All Nike World Cup Kits Will Have Off-Centered Front Numbers
Nov 18, 2017, by Pat
We are back with more info on Nike's World Cup kits. Whereas Adidas and Puma's jersey launches for the biggest tournament in football are already semi complete, the Swoosh is keeping things on hold until March 2018.
This doesn't mean we can't bring you a few details on the Nike 2018 World Cup jerseys right now. After it was initially expected that they would generally be more unique and feature bold graphic prints, the first leaks have pointed at more understated designs in line with the last few years.
However, there'll be a key difference in the Swoosh's World Cup shirts and it's the front number positioning. For the first time ever, all of Nike's international jerseys will see those numbers placed off-center, on the right side below the brand logo, to be exact.
This style used to be quite popular between 2006 and 2012, especially at Adidas and Puma, although a few Nike kits had it, too. This time around, all of the brands kits, from England and France to Brazil and Portugal will have it, a rather bold move.
What do you think of this move? Do you prefer it over traditional, centered numbers? Drop us a line below, and check out the World Cup Kit Overview for all the latest leaks and releases.

FIFA Announces First-Ever World Cup Championship Rings for 2026 Winners
In a historic first for international football, FIFA has announced that the winners of the 2026 World Cup will be awarded bespoke championship rings in addition to the iconic trophy and gold medals. Taking direct inspiration from established American sporting traditions like those seen in the NBA, NFL, and MLB, the governing body is bringing the concept of the victory ring to the global game.
Following the 2026 final between Spain and Argentina at the New York New Jersey Stadium, the winning team's captain and head coach will immediately receive temporary rings to commemorate the occasion during the post-match celebrations.
A total of exactly 2,026 individually numbered rings will be produced to mark the year of the tournament. Of this limited-edition collection, 30 rings are strictly reserved for the victorious squad and its staff. These official team rings will undergo custom production after the final to ensure a perfect fit for each player and staff member before being formally presented at a later date.
The design of the championship rings features the FIFA World Cup trophy proudly displayed on one side. The opposite side of the ring will be customized to reflect the crest and visual identity of the winning nation, ensuring each piece serves as a unique tribute to their achievement.
Football fans will also have the opportunity to own a piece of this newly established tradition. The remaining 1,996 rings from the collection will be made available for purchase worldwide as an officially licensed product. Each fan ring will be assigned a unique number, custom-fitted, and delivered with its own official certificate of authenticity.
