Haiti's Banned World Cup Kit Sparks Debate Over Revolutionary Imagery

FIFA ordered Haiti to change its World Cup jersey with a revolutionary scene, sparking debate on whether the banned kit could become a collector's item. The Haitian Football Federation had designed the shirt to honor a historic moment from the Haitian Revolution for the 2026 tournament.

FIFA, however, cited regulations against political symbols and demanded a redesign. This intervention may inadvertently turn the original kit into a rare piece coveted by memorabilia enthusiasts.

Designers and collectors predict that the banned jersey could fetch high prices at future auctions.
