Adidas revealed the Home and Away federation kits created for the Argentinian, German, Japanese, Mexican, and Spanish national teams to be worn for the FIFA World Cup 2022.
The sportswear giant treated every federation kit as a canvas for creativity, and an opportunity to capture and express the spirit of each nation.
Each design is influenced by key cultural touchpoints ranging from the ancient civilizations and Mixtec art of Mexico celebrated in the nation’s away jersey to the origami crow inspiring Japan’s home kit.
Dynamic color spectrums represent each unique national identity, with progressive graphics inspired by the future.
According to Jürgen Rank, Senior Design Director Football at Adidas, foremost for them is to create kits that equip athletes with performance-led apparel that helps them unlock their highest level of play.
He added that when they design national team kits for tournaments as big as the FIFA World Cup, they always keep in mind that they will become a part of legendary footballing history.
All the kits are made using 100 percent recycled polyester as part of their commitment to helping end plastic waste. The kits contain 50 percent Parley Ocean Plastic.
