The 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is not only a battleground for football supremacy but also a runway for jaw-dropping fashion! Let's face it, while the teams compete fiercely on the pitch, you can't help but marvel at the stunning jerseys that they're flaunting. From vibrant colors to artistic inspirations, the kits at this year's tournament are an absolute treat for the eyes.
Australia have already seen the fruits of this. According to Nike, their official kit supplier, the Matildas have already scored a remarkable victory off the pitch, outselling their male counterparts in jersey sales. Nike revealed that the Australian Women's Football Team sold more official jerseys than the men's team did during and since the Men's FIFA World Cup... and this was before a ball was even kicked for the women!
Anyway - let's dive into it. Here's our top 6 kits in no particular order, that have us all talking!

France's Home and Away Kit
So simple, yet so slick. Drawing inspiration from the classic art movement Orphism, Nike has outdone themselves with France's kits. The home shirt features a lighter shade of blue with lilac overtones, creating the impression of natural brushstrokes. Meanwhile, the white away jersey is so classy. With the iconic tricolor brushstroke style on both jerseys, France's kits are a true piece de resistance.
