World Cup 2022 – After a relatively successful period with Joachim Low that produced a title in 2014, Germany had the Qatar World Cup to kickstart the era of Hansi Flick, who hoped to spread his domestic success to the national side. His wards played with a home shirt notable for its wide central vertical stripe in black and a predominantly black away shirt carrying a maroon all-over graphic. The design was a polygonal representation of the D in Deutschland, applied with a faded and static effect for more dynamism.
World Cup 2018 – Heartbreak ensued as the defending champions exited in the group stage, becoming the 6th overall and the 3rd consecutive nation since 2010 Italy to do so. The black chest graphic on the white home represented a stylised depiction of the waving of the German flag, while the tealish away kit took inspiration from the popular EQT collection of the ’90s, and added pinstripes applications and abstract solid-filled interconected diamond patterns for an active look.
World Cup 2014 – Germany reached the promise land in 2014, after consecutive third place finishes in 2006 and 2010.

The broad chevron chest band with three distinct shades of red provided a memorable detail to this cup-winning German home kit. The change shirt at this time was a broadly hooped shirt in black and red.
World Cup 2010 – One of the talking points for Germany in 2010 was the disallowed goal from England’s Frank Lampard despite the ball clearly going past the line after bouncing off the post. Many in the German camp thought of the decision as going full circle from the controversial 1966 England goal (a similar setup but with the ball clearly not crossing the line) that essentially gave momentum to the nation to finish of Germany en route to the title. In both Euro 2008 (finals) and World Cup 2010 (semifinals), Germany lost to a Spanish side considered as the country’s golden generation. For this World Cup, the home shirt had, running the entire length of the shirt on the left hand side, three pinstripes coloured after the German flag. The black secondary shirt had sufficiently spaced narrow tonal vertical stripes in addition to the pinstriped red trims on the left hand side.
World Cup 2006 – Expectations were low for the Germans in 2006 despite being the host, but did put up a good showing that led to a third place finish.

World Cup 1990 – The 1990 kits provided the inspiration for the design of the 2018 kits. The angular representation of the waving of the German flag was more pronounced in this cup-winning home kit, having broader stripings that were coloured after the national flag. Also becoming popular was the predominantly green with white spraypaint-like fade alternate kit. The colourway resulted to a 3D effect-a chevron formation of interconnected bricks.
