Plain and 'Old' | Mexico 2016 Olympics Kit Revealed
Aug 5, 2016, by Chris
The Mexican national team debuted a quite different kit at the Olympics in Brazil against Mexico today than those known due to IOC's strict kit regulations and the fact that the national team does not represent the Mexican FA but the country.
There are two further interesting details about Mexico's kits for the 2016 Olympics. First, even though Adidas released a new green Mexico home kit for the 2016 Copa America, the national team will wear their old black and white kits due to better contrast to align with IOC's uniform regulations. Second, while Mexico used Atletica shirts in their 2012 Olympics win even though the FMF was back then already supplied by Adidas, the Mexican Olympic Committee and Adidas this time arranged an agreement that the football team will wear shirts from the German brand (Similar to France's Lacoste case, Mexican players wear Joma gear during all other occasions than matches as Joma is Mexico's Olympics supplier this time).
Mexico 2016 Olympics Kits
This is Mexico's national team away jersey for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Boasting the same design as Mexico's Copa America 2015 away kit, the new Mexico 2016 Olympic away shirt comes without Adidas stripes and features the Mexican flag instead of the crest of the federation.
The Adidas Mexico 2016 Olympics home jersey will be also the same as the regular home shirt, just without the Mexican FA crest and the Adidas stripes on the shoulders. It boasts a stunning design in black, white, green and red.
Not available to buy, the new Mexico 2016 Olympics kits will be worn by the men's and women's team during the Olympic soccer tournament only.

Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' Releasing Next Week
Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.
The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.
SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 Third Kit Released
Norwegian Toppserien side SK Brann Kvinner have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, produced by Nike in collaboration with Unisport. The team debuted the vibrant new design during their away fixture against Lyn in Oslo.
The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front. The design honors Bergen's reputation as Norway's "Rhododendron City," known for the vibrant bushes that flourish in gardens and parks across the city. All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
