Apr 5, 2018, by Pat
The Australia 2018 World Cup home and away kits introduce bespoke designs, inspired by the Socceroo's football tradition and heritage. Set for a debut on the weekend, the Nike Austrlia 2018 World Cup collection will go on sale on April 8.
Australia 2018 World Cup Home Kit
This image shows the Australia home shirt.
The Australia 2018 World Cup jersey is golden with a dark green collar and a unique graphic print on the sleeves. This Australia 2018 kit sleeve graphic is inspired by one of the most important moments in Australia football history, the decisive 2006 World Cup qualifier that was played on November 16, 2005, and which saw the Socceroos return to the biggest stage after 32 years.
“In the days before Australia's triumphant game in '05, the team captain issued a public statement requesting the support of every Socceroo fan inside and outside the stadium to create a sea of gold,” says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “It’s that battle cry that inspired the home kit.”
Tech-wise, the Australia 2018 World Cup home shirt is based on Nike's latest template and kit tech.
A fresh look and significant change from the regular gold shirt and green shorts, the Australia 2018 World Cup kit is gold from top to bottom.
Australia 2018 World Cup Away Kit

The Australia 2018 away shirt is a much more understated look. Predominantly dark green, it features bright lime yellow accents in the form of the Swoosh on the right chest and taping on the inside neck.
“Green and gold are the colors of the Australian national team, so we wanted to celebrate that directly with a green away kit. The sharp graphic on the away shirt is a reference to the sharp points on the kit worn on November 16, 2005,” says Hoppins.
Finally, a bold graphic print is present on the front of the Australia 2018 World Cup away jersey.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
