
Puma 2022 National Teams - Each of the 12 Teams Get White Kit
Switzerland's kit is officially colored "Harbor Mist/Nimbus Cloud".
Each national team received two new kits from Puma for 2022. And one thing stands out at first glance - each nation received a white shirt from Puma.
Puma teams won't have problems with it comes to kit clashes
A closer look reveals that 10 of the white Puma 2022 national kits are away jerseys, while two are home shirts. Ghana and Senegal traditionally wear white as their first choice, so they got "dark-colored" away kits.
There is one big advantage with Puma and their white kits. There should be no problems when it comes to kit clashes against most opponenets.
So why did Puma decide to have white kits for every nation? One reason is surely FIFA's policy that oblige every team to have a light and a dark kit. There is no lighter color than white - it is possibly FIFA's ideal.
Portugal's away kit is 'Sail'
Adidas and Nike, meanwhile, did not release white kits for every nation and both tried to have some variation for the "light kits". Adidas did practically not release a plain white kit for any nation and gave Spain a light blue jersey instead of a white one.
Nike also have much more variation than Puma. South Korea, for example, only have a red and a black kit. The red of South Korea's 2022 home kit certainly is considered as "Light", even though it is surely suboptimal.

Annapolis Blues Let Season Members Choose 2027 Home Kit From 8 Puma Options
American side Annapolis Blues FC have launched a member vote to select their official home kit for the 2027 campaign. The club, which competes in both USL League Two and the USL W League, has continued its tradition of community-driven design decisions by unveiling eight distinct Puma concepts for their supporters to choose from.
The eight proposals showcase a wide range of looks while keeping the Maryland club's signature royal blue palette, circular blue crab crest, and adaptic chest sponsorship. The options range from modern graphic looks—including a fading chest burst, jagged side accents, and quartered two-tone blocks—to classic aesthetics featuring a navy diagonal sash with gold detailing, a bold white chevron, horizontal bands, and refined pinstripes complete with a polo collar.
Voting is exclusively open to 2027 Season Membership Holders, who received their voting ballots directly by email. In addition to deciding the official matchwear for both the men's and women's squads, members will also receive the winning home jersey alongside a commemorative scarf as part of their membership benefits.
Hartlepool United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hartlepool United and technical partner Meyba have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Directly inspired by the club's archives, the shirt serves as a modern reimagining of Pools' memorable 1995-96 away strip, combining unmistakable mid-nineties aesthetics with contemporary sportswear performance.
The Meyba Hartlepool United 26-27 third jersey features a striking split design. Its upper half is clean white, layered with bold angular diagonal stripes in red and pale blue that flow down into a solid red lower section detailed with subtle pale blue vertical pinstripes. The top is finished with a retro black polo-style collar that incorporates red trim and a functional zip neck. Additional bespoke touches include an embroidered ship's wheel crest, "Est 1908" placed beneath the outer back collar, and the rallying cry "NEVER SAY DIE" printed inside the collar.
Completing the nostalgic ensemble, local partner Camerons Brewery returns as the primary front-of-shirt sponsor, directly echoing the brewery's Strongarm branding seen on the original 1995-96 design. Matching red shorts and red socks round off the full kit.
Canberra United 26-27 Home and Away Kits Released
Ninja A-League Women side Canberra United has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, crafted by Australian sportswear brand Konqa. The partnership between the club and the Melbourne-based manufacturer enters its second consecutive campaign after Konqa first took over United's kit production last year.
The Canberra United 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's traditional bright green hue. It showcases a modern sublimated design featuring tonal diagonal brush strokes across the torso, paired with neat dark green and white detailing along the crew collar and cuffs. Gym chain Club Lime continues as the primary sponsor on the chest, positioned below a centrally placed Konqa logo and a raised silicone club crest topped with two championship stars.
Contrasting the vibrant home shirt, the 26-27 away jersey switches to a deep forest green base. It carries the same sharp graphic patterning sublimated throughout the fabric, finished with crisp white and bright lime trims around the neckline and sleeves. Supported by University of Canberra across the front, the new collection provides the capital club with a distinctive and cohesive visual identity for the upcoming campaign.
