Chile Copa America 2016 Kits Released
Mar 17, 2016, by Pat
- New Kits Unveiled: Nike released the new Chile home and away jerseys for the 2016 Copa America, featuring traditional colors and modern designs.
- Design Details: The home kit is primarily red with blue side stripes, while the away kit is white with red and blue accents.
- Historical Firsts: For the first time, the Chile home kit has red shorts and blue socks, while the away kit has white shorts and red socks.
Nike and the Chilean national team today unveiled the all-new Nike Chile home and away jerseys for Copa America Centenario at the brand's 2016 Innovation Summit in New York City. Both Chile 2016 kits combine traditional with modern elements, not based on Nike's all-new Vapor kit with AeroSwift technology, but the previous Dri-Fit standard.
Chile won its very first major title on home soil last summer in the 2015 Copa America. While Puma made the 2015 Copa America Chile kits, Nike became the Chile kit producer immediately afterwards, releasing the first Nike Chile kits the next month.
Chile 2016 Copa America Kit
This is the new Chile home shirt.
The new Chile Copa America kit boasts a clean design in red, blue and white that is sure to become a fans' favorite. Broadly based on the template of the Paris Saint-Germain 15-16 third kit, the new Chile shirt is red for the most part, with a blue line running down on each side. A constructed, tonal v-collar with blue piping around the rear is used for the Nike Chile Copa America Centenario shirt.
Completing the set of colors inspired by the Chilean flag and the Chile federation logo, the Nike Swoosh, sitting proudly on the right chest of the new Chile jersey, is colored in white.
For the first time in history, the Chile 2016 home kit shorts are red, while the socks are blue. This interesting style is inspired by Nike's 2016 national team kit collection that includes similar combinations for the likes of England, France and Portugal.
Chile 2016 Away Kit

Also based on the Nike Vapor template is the Chile 2016 away shirt. Employing the traditional Chile away kit color, white, the Chile 2016 away kit combines it with red, used for piping along the back of the collar and blue, used for the Nike Swoosh and a line that runs below each arm and down both sides of the shirt.
In an unusual move, Nike combines the white Chile away shirt with white shorts and red socks, probably a first in Chile kit history but in line with the brand's other 2016 national team kits.

Cristiano Ronaldo Switches Mercurial Boots at Halftime Against Colombia

Despite the pre-match hype surrounding the limited-edition tribute boots, Ronaldo only wore the 'Gold Scorpion' edition for the opening 45 minutes of the game. Following the halftime break, he was seen switching back to the standard 'Breakout' colorway of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11, likely opting for the familiar comfort of his regular match boots.

Following the match, the brand posted an image of Messi wearing Argentina's 2026 away shirt with the number 19, paying tribute to the 19 World Cup goals he has scored across six tournament appearances.

Tanjong Pagar United Reveal Controversial New AI Logo
Following a recent change in club management, Singapore Premier League side Tanjong Pagar United have introduced a new club crest for the 2026-27 season. First spotted in an AFC licensing document earlier this month, the updated emblem replaces the club's traditional hand-drawn badge with a modernized design that has quickly drawn criticism from fans for looking overly generic and being AI-generated (it probably was).
The new management took charge on June 1, but there is currently no official confirmation on whether the team's kit colors will also be altered to complement the newly introduced visual identity.
