Following in the same footsteps as the likes of Nike’s T90 template from 2004 and adidas’s Teamgeist collection from 2006, PUMA have released the away shirts for most of its 2022 World Cup contingent, as well as for those that didn’t qualify for the tournament. So take a look at what Ghana, Morocco, Serbia, Senegal, Switzerland and Uruguay will be wearing as their alternate strips in Qatar, as well as the other seven nations.
While brave in its attempts to break the mould and think outside the box, PUMA’s approach for its 21/22 third shirts courted a fair amount of controversy, with many calling the template approach out as lazy and unimaginative. But it hasn’t seemingly put the German brand off, with the reveal of their 2022 international away kits, which will be used in the Qatar 2022 World Cup by those that qualified, as well as the other nations that did not. The bold new design language reinterprets national motifs from football, culture, and nature, bringing them together in ways that turn each jersey into a statement piece for the respective nation and the national team. It's a similar approach to that of Nike in 2004 and adidas in 2006, unifying the nations to represent the era and yet giving each their own personal feel.
So the full line up sees Ghana, Morocco, Serbia, Senegal, Switzerland and Uruguay as the World Cup qualifying teams, and then Austria, Czech Republic, Egypt, Iceland, Italy, Ivory Coast, and Paraguay then rounding out the collection as the teams that failed to book a ticket to Qatar.
The designs see a base colour, often white, but an alternate colour for those whose home shirts are already white, joined by pops of colour, usually taken from the respective nation’s flag. The Authentic jerseys feature ULTRAWEAVE performance fabric and dryCELL sweat-wicking technology, making them the lightest and most comfortable PUMA has ever made.
Serbia
The white 2022 Serbia Away jersey features gold accents and bespoke front panel graphics to celebrate Serbia’s footballing heritage. Central to the crest is a stylized reference to the coat of arms found at the Prince Mihailo Monument in Belgrade. Established in 1882, at the founding of the kingdom of Serbia, the coat of arms is incorporated into the crest to unite the team and the fans.
