Russia Forced to Wear Neutral Kits at 2022 World Cup - If They Qualify
Did you know that Russia was not allowed to officially take part in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, with Russian athletes donning "neutral" jerseys during those events?
We will continue to see the same across major international events after the Court of Arbitration for sports (CAS) upheld the initial decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
WADA had banned Russia for four years after the Russian anti-doping agency RUSADA was found guilty of failing to provide drug-test data when requested to do so.
CAS confirmed in December that the Russian name, flag and anthem would be banned from the next summer and winter Olympics as well as the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Business as usual at the Euro
Interestingly, Russia will participate as usual at this summer's Euro 2020 as UEFA is not a "major events organization" regarding rulings on anti-doping breaches.

What to expect from the neutral Russian shirt?
The jersey worn during the 2018 Winter Olympics gives us an idea of what to expect, should the Russian team qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
Produced by the Nike, they featured a generic hockey badge on the front, together with the writing "Olympic Athlete From Russia".
Russia currently sit in second place in Group H of the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers, level on points with Croatia, having played three of the total of 10 matches.

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.
