Amazing Japan 2022 "Inside Out" Anthem Jacket Released
Aug 31, 2022, by Simon
The new Japanese national football team anthem jacket was released a few days ago together with the new Japan 2022 World Cup home and away kits. It is made by Adidas and will be worn before games in the 2022 World Cup during the national anthem.
Japan 2022 Anthem Jacket
This is the Japan 2022 anthem jacket, made by Adidas.
Introducing a clean look, the Adidas Japan 2022 anthem jacket is mainly royal blue with white accents such as the 3 Stripes on the sleeves, Adidas' updated logo on the right chest or the white zipper. Japan's logo sits on the left chest in its regular form.
However, there is a catch. Once you turn the Japan 2022 World Cup anthem jacket inside out you basically get a whole new look inspired by the Japan 2022 World Cup away jersey and its Origami graphic pattern on the sleeves.
The reverse of the Adidas Japan 2022 World Cup anthem jacket is mainly white with an all-over graphic of Origami in shades of red and light blue, reminiscent of a 3D effect.
The Adidas logo and the JFA logo are both placed on the left side. Adidas' logo is black, while the Japan national football team logo sits underneath in a recoloured grey & white rendition.
Available since August 29, the Adidas Japan 2022 anthem jacket shirt retails at ¥12,100 ($90).

Valenciennes FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
French club Valenciennes FC and Danish brand Hummel have officially released their new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the club's set of shirts for the campaign, the new release pays homage to the traditional lace-making heritage and textile craftsmanship of Valenciennes and the wider Hainaut region.
The Hummel Valenciennes 26-27 third jersey features a deep blue base highlighted by subtle vertical bands incorporating intricate floral lace graphics. These patterned columns are framed by thin yellow pinstripes, matching the signature Hummel chevrons on the shoulders. A vintage-styled white polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs add contrast, while the club crest and Toyota sponsor logo are rendered in clean white.
Continuing the theme of embedding local identity into their designs—following the home shirt inspired by museum stained glass and the away shirt featuring regional symbols—the Valenciennes FC 26-27 third kit is available now via the club's official online store and physical club shop.

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?
