A new app can help tell football fans whether a replica kit is a fake, as the Daily Star revealed this week.
But even some of the genuine ones from World Cup history might have put you off buying them!
Here James Moore recalls a top 10 of the worst fashion fails in the tournament’s history…
1. Alphabet soup : In 1930 the first ever World Cup was held in Uruguay. Bolivia made the bizarre decision that their strips would spell out ‘Viva Uruguay’, with each top having a different letter. They didn’t win a match or even score a goal.
2. Brace yourself . At the 1982 World Cup held in Spain, Belgium turned up in a strip that had weird yellow stripes down the red top and across the white shorts that made it look as if they were all wearing braces.
3. Tartan barmy: At the 1990 tournament in Italy, Scotland wore a questionable change strip with yellow and purply blue hoops. It was quickly ditched after they lost 1-0 to Costa Rica.
4. Stars in your eyes: The last time the World Cup was staged in the US, in 1994, the home side turned out in a dodgy, stone-washed-denim coloured shirt emblazoned with huge stars.
5. Off the money : It was certainly a tournament to forget from a fashion standpoint, with Nigeria taking to the pitch in a home shirt that looked weirdly as if it was made up of a series of dollar bills.
6.You can keeper it : Flamboyant Mexican goalie Jorge Campos is the first on the team sheet for fashion faux pas.
At the 1994 World Cup he sported a set of self-designed fluorescent zig zag jerseys that made you wish you’d been watching the action in black and white.
6. Art attack! Four years later, in France, it was the rest of the Mexican team who took to the pitch in a puzzling outfit. The green top featured wild Aztec style motifs.
7. Flaming heck : At the same World Cup Japanese goalkeeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi donned a lurid black, gold and red jersey with flames. It didn’t stop them crashing and burning in the group stage.
8. Blue it : England’s home shirt for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was branded one of the worst in the Three Lions history, with many fans hating its unusual blue fade on the shoulders of the white jersey.
9. Dating disaster : Time should surely have been called on Switzerland’s 2022 World Cup away kit, which sported numbers in a box resembling the style of a phone app calendar.
10. Web woe? Ghana’s 2026 World Cup home shirt has raised eyebrows with its design inspired by Kwaku Ananse, a spidery trickster from West African folklore. It looks a bit like a child has gone crazy with a pack of crayons.
