Japan 2026 Away Kit
This picture shows the Japan 2026 away shirt, made by Adidas.
The Adidas Japan 2026 away jersey is predominantly off-white, combined with black plus multicolor detailing. What makes the Adidas Japan 2026 World Cup away kit is the colorful detailing - the shirt comes with differently colored fading pinstripes.
There are exactly 12 differently colored pinstripes - 11 of them represent a player, while the central red stripe represents the Japanese fans.
Adidas uses the Trefoil logo, as for all other 2026 World Cup away jerseys, plus a monochromatic version of the JFA crest.
Indeed, the design aesthetic evokes memories of baseball shirts, a popular sport in Japan.
