"Fans Want More": These Are Not the USA 2022 World Cup Kits
Images have been circulating online showing the purported USA 2022 World Cup kits, however the shirts in these photos are knockoffs produced by counterfeiters, based on FootyHeadlines' predictions of the real shirts.
Fake USA 2022 World Cup Kits
Below are the photos of the fake kits.
Upon seeing what they believed could be the real kits, many fans expressed their disappointment at the plain designs on Twitter. Although the colours are the same as we predict to see worn at the Workd Cup and some elements of the design match up correctly to our expectations of the what the real shirts will look like, there are some tell-tale signs that these kits are counterfeits, which will be good news to the fans, judging by their reactions.

First of all, the seam running across the top of the torso should be perfectly rounded and pass cleanly below the collar, rather than the almost diagonal stitching seen here that runs into the neckline.
The colours are correct, but many other elements of the kits confirm that they are fake.
The swoosh is also present in its usual position in the photos, which will not be the case for the real jerseys, as there will be one positioned on each sleeve while the right side of the chest will remain logo-free.

Finally, and perhaps most telling of all, the knit pattern used is from Nike's 21-22 template. We used this in our mock-up as there was no information on the new pattern at the time of making it. The small cutaway at the back of the collar is also an outdated feature that will not be present on the new kit.
What do you think of their efforts to produce believable kits? Let us know in the comments.

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.
