SOLD OUT: Adidas and Nike Did Not Produce Enough 2026 World Cup Kits
- Widespread Kit Shortages: Both Adidas and Nike are facing significant stock shortages of 2026 World Cup national team kits across their online stores, struggling to meet the high fan demand.
- Nike's Inventory Challenges: Nike has major stock issues for kits of key federations like the USMNT and Brazil, with authentic and replica jerseys largely unavailable in adult sizes.
- Adidas's Supply Problems: Adidas is experiencing similar retail challenges, with authentic Mexico kits and jerseys for smaller teams like Curacao nearly completely sold out.
The 2026 World Cup is in full swing, and the fan excitement is translating into a massive surge in merchandise sales. Both Nike and Adidas are currently experiencing significant stock shortages across their official online stores, struggling to keep up with the overwhelming demand for national team kits. High-profile federations from the Americas, in particular, are seeing their jerseys rapidly sell out as supporters rush to secure their official tournament gear.
Brands Are Running Out of 2026 World Cup Kits
For Nike, apparel for the host nation is proving incredibly difficult to find. The USMNT 2026 authentic match home and away jerseys are currently listed as almost entirely out of stock in all adult sizes on the brand's official United States website. This high demand extends beyond the host country, with traditional tournament heavyweights also flying off the shelves. Fans looking to purchase the Brazil national team home stadium jersey are facing identical inventory issues, with the standard replica version largely unavailable for immediate purchase.
Adidas is dealing with the exact same retail challenges regarding its own major federations. The premium authentic versions of the Mexico 2026 home, away, and long-sleeve third kits are nearly completely sold out on the brand's regional platform. Smaller hyped federations are also experiencing the World Cup retail boom, with the Adidas Curacao jerseys also almost not available anymore at all.

Morecambe 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Morecambe FC have officially launched their new 26-27 home and away kits, produced by Surridge Sports. The club received massive backlash for posting AI images for the launch, and later posted a clearer CAD of the home shirt.
The home shirt features the club's traditional red color palette with black detailing, while the away kit introduces a bold combination of purple and yellow. Both designs incorporate modern elements to provide a fresh look for the upcoming National League North campaign.
The new Surridge Sports Morecambe 2026-27 jerseys are currently available for pre-order through the club's official online store.
Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
