Spain and Colombia Show No Respect to Their Colors
Mar 23, 2024, by Chris
- Match Details: Spain and Colombia played a soccer match in London, a neutral location, due to a marketing agreement.
- Kit Choices: Both teams wore their away kits, with Spain wearing yellow (Colombia's primary color) and Colombia wearing black and orange, instead of their traditional colors.
- Marketing Focus: The match was heavily influenced by marketing, resulting in a game that lacked respect for traditional team colors and created an away vs away experience.
Spain faced Colombia in London today. The two teams did not only play in a third country (as part of a marketing agreement with event company Stage Front) but also in unfitting kits.
Spain Wears Yellow Away Kit, While Colombia Wears Black Away Kit
Instead of playing in the classic red, Spain chose to wear the away kit. Meanwhile, Colombia, which wears yellow as the first choice, switched to its black and orange away kit.
It was not only an away vs away match at an away stadium, but even more unfitting as Spain wore "Colombia's colors". Zero tradition.
Zero tradition, 100% marketing
Spain will face Brazil in the Santiago Bernabéu next week. We will surely then see Spain playing in red, and Brazil, hopefully, in yellow.
What do you think of both nations wearing their away kits? Let us know in the comments below.

2026 World Cup Final Kits Prediction
Vietnamese kit experts @jerseystory_vn have carried out their prediction on match colors for the upcoming 2026 World Cup Final, where they suggest there would be no surprises in both teams' choices.
Spain as the designated "home team" will very likely return to their classic red home kit, paired with blue shorts and socks as usual. Therefore, Argentina would be able to stick to the lucky home kit variation of white and sky blue shirt, white shorts and white socks.
This is the tie where we believe the kit choices would not differ no matter who is to choose first.
