Welcome to the sixth episode of the Kit Nerd Corner podcast. Kristin is back, and the World Cup is nigh, so we rated all the World Cup kits and then talked about them.

In our sixth episode, we focused entirely on the upcoming World Cup. No recent finds, no one buying anything (though of course we did buy things, we just didn’t have time to brag about them). Just the home kits this episode – stay tuned for the next episode featuring all the away kits, and maybe a third kit thrown in there.

We talked about a lot of the shirts, but not all 32 of them. And we talked about the Denmark / hummel statement on Qatar, and overall what we think of the offerings for this tournament.
