Someone has designed a World Cup jersey for Wakanda, and it is the most stylish kit we’ve ever seen

Maximum levels of want.

There have been some really nice jerseys on display at this year’s World Cup, and depending on who you ask, some might say Germany has the best, or Nigeria, or someone else entirely… but we think they’ll all agree that while it doesn’t actually exist, this new jersey for Wakanda would take that title.

Back in February, artist Mark Yesilevskiy got so caught up in the love for the release of Black Panther in cinemas, and knowing that the World Cup was inbound, he went ahead and designed this absolutely incredible looking jersey and kit for T’Challa’s home nation.

Complete with the same metallic necklace that the king wears, as well as a red badge for the nation, it really is a sight to behold.

In the last week, that kit was getting a lot of attention, and Yesilevskiy took it upon himself to design the Wakandan away kit, which is based on the design of the country’s special forces, the Dora Milaje.

Check out the detailing in that second image.

Seriously, can somebody please make these a reality? Because we would pay A LOT of money to get our hands on them!
