Nike’s Portugal 2022 World Cup Kit
This year’s getups for Portugal, currently the No. 9 team in the FIFA World Ranking, feature Pepper Red, Gorge Green, and Sail White, with Gold Dart detailing tying everything together for what is almost certainly the last World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo.
As Nike says of the design of the 2022 Portugal World Cup jersey and associated apparel collection:
“Portugal’s 2022 kits signal a new era on the horizon for futebol português. On the home kit, Pepper Red and Gorge Green, with Gold Dart tipping, nods to the Portuguese flag while a diagonal line mimics the flag wrapped around the body. National pride is shown through the crest of the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF) and the esfera armilar, used as a patch on the back collar. The away kit uses Sail White, an off-white tone, to ensure the Portuguese club stands out in a sea of bright white kits.”
