With Umbro supplying, Guatemala and El Salvador are looking better than ever

Guaranteed to be among the top jerseys at the Gold Cup.
March 28, 2023

The USMNT vs. El Salvador match in the CONCACAF Nations League on Monday night yielded two moments of beauty: (1) Ricardo Pepi's filthy game-winner and (2) the Umbro away kits that La Selecta wore at Exploria Stadium.

Umbro is making inroads in the region by adding both El Salvador and Guatemala to their eclectic stable of teams (ranging from West Ham to Santos to Ethiopia), and the Central American nations are now among the regions best-outfitted with a stunning lineup of home, away and prematch jerseys supplied by the Double Diamond.

The El Salvador home kit is blue with a graphic pattern that's meant to appear like bolts of electricity. The simple "ES" also works well while the Salvadoran Football Federation emblem is located on the back of the neck. 

The away kit is a beautiful homage to the nation's links to Mayan culture. 

And that goes for the prematch shirt as well.

Guatemala's kit has always been synonymous with the sash, and Umbro elevates the look on both the home and away jerseys with graphics also inspired by Mayan culture and traditional huipil garments. 

They've got a really nice prematch top too. 

Another great feature of these jerseys is that they're all retailing for $70 on Umbro's official website while the prematch shirts are $55. 

You could buy all three looks for one nation at roughly the same price as a signle authentic MLS custom jersey.
