Kappa Produces One-Off Of Child's Football Kit Imagination
Update: Kappa produced a one-off version of the hand-drawn soccer jersey. They used Saintetixx’s version of Evan’s shirt (and made one for his parent as well).
Update: The hand-drawn football kit by a young child will be produced in reality by Hope & Glory, a UK-based specialist sportswear company designing & manufacturing bespoke football kits and training wear. The proceeds are going to music therapy charity Soundwell Music Therapy Trust. Already available to pre-order, the kit will be sent out from late April 2020. The kit is officially called "@fistedaway / Soundwell Charity Shirt".

When Nike released the new it for the Nigerian national football team, the Swoosh did quite proudly announce that the jersey is not a template kit but that "the kit’s pattern was hand drawn, highly symbolic of Nigerian heritage with nods to nobility and family." Now a drawing of a football shirt by the son of a football fan made the waves on social media.
Kid Draws Football Kit
The hand-drawn design by the young child consists of different shades and triangles in a wide range of colors - from a bright over over silver to brown and blue. He also draw a small Swoosh on the right chest area and a abdge on the left side to round off the design.
French designer Saintetixx put the hand-drawn design onto his modern Nike football template, and PES kit maker GamerKits created it for Pro Evolution Soccer. Both reveal that the design does look quite impressive, especially if we would imagine it as keeper shirt.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
