China Team Plays Under Tattoo Ban
If you watched a match of he Chinese national team at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the UAE, you might have noticed that some of their players were using special athletes tape. Let us find out why.
Chinese Players Not Allowed To Show Off Tattoos Because of Government
The reason for players wearing athletes tapes is as simple as incredible. One year ago, in March 2018, Chinese sports officials banned tattoos from being visible during matches in the whole Chinese Super League and for players of the China national team. It is not an official law but a semiofficial edict.
Therefore, some Chinese players wearing long-sleeved undershirts beneath their jerseys or special athletes tape in the colors of their skin.
Heavily inked central defender Zhang Linpeng, including the entirety of both arms, is heavily affected by the rule. He has been playing with a compression shirt underneath his national team jersey. H has avoided covering the markings on his right leg and his neck, however.
Other players have less work to do; a tattooed back or calf is often covered by a player’s uniform, while a smaller bit of artwork can be hidden under athletic tape. Covering tattoos isn’t mandatory for training sessions.)
“This is only a detail; I don’t really want to talk about this,” Lippi said through a translator.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
