Haiti alter World Cup uniforms following FIFA pushback
PORT-AU-PRINCE: Haiti World Cup uniform manufacturer Saeta Sports has altered the Caribbean nation's home, away and third jerseys three days prior to kickoff of their first World Cup match in response to concerns from FIFA that visual imagery on the shirt could be interpreted as a political message. The original designs from the Colombian manufacturer included imagery that appeared to show soldiers carrying the Polish national flag, presumably a tribute to Polish Legionnaires who defected from Napoleon's French army to aid the Haitians during the Haitian Revolution from 1802-04. The revised tops shown in FIFA's official team portraits have the same collar and sleeve patterns but with solid colors beneath them rather than the imagery at the bottom of the shirts.
