World Cup 2022 kits have all been released, ahead of the winter tournament.

With Women's Euro 2022 shirts taking priority in the summer, many of the men's tops were dripfed in the weeks and months up to the competition itself. It's made it a busy time for football shirts, too – Premier League kits and European kits are also all out now, while retro kits are still as popular as ever.

With Nike shirts, Adidas shirts, Puma shirts and others all dropping, here's everything we know so far – are any of these among the best kits of 2022?

A little too safe, perhaps?

After Argentina won the Copa America with camouflage-patterned stripes, Adidas have reworked the Albaceleste's jersey with a more traditional look for the World Cup in Qatar. 

There are two thinner sky-blue stripes on the back of this one, as the Argentina flag appears just above the players' names.

It's going to be divisive, isn't it?

Should Argentina have a good tournament, their purple, bunsen burner away top will go down as a future classic. Look us in the eye and tell us that you haven't changed your mind on 90s kits in the past decade…

After black and navy change strips in recent years, this one is something a little different for Lionel Messi and co., but plenty won't be sold on it.

Not enough touches of green for our liking

"The 2022 kit evokes Australia’s unique ecosystems," Nike says. "Through University Gold, Tour Yellow and Green Noise, the home kit conjures the rugged, sandy landscape of the Outback and the rich wetlands and forests."

It's certainly on the yellower side of gold, with a lighter green paired with the shimmery base of the top. Given how Australia often have a very dark green trim, this new home shirt is a welcome change.

Could do with a little more going on

Nike label the colour of the Aussie away shirt as "Obsidian" and it's perhaps the closest you can have to the midpoint between the two traditional change strip shades. In some lights it looks dark green, in others, blue.

"The away kit is a homage to the Australian coastlines and teeming ocean," the American brand states. "Obsidian and Green Glow represent the marine life and reefs and signal the deep connection between Australians and coastal life."

While the fire will divide fans – as much as Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid seems to have done – you have to say that Adidas have handled it classily. It's a geometric pattern designed to look like fire rather than a massive photographic print. Now that would look naff. 

For a side that call themselves the Red Devils, the new Belgium home shirt makes sense on a literal basis. And at least it's not boring. But that doesn't make it a winner in everyone's eyes.

Belgium have had a fair few interesting away kits of late. The 2018 World Cup saw the Red Devils done a bright yellow for their away shirt, which was dulled down for this year's Women's Euros. At Euro 2022, Belgium's change strip was a dull beige. 

This new Belgium away shirt is pristine and clear though, something that the nation haven't had for a while. And in pairing that super clean base, Adidas have done something a little different: there's a multicoloured effect that looks so stylish and fresh. It's lovely.

This is an excellent kit, with lovely collar and well-designed flourishes throughout.

The Brazil away shirt is the traditional blue but has green jaguar-inspired sleeves, to carry on the home shirt pattern. It's not going to be unanimously popular, this one…

Still, it's something a little bit different and it's well-designed at least. You certainly can't ignore it…

Canadian football is set for its biggest moment since the 1980s, as those polite North Americans are appearing at only their second-ever World Cup… yet according to Nike, Canada are on a "different cycle" to everyone else and won't be getting new shirts for the World Cup.

It's a shame, really. At least it's not a horrible shirt.

There are clear differences but this new Croatia home shirt has more white in it than perhaps Nike have ever gone, recalling the look of the France '98 vintage that Davor Suker top-scored in and led Croatia to the semi-finals wearing. Despite the potential for looking quite silly, this shirt actually doesn't – and it's a fine update on an icon.

The back, as you can imagine omits a few more squares, crossing the bridge nicely for how to leave a plain back for the numbers without ruining the design. Then there's the central badge and Swoosh – which makes sense, here.

Everything feels a little mid-noughties about it

Croatia are back in blue after donning black and grey for the Euros and purple at the World Cup in 2018, when they finished runners-up to France. Before 2016, Croatian away shirts were royal blue with red and white checkers incorporated, while since, they've all had checkers of darker shades of black, grey and blue.

This is the most daring Croatia away shirt, with a faded check pattern that looks like it's whizzing offing the shoulder. It looks like nothing we've ever seen – for Croatia or anyone else. Some will love it, others… won't.

