FIFA has rejected Haiti's original jersey design for the upcoming World Cup match on June 13. The decision, announced by Saeta, Haiti's apparel manufacturer, noted that certain visual elements could be misinterpreted under FIFA's regulations. Haiti had previously worn this now-banned design during two matches. Saeta mentioned that a depiction related to the 1803 Bataille de Vertières was likely a point of contention. A redesigned jersey, compliant with FIFA’s equipment rules, has been prepared, with defender Jean-Kévin Duverne shown in the new kit on social media.
