As 2023 draws to a close, it's time to celebrate the best kits of the year. Today marks the commencement of the prestigious accolade for the absolute best football kit of 2023.
Best Football Kit of 2023
We meticulously curated a selection of 25 kits for the title of the best football kit of 2023. Our list embraces football giants and smaller clubs, comprehensively representing the diverse football kit designs that graced the year.
Adidas dominated in 2023 - no other brand produced as many popular kits. However, there have been many great kits released in 2023, and we would not be surprised to see an unexpected winner like the Philippines 2023 home kit.
The two kits garnering the highest votes will advance to the grand final
We included every kit that won a Kit of the Month award in 2023, 11 in total. Why not 12? This is because the voting for the best football kit of December 2023 will only be started in early 2024. We, of course, also included kits that were released in December, like the Al-Nassr 23-24 third kit.
The two kits garnering the highest votes will advance to the grand final, ensuring a fair and decisive outcome.
Which football kit stands out as the pinnacle of design in 2023? Share your choice in the comments below and cast your vote above.
Luka Modrić Wears Special 'Legacy' and 'Golden Ball' Patches at 2026 World Cup
During Croatia's match at the 2026 World Cup, Luka Modrić took to the pitch wearing a jersey featuring two unique FIFA sleeve patches. The midfielder's shirt included a special FIFA Legacy patch, introduced for the 2026 tournament to honor players who have appeared in five or more World Cups. Modrić is participating in his fifth World Cup, joining an elite group of players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer, Yuto Nagatomo, and Guillermo Ochoa, who are also eligible to wear the Legacy insignia.
In addition to the Legacy patch, Modrić's kit featured a specific badge commemorating his achievement as the winner of the Golden Ball at the 2018 World Cup. This patch highlights his individual accolade from the tournament in Russia. The combination of these two special patches makes Modrić's 2026 World Cup jersey a standout piece, reflecting his long-standing presence and success on the international stage.

During the 2026 World Cup, Harry Kane has been spotted wearing a special FIFA Golden Boot winner patch on the right sleeve of his England shirt. The patch commemorates his achievement as the top scorer of the 2018 World Cup, where he netted six goals. Kane is one of a select few players at the tournament to receive this individual honor, alongside other past Golden Boot winners such as Kylian Mbappe and James Rodriguez.
In addition to Kane's unique individual patch, the entire England squad is sporting a gold tournament sleeve patch. This team-wide detail marks their historic 1966 World Cup victory.
Cristiano Ronaldo Wears Special FIFA Legacy Patch at 2026 World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo debuted a special FIFA Legacy sleeve patch on his Portugal kit during the 2026 World Cup, marking his historic sixth tournament appearance from 2006 to 2026.
Cristiano's Legacy badge features his signature SIUU pose.
The Legacy patch is an exclusive FIFA honor introduced to recognize players who have been selected for five or more World Cup squads.

Adidas Teases Predator 1994 to 2026 World Cup Connection
Adidas has officially teased a connection between the original 1994 Predator boot and the upcoming 2026 World Cup. In a recent social media update, the brand highlighted the legacy of the iconic Predator silo, which was initially launched for the 1994 tournament hosted in the USA.
With the 2026 World Cup set to be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada, Adidas is celebrating this 32-year journey as a full-circle moment for the boot. The brand noted that the Predator was made for the 1994 World Cup, and the tournament made the boot a legend. By stating that the road to glory continues, Adidas strongly suggests the upcoming release of special edition boots or a dedicated 2026 World Cup Predator model that pays homage to the 1994 original.
The teaser was accompanied by images showcasing the evolution of the Predator boot from its debut to its modern iteration. This announcement builds on recent Predator re-releases and limited editions, generating anticipation for what Adidas has planned for the 2026 tournament.