That gradient is going to get some grief, isn't it?

Nike have spun the brand new England home shirt back to 1996, bringing the sky blue and royal blue touches from England's home Euros top. We've got a lot of respect for that – it's just the gradient that may grate. 

But in defence of the fade, it's about time the American manufacturer delivered something a little less safe. It's a nice colour, it doesn't make the shirt look too loud or garish – and yes it may look a little like a training kit now but it's not going to when you've actually seen England play in this one.

The new Nike England away shirt is as close as you can get to bringing out a shirt that's unanimously popular. Euro 2020's blue change strip was daring but dividing, while the 2018 World Cup shirt was pretty enough but not particularly head-turning. This one is both subtle and stunning, using the same blues from the home effort and delivering something a kit that feels genuinely different to anything the England side has had in years. 

The cues from 1990 are clear. The collar is delightful, the navy is well-picked, too. While a deep crimson – such as Liverpool's home shirt – would have been an easy win, this is a lighter red, more like 1966's vintage. That could have looked a bit naff: it looks beautiful.

France are no strangers to navy blue, of course. Didier Deschamps' men lifted their second world title in the Moscow rain wearing a navy that looked almost black in the downpour – while last summer, the French shirt remained that darker blue with an oh-so-Gallic set of horizontal lines.

Nike have kept with the programme with this new France home shirt. The French women's side were given the most gorgeous, horticulturally-patterned top for their Euro 2022 jaunt to the semi-finals but the men's shirts this year are plainer, with gold returning for the numbers, logos and flourishes.

Well, this one might be the best French away shirt for quite some time.

Now this is how to brighten up a plain white tee.

After the frankly stunning teal top of four years ago, Germany have another black and red change strip, with this one recalling the iconic hooped top of 2014 that Die Mannschaft wore when they smashed Brazil 7-1. It doesn't have too much fanfare – it's very pretty though.

Yeah, the German brand are not afraid to reinvent with club clients getting shirts with "MAN CITY" or "BVB 09" in thick lettering in a band across the middle of the chest last season. The World Cup brings with it a brand new twist – boxes for the number to sit in. 

So what happens if you buy this and don't want a number on it?

But now they've gone and dropped another, days before the tournament. We can't say we love it too much more to be honest.

It's an absolute triumph. Japan aren't favoured to go far in this tournament but as with previous tops, they've captured imagination with their new home shirt. We're big fans. 

For something that looks quite brash at first glance, this one is actually rather understated, though. The top's base pattern is subtler than meets the eye and when the players don this in the Middle Eastern sun, you won't even notice the design from your TV.

Mexico have been on a journey recently when it comes to home shirts. There was a black and grey hooped top with Aztec patterns, before a black and pink top was released – and they've even had time to release a new badge.

Well, Mexico are back in green in 2022, with an eagle-inspired pattern adorning the top of the new home shirt. It just wouldn't be a World Cup without a bold Mexican shirt, now would it? This one is sure to divide less opinion than some of their past efforts.

This isn't the first time that the Mexican side have drawn on their Aztec history with a football shirt: the 90s were packed with them. Well, Adi have gone even bigger and bolder this time. 

The away shirt for the Mexicans this time is exactly the same as the 2018 effort colourwise – a sort of off-white with burnt red flourishes – only with gorgeous swirly graphics all over. It's subtle enough that the players will just look like they're wearing white from a distance but this thing looks absolutely magnificent up close. The shorts, too, are superb – a sort of deep, de-saturated green. 10/10, Adidas.

Just like some of Louis van Gaal's greatest concoctions, the new Netherlands home shirt actually looks great. It doesn't look too much like Virgil van Dijk and co. are literally wearing the hide of an animal – instead, the lighter touches of orange give this one a softer pattern than Euro 2020's sharp, geometric effort. 

"A dancing swirl of Orange Peel and Laser Orange evokes the mane of a lion, the historic symbol of the Low Countries, and represents the fluidity of the Total Football tactical system," Nike claims.

Nothing particularly striking about it

This particular shade of blue veers on purple, recalling the Euro 2000 away top – perhaps 2014's away shirt was a reference too: the one that Robin van Persie wore when he flung himself like a salmon to score against Spain. There's black integrated into the Netherlands away shirt, with a sort of reddish-orange used for the logos. 

