As we’re approaching kickoff for the winter’s World Cup in Qatar, the participating national team jerseys are finally starting the unveiling process.
Monday, in particular, was not a great day for the Puma-sponsored national teams.
On the same day that Adidas unveiled a full collection of stylish World Cup jerseys, Puma unveiled kits that seemingly took 10 minutes to design. If you thought the U.S. men’s national team’s leaked World Cup jerseys were bad, take comfort in knowing that at least the USMNT won’t have *the worst* jerseys in Qatar.
That title will instead belong to every single nation rocking Puma kits.

Just … yikes.
Now, these are the away Puma jerseys for the World Cup, so the home sets are at least slightly less cookie-cutter templates. But man, Puma didn’t even try with these away jerseys. Every single one followed roughly the same template, and Switzerland is basically going to take the field in a “Hello, my name is” sticker.
Fans understandably crushed Puma were these away kits. You almost feel sorry that national teams even have to wear them — they’re so bad.
