Thanks to Darran from the JFA for the news!















this doesn’t look nice
this form-fitting template from adidas will be widespread.
the black stripes kill it it looks like you put tape on it
the black stripes look nice but the red-watheveritis looks awfull and …….. i just don’t like it
it looks alright, the russia one is unveiled the 13th im hoping it will be same template as this, im sure it will look nicer
The worst Japan shirt ever…….
That red thing at the front is absolutely useless and awful.
Just s**te one
Japan should stick to the current one.
Why those black duct tape lines?
I was happy to hear Scotland were goin to be made by Adidas, not so sure now after seeing this effort, bring back Diadora all is forgiven!
widespread, well it not been used for argentina germany france mexico… thus far
Those “tape lines” are actually TPU strips. adidas uses this technology (called PowerWeb) in its undershirt/short designs, as it is designed to improve performance through proper muscle support and posture.
It is a bit odd to see them using this in their jersey design.
its gonna look stupid when u print their names on the back with that affect on the back of the top
Don’t worry there are three versions. This is the techfit version, while there is also a formfitting version which looks like a replica but a bit tighter on the end of the sleeves, without any of the techfit “tape” you all are talking about. Then the replica which looks like a normal jersey.
Go Speed Racer..GO!!!
horror show…is that pattern for real? Why not sew in a bouquet of red and pink longstems or some sakura petals as well? This is the uniform of battle against the top clubs in the world?…wise up.
Adidas should go back to classic styles of the 1980s…keep it simple
We can only hold out hope for a decent away jersey
i like the shirt
I like it – it looks aggressive in an “imperial” sort of way.
i really like this one, actually – the red and the sublimated design in particular.
i think the power strips look HORRENDOUS though. i only saw part of the eire-france match, and it looked wretched with the numbers on the back.
germany’s don’t have them, apparently.
i have the Japan 2010 shirt. it looks just like the pictures on this site, but luckily doesn’t have the black stripes.
