With the 2018 World Cup just weeks away, fans whose national teams did not qualify are looking for a new team to support. Wearing a replica kit on match days adds to the excitement. To help you choose, we purchased size medium replica jerseys from each major brand and evaluated how they fit. Note that some World Cup kits were not yet released in the US at the time of writing; this guide will be updated as they become available.
Adidas
Countries: Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Russia, Spain, Sweden
Key Features
CLIMALITE technology wicks sweat away from the skin to keep you dry.
Fit and Feel
The jersey has a natural, form-fitting cut with a little extra space through the chest. Stitching on the outer shoulder creates a structured, angled fit that follows the contour between the shoulder and arm. The material feels very soft and comfortable against the skin.
Nike
Countries: Australia, Brazil, Croatia, England, France, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Korea
Key Features
Nike Breathe fabrics move sweat away and use highly breathable construction with DRI-FIT technology.
Fit and Feel
The fit is form-fitting and slightly snug across the chest, yet feels natural and confident. Sleeves come down at the right length and offer ideal tightness around the upper shoulder. The material has a unique, slightly tacky texture similar to a thin layer of water on the surface.
Puma
Countries: Senegal, Switzerland, Uruguay
Key Features
dryCELL moisture management draws sweat away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable.
Fit and Feel
Unlike Puma’s usual tight-fitting designs, this jersey has a very relaxed fit through the chest and stomach. The arms are cut longer with extra space, making it a good choice for players with larger biceps. The neck is cut wide and sits lower on the neck compared to other brands.
New Balance
Countries: Costa Rica, Panama
Key Features
NB Dry fabric releases moisture quickly for fast drying.
Fit and Feel
This kit has the most unique fit, style, and texturing. The material is very soft with a square pattern through the body. Heavy stitching on the sleeves and shoulders provides structure but can cause the jersey to pull when you raise your arms. The rounded neck creates a tighter fit and slightly reduces breathability.
Errea
Countries: Iceland
Key Features
Breathable double-knit fabric with mesh inserts on the sides.
Fit and Feel
No specific advanced tech is advertised, which gives this jersey the cut and feel of a casual, pub-worn kit. It is ideal for fans who want a stylish shirt to wear around town rather than for playing. The fit is relaxed across the shoulders and chest. The length is a little shorter than other kits, coming down just below the belt buckle on an average frame.
Umbro
Countries: Peru, Serbia
Key Features
Replica price with an official game jersey fit.
Fit and Feel
This jersey fits very snugly across the body. It is best suited for athletic builds looking for a true form-fitting cut. Those with a less athletic build may want to size up, though the fit may not loosen significantly. The thick seam inside the jersey where the sash crosses the body can be uncomfortable, a design choice that stands out due to the tight fit.
