Haiti changed its national soccer kit days before its World Cup opener against Scotland after FIFA banned a depiction of a war scene on the shirts. The alteration came after FIFA ruled the original design violated its guidelines on political or military imagery.
The governing body issued the ban directly to the Haitian federation, which then ordered new shirts produced under a compressed timeline.
The revised kit will be worn when Haiti plays Scotland in the tournament's opening match for the Caribbean side. No further details on the replacement design were released by either FIFA or the Haitian federation.
