Morocco World Cup 2022 Home

Right seeing this in a sale tempted me to get it.  I am some what surprised that you can still find this in the right size on sale considering it must be seen as a special shirt for Morocco having achieved a historic feat wearing it. After all it is also a design that I kind of quite like about Morocco based on their 1998 shirt that I have vivid memories of and somewhat a distinctive design.  It certainly reminds of it and after the legendary achievements of the Moroccan team wearing it in 2022, it would be a sample to cherish before it goes out of circulation.  It will probably become another classic retro in years to come.

Very simple shirt with the band on the chest.  Some people have said the Puma logo spoils it but it would look more weird in my opinion if it were to be on the right hand side of the green band instead.  I think the red and green contrast somewhat gives the design a distinct look.  The collar is also good colour being matching green. Just a quite badass looking design to it. 

The crest is embroidered so safe to wash.

The sleeve's cuff also cool.  The material in these shirts are OK not brilliant and not the best Puma have had, a bit thick and feels a bit heavy not in my liking. 

No surprises from the back and very nice shirt in a way, probably the best in Puma's current African collection.

 

Morocco World Cup 2022 Away

This was on sale and a pick up for the World Cup 2022 Morocco away shirt.  I think it was worn in the group stages before they went onto the semis where they worn their legendary home red with green patch shirt.  That I think is really cool and I wouldn't mind picking one of those up before they go out of circulation.

Well this one is OK with Puma's latest design and build.  They are transferring their crest and logo onto the shirt and there will be a question of longevity on these as I can imagine after 100 washes, they will peel off, lets wait and see.  I think the Morocco and Egypt home shirt is one of the few in their African series that still uses embroidery instead of transfer, I have seen the other shirts like Senegal, Ghana that all have this ridiculous transfer and hideous designs.  This Morocco shirt IMO is one of the better designs in a bad bunch.  But still they could have done better.  For the African teams Puma have gone downhill ever since the 2010s and 15s. 

Crest itself is cool.  See the transfer technique.

The design is OK, but Puma really screwed it with sticking the country's abbreviation onto it, its unnecessary and cheeses it.

 The cuff itself is nice and one of the better touches in this series, I think had they done this for the Senegal, Ghana away shirts, it would have been better too.

Material itself is decent, although feels a bit thick and sticky after wearing a bit and the shirt itself has an OK shape to it.  Not particularly slim athletic fit anymore but I think that is out of fashion and the loose fit is now back.

Not too many surprises from the bad, overall an OK shirt.  May be one for the cupboard's collection to see if it becomes a classic in the future.
