China further limits the power of companies, groups, and individuals

As visible on the images, it appears like the Chinese national soccer team / Nike was forced to change the kit of the Chinese national team. Instead of the crest of the CFA (Chinese Football Association), it featured the Chinese flag in the match.

The crest change of the Nike China 2020 football kits follows some recent actions of the Chinese state to reduce the power of companies, groups, and individuals. All Chinese clubs with a sponsor name had to remove it for 2021.

This kit was never worn and only available to buy very shortly

In 2018, China scrapped a stunning black and yellow kit. It is not known why it was presented but later buried.
