Iraq

Iraq is not a country strongly associated with green-and-white stripes in football, but the Iraqi game has clubs with distinct and deeply rooted visual identities. Here, the collection is represented by Naft Al-Wasat, a club tied to the country's central oil industry, whose kit brings that chromatic heritage together with the classic striped aesthetic. A modest entry for now, but one that opens a window onto a footballing culture with its own history, largely absent from the more documented corners of the archive. Green-and-white stripes serve here as a starting point for exploring less visible clubs and contexts.
