Asian Cup 2019: Jerseys of all 24 nations - Which one looks the best?

It is just hours for the kickoff as AFC Asian Cup 2019 is at our doorstep. The second oldest football continental championship in the world will be having its biggest stage offered this time at UAE. Asian Cup, coming to UAE for the second time after 1996 will be a neck-to-neck competition with all the 24 competing teams ready for a tough tussle.

With everything for the big event all prepared, we take a look at what our favourite players will wear when they chase their Asian dreams in UAE.

Group A

#1 UAE

UAE will once again be wearing the white plain jerseys with red stripes along the shoulders. The presence of red colour amongst the full white makes the kit look decent. The hosts have also launched an away kit with a mixture of green and black. The team managed by Alberto Zaccheroni will be aiming for a good result, just like their kits.

#2 India

This time, India have made slight differences in the age-old blue kits they will be wearing. Under the new sponsors Six5Six, Blue Tigers will have some presence of orange colours on their arms and shoulders. The unique stripes make it appealing. India have also launched an away kit with the blue replaced by an all-white.

#3 Thailand

Thailand will be continuing with the dark blue jerseys they have been using for some time now. Unlike competitors India, the Thai colours are are a lot more dark with a slight touch of red print. Although plain, Thailand kits can be judged as one of the best in the tournament.

#4 Bahrain

Unlike most other groups, Bahrain will be the only team in Group A with a red jersey. Bahrain will use a red t-shirt with few yellow lines running along the shoulders. Otherwise, the Bahrain designers have completed a simple work with a plain red kit.

Group B

#1 Australia

The champions have not brought any change to the jersey which they have been using recently. Socceroos have their all-time favourite yellow colours with few zigzag lines running through the arms. The champions will be hoping to keep their performances the same as their kits.

#2 Syria

Syria is one team that haven't let go off their red love. The team will take the field this edition with a red t-shirt, but a lot lesser presence of the white. This makes the kits more reddish. The white presence will be seen only at the neck and arm collars.

#3 Palestine

Palestine will be yet another team in the competition with a red kit. Their jerseys look very similar to that of group mates - Syria. Palestine too will have slight touches of white in their pure red colours.

#4 Jordan

Jordan will be having a complete white jersey with patches of red on the collar and sides. The kits look very identical to those of a number of other teams. Jordan have been using the white kits for years and will be continuing with the same.

Group C

#1 Korea Republic

Another team with another variant of red is the Korea Republic. The team uses a complete red jersey with no other colour on their uppers. However, they have used blue bottoms. South Korea was seen in the same kits at the 2018 World Cup.

#2 China

China is yet another competitor in Group C with a red kit. Though China have minute darkness to their kits, it looks too identical with the Korea Republic. The custom golden lines along their uppers keep the jersey different.

#3 Kyrgyz Republic

Kyrgyz Republic will be the third team in Group C to use the colour red for their jerseys. Like the other two, Kyrgyz too have a different variant of red, similar to the one on the national flag. There are no much additions to the solo colour on the uppers, making the work look so easy.

#4 Philippines

Philippines stay different from the other team in the group - with a white home jersey. The team have a pure white t-shirt with grey limpid lines running across the chest. They will have two red lines close to their collar, like a very late addition to the design.

Group D

#1 Iran

Iran will be resorting to a white colour as the home kit and red for the away based fixtures. Iran's whites look a lot better than most others - with a red line covering the collar. The same colour is present along the round of the arms.

#2 Iraq

Iraq have opted for a white jersey this time. Iraq's t-shirt is white with green lines running through the shoulders onto the arms. It looks a lot like Iran's kit, but the green touch has kept it different.

#3 Vietnam

Vietnam have one of those well-designed jerseys in the championship, although they too have depended on red. The patches of darkness in the whole kit makes it something to watch. The jersey has been made with a greater proportion of a darker red.

#4 Yemen

Yemen have used an all-red jersey with no other spottable colours on the uppers. Similar to Vietnam, but a bit brighter, the Yemenese kits look decent. The staff have kept the designs simple with the bottom too, depending on pure white.

Group E

#1 DPR Korea

The country from East Asia has been rather simple or lazy with designing the kits from the past. North Korea have continued with its existing jersey, a pure white with a bending red line beneath the arms. The partial view of red from the front, makes it look an ordinary white t-shirt.

#2 Lebanon

There might not be an end to the red colours at the Asian Cup, as Lebanon have also adopted the colour. The sleeve cuff and collar will bear white when the whole rest of the body takes the red from the Lebanese flag.

#3 Qatar

Qatar have opted for their national colours once again - Maroon. They have kept the designs simple but can boast of being the only team with a maroon kit. Having something else from white and red, the Qatar jersey seems good on the field.

#4 Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia tells a very familiar story with the team colours. The team is yet another white with very minute touches of green. Just like many other whites in the continental cup, Saudi Arabia kit too doesn't have much of a description.

Group F

#1 Japan

Japan is one among those very few teams who have done some work with their jerseys. Though similar to that of Thailand, Japan have a dark blue t-shirt with white dots throughout the front.

#2 Oman

Oman have an all-red kit with slight white on the handcuffs and collar. With not much detailing or additions, the jersey is simple and just like many other participating teams. Oman's kits remain very identical to those of Lebanon.

#3 Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan have replicated the colours of their national flag onto its jersey once again. The dark green t-shirts and shorts have two parallel white runs crossing the chest. The dark green keeps them unique in the group.

#4 Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is another white-loving nation in the UAE edition of the Asian Cup. However, the white, along with some fair share of blue patterns, makes it different from the ordinary whites used. Uzbekistan might use either a plain white with blue lines on the shoulders or blue patterns over the right front.
