2. Croatia



Gotta love the checkers! They look even better when used as trip on Croatia's blue away shirts. No matter which jerseys the athletes are wearing, they'll play in style.

4. Germany



These jerseys have awesome contrast. The white kit looks clean and simple, but the touch of red gives the Germans a fearsome edge.

7. Spain



Adidas did a great job of creating a jersey that is not only traditional, but also intimidating! Nothing says power like the color red -- we just wish Spain was still in the game!

8. The US



America's jerseys show just the right amount of patriotism without overdoing it. Although some have commented that the players look like summer popsicles, the US sure will freeze out the competition!

10. Cameroon



These jerseys are kind of hit-or-miss for some people. The design has vivid coloring and a traditional lion crest, along with a pattern of lions. Some may think it's a bit crazy, but the kits sure look awesome on the field!
