20. Sweden
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
Outside of the classic Canarinho yellow of Brazil, there are not many other countries in the World Cup donning a yellow and blue kit. Sweden launched its Adidas uniforms prematurely during the UEFA World Cup playoffs against Italy because a ticket to Russia was never a sure thing for the Ibrahimovic-less Swedes. Now they head to Russia with one of the sweetest-looking uniforms of the bunch.
19. Australia

The yellow tops with the shoulder patterns look great. Wish they had gone with green shorts instead of a monochromatic look. You can probably blame FIFA for that. The dark green and highlighter yellow away kit is nice, but I wish they had kept the same yellow from the home kit into the away uniform.
18. Russia
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
The World Cup hosts will open the tournament June 14 against Saudi Arabia with these bright red kits. Although the Russian national team has made red its permanent home jersey color since 2006 (white was the predominant color from 1992-2005), the thick white stripes on the shoulders in this year's home kit pay homage to the Soviet Union teams from the 80s. Only thing missing here to complete the full Soviet look is "CCCP" written across the chest.
17. South Korea
NikeKit maker: Nike
The home kit is so simple that it actually works in its favor. The flag-like pattern on the white away kit is also a nice touch.
16. Senegal
Kit maker: Puma
Nicknamed the Lions of Teranga, the Senegalese national team will stroll into Russia in style this summer. Both kits feature a huge overlay pattern of a lion. I kind of wish they rolled with the away kits for most matches because the lion looks so cool in a non-white top.
15. Iceland

The first-timers will debut wearing a blue top with red trimming on the sleeves.The away kit featured a predominantly white top with the same blue and red trimming on the shoulders. Bonus points for featuring a third kit in red.
14. Peru
Kit maker: Umbro
Peru is in the World Cup for the first time since 1982, which was near the end of Teofilo Cubillas' prime. What better way to make a triumphant comeback into the most prestigious soccer competition on the planet than these gorgeous unis from Umbro. The vintage red sash and the gold trimming on the shoulders really make this kit an instant classic.
13. Uruguay
Getty ImagesKit maker: Puma
Two-time World Cup winners Uruguay will head to Russia with a sleek light blue (celeste) shirt with black trimming. The front will feature a transparent print of the Sun of May, which is one of the prominent symbols of the Uruguayan flag. A classic look for one of the most traditional national teams in the world of soccer.
12. England
NikeKit maker: Nike
This is the second World Cup that Nike has outfitted the Three Lions. It's a classic kit that doesn't need much glitz and glamour to please. The dark red cross over the chest of the red away kit is a really solid touch by the folks at Nike. The jury is still out on the numbers under the manufacture logo on the right side of the player's chest.
11. Japan
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
Leave it to the Japanese national team to come up with some really slick uniforms for this summer's tournament. The dark and light-blue striped pattern on the front of the shirt is a nod to the traditional samurai armor. The V-neck and small Japanese flag above the JFA crest is also a nice touch.
10. Colombia
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
Juan Cuadrado is sporting Colombia's home jersey, which is an homage to the golden era of soccer for Los Cafeteros -- specifically the 1990 World Cup squad that featured the wonderawful bleached, curly locks of Carlos Valderrama. El Pibe would be proud of Colombia's kits.
9. Germany
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
The defending World Cup champs will head to Russia with a familiar look with the chevron pattern across the chest. This look pays tribute to the 1990 squad that won it all in penalty kicks against Argentina in Italy. The major difference between this year's shirt is that the chevron pattern is black and in different shades of gray as opposed to the colors of the German flag. Also notable: The gold World Cup winners badge in the center of the jersey (between the manufacture's logo and the DFB crest).
8. Portugal
NikeKit maker: Nike
Earlier under the England critique, I said the jury is still out on the numbers not being centered on the chest. The gold numbers are amazing in this Portugal shirt, regardless of where the kit numbers are located. It really pops out with the red. I didn't hate on Portugal's mint green away kit from Euro 2016, but these white tops are just as clean. My only gripe is that it'd be nice to see them incorporate green shorts for both kits.
7. Croatia
NikeKit maker: Nike
There are very few teams that have such a distinct pattern as Croatia, which is inspired by the coat of arms on its flag. They stormed into the scene in 1998 with a third-place finish in France with red and white checkerboard pattern across the entire shirt, paired with blue shorts. Here's hoping that Nike (and FIFA) allow Croatia to mix and match the home and away kits so that they can use the dark blue shorts on the red and white checkerboard home shirt.
6. Spain
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
The 2010 winners will look stylish in this year's World Cup with this throwback tribute to the jerseys worn in 1994. Major difference in these kits is that there are no collars and the blue trimming is slightly lighter (it almost looks purple, which caused some controversy). Spain reached the quarterfinals in 1994 -- it was one of its best finishes prior to winning it all in South Africa 16 years later. It's safe to say that it's championship or bust for La Furia Roja this time around.
5. France
Nike/Getty ImagesKit maker: Nike
The dark blue top with the royal blue sound wave-like patterns running across the shoulder sleeves is what makes this uniform great. The red socks, which aren't pictured above, is the cherry on top of this home kit sundae. As for the away kit, the predominantly white shirt with the confetti-like blue and red horizontal patterns really make this one of the best secondary uniforms of the tournament.
4. Argentina
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
This might be Lionel Messi's last chance at capturing that ever-elusive World Cup title, and if the Albiceleste manage to do that, they'll be doing so in style. The home jersey features three sky-blue vertical stripes paired with white sleeves. That's as clean as it gets.
3. Brazil
Getty ImagesKit maker: Nike
The canary yellow used by Brazil is recognized across the entire globe as one of the most iconic uniforms in soccer. It's crazy to think that there was a time where Brazil used to wear white and blue instead of yellow. Had it not been for the Maracanazo (Portuguese: Maracanaço, roughly translated as "The Maracanã Blow") in the 1950 final against Uruguay, we may have never seen the Selecao in yellow.
2. Belgium
AdidasKit maker: Adidas
You might not be used to seeing the argyle pattern on a jersey, but this is a nod to Belgium's 1984 Euro team. That team failed to make it out of the group stage. Let's hope the same doesn't happen to Belgium this time around. They face Panama, Tunisia and England in June.
1. Nigeria
NikeKit maker: Nike
How could this not be No. 1 on our list? The home kit gained so much popularity that it sold out minutes after it was launched. The Super Eagles' home kit is inspired by the 1994 kit manufactured by Nike, which features a black and white wing pattern on the shoulder sleeves. The green used by Nike in 1994 was a little darker, and this year's fauxback unis actually look better with lime green. No doubt they'll be the best-dressed bunch in Russia