It feels quintessentially Dutch, too. Don't ask us why: it's not a copy of any old Oranje change kit and yet if you were to swap the crest for England's or France's, we'd know that it should have been used for the Netherlands.

The new Portugal home shirt breaks with all tradition. The first thing it recalls is the Monaco shirt, with a diagonal block of colour – yes, in exactly the same corner, too. It's more green than has ever been on a Selecao shirt. So much so that it might enforce kit clashes. 

The tone of the red has lightened from the last two efforts, while the gold is now a more yellow tone. But still, this one has divided opinion online.

Not the most exciting design Nike have come up with…

Only once in the 2010s did Portugal ever wear a white top with navy trim – it was far more popular about 20 years ago, now – but now they've returned to that base with the new Portugal away shirt. Well, sort of… it's not actually white white.

"The away kit uses Sail White, an off-white tone, to ensure the Portuguese stands out in a sea of bright white kits," Nike say, splitting the finest of hairs. We can assure you, guys, that this doesn't "stand out" enough for Portugal to wear against the England home shirt.

Saudi Arabia's last away kit was a watershed moment for the nation's football shirts: a deep red, with leaves adorning in a pretty pattern. Well, those leaves have returned for the home effort. It's not perfect but it beats the plain white tees that they've been donning for years.

That lush coral-red has become instantly synonymous with the nation – and the new South Korea home shirt is another beautiful strip in a long line of classics.

The "tiger stripes" of the last away shirt are back – this time in a subtle graphic on the shoulders, while there's no white at all. Korea have gone red and black, leaning in on that Red Devils nickname.

A bit too "crazy crayon" for some

Their last away shirt was a much-beloved black/white tiger-stripe effort and the new South Korea away top is in a similar vein: it's black, with jagged stripes all over in various colours. It's just as loud, just as fun and actually, it might have even topped that classic.

It's going to be a favourite with many. Nike are great at introducing big, bold designs like these and once you've caught a gander of Son Heung-min strutting his stuff in this, you're going to fall for it.

The new Spain home shirt is modest – and for that, Adidas have done well. In a sea of silly graphics at this year's tournament, La Roja are understated and going back to basics. A little like how the country has had to rebuild, a decade after than platinum generation of tiki-takarrers.

Still, was it too much to ask for just one point of focus? Usually kits this plain are reserved for those not elite enough to have their own personalised graphics. We're not asking for a bruised banana, here, guys…

Design isn't for everyone

The best compliment you can pay the Spain away shirt is that the mix of blues doesn't make this one look too loud at all. Especially when you factor in the red and yellow stripes on the sleeve – we love a national flag represented in the Adidas stripes – along with that newly reworked crest.

While the German manufacturer went for a home top that would obviously please everyone, they may have worried that the away would be more marmite. We're struggling to see why, though. Who wouldn't like this one?

The US have once more got an exclusive at international level that PSG have domestically – yes, the Swooshes are on the sleeve of the new United States home shirt, rather than on the body of the kit itself. Strangely, the Swoosh is mirrored on the right sleeve. This is the first time that the brand have ever done this internationally in football. 

"The 2022 USA collection serves as a symbol of national pride and draws inspiration from the United States’ diverse and storied sport legacy," Nike says. "The iconic U.S. uniform design cues include bold stripes, an enlarged center [sic] crest akin to basketball jerseys, double Swooshes on the sleeves reminiscent of those used on American football jerseys, the unique shoulder and sleeve cut-and-sew construction and pattern of a hockey jersey, and timeless block lettering."

Actually, it looks really nice. This is one of the more memorable US away shirts.

The Uruguay home kit follows the same template as other Puma efforts at the World Cup. It's a slightly brighter blue and has a gold Puma logo.

The home tops that the German brand have released have looked more vintage this year – and this is a drastic upgrade from the 2018 home shirt from Uruguay. Just let's not get into a debate about how many stars should be on this top…

That zig-zag theme continues with the away, while the green from the crest is perfectly matched to the round collar.

It's exactly what Welsh fans would have been hoping from for this one, right?
