The main jersey is in the traditional green color, showing the image of the Quetzalcoatl God, there are also feathers and the body of a snake that symbolize the duality of human nature that characterizes pre-Hispanic culture.
While the second jersey is a red pattern on the white jersey, which will also be worn together with green pants and burgundy socks (dark burgundy).
2. Germany
Inspired by the jersey in the mid-1908s, Germany used black and white as the main colors in the main jersey. The black line is in the middle from the neck down between the whites.
“The new home jersey looks to encapsulate the spirit of the team,” the German Football Association said.
Meanwhile, the second jersey combines black and red with a modern design.
“I really like the new home jersey,” said Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry. “There is a real harmony in the color combinations, and it will be an honor to play in this shirt for Germany at the World Cup.”
3. Japan
Japan always grabs attention with the way they introduce new jerseys, which also attracts the attention of anime (Japanese cartoon) lovers. This year Japan also used two manga series (Japanese comics), Blue Lock and Giant Killing, to introduce the new jersey.
The main jersey is blue in color with origami inspiration, paired with white shorts and blue socks. While the second jersey is white with black pants and white socks.
4. Spain
The dark red color still dominates the colors on the main jersey of La Furia Roja aka the Spanish national team, according to the colors of the Spanish flag.
