Kuwait National Football Team Kit
Kuwait’s traditional colors are blue and white: blue kits are for home and white for away games. The blue sea and sky are important in Kuwait because they show people’s connection to pearl hunting, as well as the vastness of the universe. Kuwait’s official kit supplier is currently the sports company Errea. Kuwait wore the blue jerseys at the 1980 AFC Asian Cup and the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
