World's worst national team aims to inspire by giving every San Marino newborn a jersey

When we cover the San Marino national team here at The18, it's usually to report on players breaking down in tears after securing 0-0 draws with Gibraltar. 

The squad has attracted a global following by virtue of being the worst international team on the planet — San Marino sits dead last (211th) in the FIFA Rankings with an all time record of 194 matches played, one win, eight draws and 185 defeats with a goal difference of negative 770.

Detrás de la sobredosis de sponsors hay un jersey del Necaxa en tributo a Don Ramón

El Necaxa reveló su tercer jersey para la temporada 2022-23 y sorprendió a seguidores y aficionados neutrales con la linda intención de rendir tributo a Don Ramón, el legendario personaje del Chavo del 8 interpretado por el no menos icónico actor Ramón Valdés.

La playera tiene un diseño simple y en el que se estampan una serie de frases clásicas del personaje que alimentan la nostalgia. Sin embargo, el diseño no convence a todos, debido a una serie de factores, pero principalmente por el abusivo número de sponsors que suele manchar las camisetas de la Liga MX.

I see people hating them, but these 6 new Liga MX jerseys are works of art

Liga MX Clausura 2023 starts in less than a month and some teams are already presenting their jerseys for the tournament. Among those clubs are the current champion Pachuca, as well as Atlas, León, Querétaro, Santos Laguna and Xolos.

All six are sponsored by the Mexican company Charly Futbol which decided to present a unified collection inspired by the traditional nahual and tonas figures created by Oaxacan artisans from the well-known Jacobo and María Ángeles workshop.

From Canada to the top: Here is our World Cup jersey ranking

With all the World Cup jerseys finally out in the wild, it's time to create a ranking with the best and worst-dressed teams in the tournament. 

In general terms, there is consensus on naming adidas as the brand with the best designs for the event, while Nike and Puma didn't seem to have tuned in with the fans' wishes. 

I'll be honest, some collections have grown on me since their launching – France and England, to name two – but others are not moving the needle. 

Sorry, USMNT.

La razón por la que México no usaría su playera de visitante en Catar 2022

Las equipaciones de México para el Mundial de Catar son una belleza.

Para muchos aficionados, este set de jerseys de la selección de cara a la Copa del Mundo 2022 son de lo mejor que ha sacado el tricolor en los últimos años.

Gran sector de la afición mexicana está satisfecha con el regreso de la verde y en especial la playera blanca de visita – una vestimenta que poco a poco se ha convertido en un fan-favorite de los Incondicionales.

Mexican team stamps photo of Instagram influencer on their new jersey

Every year, soccer teams around the world present the jerseys they'll use throughout the season. The designs vary from authentic art pieces to boring, generic templates that brands try to elevate with a beautifully written but meaningless press releases. 

It's all in an effort to squeeze as much money as possible from their fans' pockets. 

Barcelona will wear Drake's OVO owl on their jersey against Real Madrid – Here is why

Barcelona's kits will look different in El Clasico against Real Madrid this Sunday. Instead of featuring the logo of their current commercial sponsor Spotify, they'll switch to the famous OVO owl from singer Drake. 

Why Barcelona has an owl on their jersey?

Confusing, isn't it? To be clear, Barcelona hasn't thrown away their multimillion, lever-pulling deal with Spotify. In fact, the idea of adorning the blaugrana jerseys with the rapper branding came from the very own music streaming service to celebrate the artist's success on the platform. 

Denmark’s World Cup kit designs are a powerful anti-Qatar protest

Hummel, the designer for Denmark’s World Cup kits, released the Danish jerseys on Wednesday with a message to host nation Qatar. Hummel announced that the kits they designed are in memory of the thousands of migrant workers who died building Qatar’s World Cup infrastructure.

"While we support the Danish national team all the way, this shouldn't be confused with support for a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives,” Hummel’s statement said.
