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
This is the Australia 2018 away jersey by Nike.
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.

Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
