Haiti are in their first World Cup finals since 1974
Haiti have been forced to change their kit design just four days before their World Cup opener against Scotland after their shirt. depicting a war scene, failed to comply with Fifa rules.
An illustration of the Battle of Vertieres in 1803. which secured Haiti's independence, with the country's flag had been embedded on the shirts worn in both of their pre-tournament friendlies.
However. equipment regulations set out by the world governing body prohibits the use of any "political, religious, or personal messages or slogans" on kit.
In a statement, Colombian manufacturer Saeta, said its original design "was a tribute to the men. women who contribute every day to Haiti's future" and "was not intended as a political statement".
It added: "Fifa determined that certain visual elements could be interpreted differently under its equipment regulations. ultimately requested modifications to the design.
"While this interpretation differed from our intention, Saeta respected the process and implemented the final requirements communicated by Fifa."
Haiti begin their first World Cup campaign in 52 years against Scotland at Boston Stadium. Foxborough at 02:00 BST on Sunday.
