The best pre-match jerseys of 2022

If every year that passes football and fashion tighten their alliance more firmly, this season there is one garment that has managed to catch the eye more than any other. Once again this year, in fact, the pre-match jersey is the item chosen by the technical sponsors to give space to colours and creativity, in a freer and less traditional way than with the kits used in official matches. The greater possibility of experimenting goes hand in hand with the widespread diffusion of these jerseys even off the pitch, which have become a cult object even in the streetwear world thanks to designs that wink at the latest trends. And so teams of all categories, in agreement with their technical sponsors, have taken advantage of this, releasing two or three pre-matches are in the first half of the season or for particular and important stages such as the Champions League. It is a trend that has also affected the national teams, who at the World Cup in Qatar presented themselves with one very imaginative model that took up the identifying colours of each national team. Among the many jerseys released, we asked you to vote, through our instagram stories, which one you thought was the best this year and here is the response.

Venezia - Kappa

It was the jersey designed by Bureau Borsche and made by Kappa for Venezia that won a clear and uncontested victory. A pre-match that came with the new logo, also designed by the German studio, and was a perfect example of the impact that the new brand identity had on merchandising, characterised by an orange-black-green chequered design with an eye-catching wave texture running through the chequered pattern where the logo stands out completely in gold. A model that conquered everything and everyone from day one, ending up sold-out in a matter of days like this year's three jerseys.

Atletico Madrid - Nike

If Atletico's first jersey was a real disappointment, the same cannot be said of the pre-match jersey also designed by Nike for the Spanish capital club. The colchoneros before each match have always presented themselves on the pitch in a red and black jersey where some of the most iconic sights of a completely unique city, famous for its many buildings in the Baroque era, have been printed.

Chelsea - Nike 

From the Spanish capital we move on to London, because the one designed by Nike for Chelsea is your third choice. This one, like the others, echoes the club's social colours, playing with various shades of blue and the logo of the London club broken up into pieces to create a practically perfect pattern.

Everton - Hummel

For the last position we remain in England, precisely in Liverpool Everton side because Hummel has created a pre-match shirt that will go down in history. With its vintage-style geometric patterns reminiscent of those used by adidas during the 1990s, the Danish brand has managed to surprise everyone once again, creating a pre-match shirt that is extremely simple but of great impact.
