THE TEAM
Together with American Samoa, Guam and the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico is the fourth US territory in FIFA - and the most successful. Although the overseas territory has never qualified for a major tournament, the Puerto Rican national team is “enthroned” in 157th place in the FIFA world rankings, well above its siblings, who are all among the worst teams in the world.
However, they currently seem to have some talented players in their ranks. Twenty-year-old Jeremy de León – the second cousin of Arturo Vidal – was signed this year by Real Madrid Castilla, the second team of “Los Blancos”, while other players mainly play for US clubs.
THE SHIRT
After a good 10 years with the Spanish manufacturer “Joma”, Puerto Rico's 2022 national team switched to Hummel, who provided the team with some stylish designs. My favorite is certainly the classy away jersey, which you can see here.
In white, the shirt has numerous pinstripes which, due to their different thicknesses, create a star pattern that can only be seen from a distance. The collar and hem are in the three national colors and add a splash of color to the design. The jersey features a rubberized crest and Hummel logo. It was worn by Wilfredo Rivera during Puerto Rico's 8-0 victory against Anguilla, in which Rivera scored an absolute dream goal. The shirt has collected a lot of dirt and scratches!
