I was inspired to create this thread for this glorious looking effort by Adidas for Germany.

Magnificent work.

Most of Adidas' WC stuff is beautiful.

Russia and Colombia especially.

New Scotland one is dull.

New Germany World Cup jacket is something too.Based on the 1994 shirt.

I doubt that these Germany designs are real. The shirt maybe (and I do like it), but the jacket? No way. The 94 World Cup was a disappointment from a German point of view (bowed out against Bulgaria, and Effenberg was sent home early for giving the finger to the supporters), so why would anyone come up with a design that reminds the fans of a World Cup they'd rather forget?

Who are bigger masochists than Germans?

Well... they are real. So I fail to see the issue.

They've won a world cup since with players that were barely old to remember that whopper jersey.

Well... we don't know for sure whether they are real. It's claimed that these designs have been leaked, that's all.

Did you like this one Sideways?

Let's just say it's very ... unique.

Just trust me on this one would ya.

The Germany shirt is now officially confirmed:

I still have my doubts about the jacket though.

[BonnieShels]

Why?

Weirdest doubts I ever did see on here.

Spain.

The purple allegedly has conservatives and monarchists up in arms as they feel it is a nod to the old Spanish Republic flag.

Had they any issues in 1994?

Anything that annoys Francoists and Monarchist can only be a good thing.

[BonnieShels]

I saw this and thought... will sidewayspasser believe it's real?

[sidewayspasser]

That design's a bit mental, but I wouldn't rule it out completely as a fan shirt.

Omfgjcaatih!!!

You probably shouldn't let your cat walk on your keyboard.

I know we've all seen more than enough of this, but Denmark away is lovely.

Hard to beat a good Hummel number

I know that this is for International kits, but the Huddersfield Town away kit (second choice) surely beats them all:
