Is That Italy’s New Away Kit Or The Landing Page Of A Website?

Hey! Are you totally infatuated with Major League Soccer’s collection of generic white jerseys? Well get ready to put some major hurt on your bank account because Puma’s new line of international away kits aren’t just colorlessly nonspecific, they also give you the impression of having landed on some unaffectedly chill website for a consulting firm. 

I remember when Italy used to wear kits so fashion-forward that they genuinely looked like a collection of demigods that’d fallen from Mount Vesuvius.

Now they look like they’re here to fix your desktop.

And while it’s sacrilegious to hoist such garments on the Azzurri, things don’t look any better for the Czech Republic or Switzerland.
