A return half a century in the making
Haiti last played at a World Cup in 1974 West Germany. They conceded 14 goals in three matches and went home. It has been a 52-year wait for another shot. That alone is why the 2026 Haiti kit is going to be one of the most emotional shirts at the tournament, even if it sits mid-table on our Kit Clash leaderboard.
The design
Classic royal blue with a small red accent at the collar and sleeves — a nod to the flag without being heavy-handed. The crest sits central and small, almost vintage. It feels intentionally understated because Haiti do not need to shout; the fact they are here at all is the story.
Who to watch
Duckens Nazon leads the line, Ronaldo Damus has been scoring in qualifiers, and Leverton Pierre’s goalkeeping got them through the intercontinental playoff. Few household names, but a collective that has been together for years and believes in the project.
Why you should care
This is the shirt to buy if you want a kit no one else at your World Cup watch-along will be wearing. The neutrals’ pick of the tournament. A conversation starter.
