World Cup Jerseys 2014: Power Ranking Top 5 World Cup Kits

If you want to play your best, you have to look your best. That holds true for only five of the 32 teams participating in the 2014 World Cup. Below is a list of the top five World Cup kits that will be blessing the pitches in Brazil.

5. Japan Special Edition Jersey

Japan makes this list for one reason and one reason only: The irony surrounding the embroidered Pikachu logo on the kit. The iconic figure was named the nation's mascot for the 2014 World Cup, prompting the federation to release a special edition shirt. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your stance, the shirt was not made available for sale in North America.

4. Argentina Home Kit

Few national team kits have the timeless look of Argentina's. The white and light blue vertical stripes of La Albuiceleste remain prominent in the 2014 edition, but the added bonus of black stripes on the neck, shoulders and sleeves only accentuate the classic look.

3. Brazil Third Kit

Looking for a nice change of pace? Look no further than Brazil's alternate green jerseys. The tried and true yellow jersey of the Selecao are worthy of mention, but the subtly striped green shorts leaves this Brazilian core with a look all to their own.

2. Spain Home Kit

"Elegance with a touch of championship pedigree," should be the slogan for Spain's World Cup home jersey. The all red kit pays homage to the team's nickname, La Roja, while the gold accents bring the touch of elegance synonymous with the reigning World Cup champion's style of play.

1. France Home Kit

"Classic" and "timeless" are the only two ways to describe France's home kit for the 2014 World Cup. The totality of the kit, including the white shorts and red socks to drape the players in their nation's colors, only intensify what should be the most respected jersey in Brazil.
