The world cup blog in the online edition of the American magazine The New Republic described Peru’s soccer team uniform as the best world cup uniform of all time.
"Was this the best World Cup uniform of all time?” Miles Kohrman posed in his blog"If there was a trophy for dressing well, Peru would walk away with it."

Besides the traditional World Cup awards, the World Cup blog “Goal Posts” has decided to grant another award, for the best World Cup uniforms of all time.

“Peru's red sash is a thing of beauty. Really, just look at it. Simple, elegant, timeless, regal, polished, sashed,” Kohrman noted.

Likewise, the blog’s followers can check out two photos of the national team; one at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, and a more recent photograph featuring Claudio Pizarro, Jefferson Farfan, among other soccer players.

The said design was first used at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, after three different variations of the uniform in the early 1930s.
