The FIFA World Cup takes place every four years, and each tournament brings a new set of national team jerseys. The jerseys are symbols of national identity, culture and fan affiliation. Introducing new kits for every World Cup creates a sense of nostalgia, allowing fans to associate specific designs with memorable moments. The colors, patterns, and design elements often reflect a country’s flag, history, and cultural heritage.
