Unlike most other Adidas 2018 World Cup jerseys, which are very closely inspired by specific classics from the 1980s or 90s, the Japan 2018 home shirt features a more generic graphic print that does not derive from any particular jersey the team wore in the past, but instead was announced to be inspired by traditional samurai armor.

The print, which covers only the front of the new Adidas Japan 2018 jersey, consists of dark and light blue stripes. The collar of the Japan 2018 home kit is the same one used on the new Sweden jersey, while the 3 Stripes appear on the shoulders.

Slight darker shorts and socks in the same color as the shirt complete the Adidas Japan 2018 World Cup kit.
