Yesterday, Thursday, July 6, 2023, the new Adidas AS Roma 2023-2024 home kit was released. It has some remarkable similarities to one of Adidas' 2022 World Cup kits and a few other Adidas 23-24 kits, as spotted by many kit connoisseurs.
Roma's kit is one of many with that template in the 23-24 season
Adidas Spain 2022 World Cup Home Kit vs AS Roma 23-24 Home Kit
Obviously, the new AS Roma 23-24 home kit shares the basic colors of the Spain jersey - red and yellow. But that is not what we are talking about, as it has always been like that. What makes it interesting is the design, the details, and the template.
The Adidas Roma 23-24 home kit and Spain 2022 World Cup home kit have the exact same collar construction and similar line detailing. However, not all of this is specific to Roma x Spain.
Several Adidas national teams have used the same collar for their 2022 kits, including Argentina (away), Colombia (home), Japan (away), Germany (away), and a few more. For the 2023-2024 season, Benfica and Tigres have a collar that follows the approach of the Roma one.
This Adidas 2022-23 v-collar allows for a great variety. Only the collar of Spain and Roma have these stripe detailing, while the others look very different visually.
Adidas had three templates for the 2022 World Cup - all are also used for the 23-24 season
People who have taken a closer look Adidas' 2022 World Cup kits know that they are three main templates used for every bespoke kit. One has that remarkable v-collar, one has a round neck with round stripe detailing, and the last has an overlapping round collar.

Adidas 2022 & 2023-2024 Template #2 - Round Collar With Round Stripe Detailing
Adidas 2022 & 2023-2024 Template #3 - Overlapping Round Collar
For 2024 and the 2024 national team kits, there will be a new streamlined collar design to be used by many, if not all, Adidas 2024 national team kits. However, the Adidas 2024 kit collar is not as remarkable as this year's v-collar.
