Canada First Team Since 2014 To Wear 3rd Kit at World Cup
Nov 30, 2022, by John
Third shirts at a FIFA World Cup are a rare sight, one that we had not seen since 2014. Most nations, when complying with the strict kit regulations, manage to face off against one another without the need for such outfits.
Canada First Team Since Spain to Wear 3rd Kit
Up until this weekend, Spain were the last side to have worn a third jersey at a World Cup. This came in their infamous opening 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands.
The circumstances back then were such that FIFA deemed Spain's regular home and away shirts (red and black) to be too dark for Holland's navy kits. Therefore, even though they were the designated home team, the Spanish were forced to produce a white third kit.
It is common practice for national teams to only receive a home and away shirt from their manufacturers. However, Canada were one of the few teams at the 2022 World Cup to come with three jerseys.
Their third kit was worn against Croatia, who of course played in their white kits with red checkers.
Without Canada's all-black third option, we think FIFA may have prevented Croatia from wearing their home kits, as Canada's red and white shirts could cause a clash.

Too Much? Turkish Teams Have Side Kit Sponsors
Fenerbahçe's and Beşiktaş' 2026-27 kits have drawn criticism from fans due to the overwhelming number of sponsors, specifically focusing on the side sponsor.
Especially for Beşiktaş the side sponsor heavily dominates the otherwise simple look.
Many fans have expressed a desire for sponsor-free versions of the shirts to be made available for purchase, as the current heavily sponsored designs are seen by some as ruining the aesthetic of the classic jerseys.
Rot-Weiss Essen 26-27 Home Kit Revealed - RWE Returns as Main Sponsor
German third division club Rot-Weiss Essen has unveiled its new Jako home kit for the 2026-27 season, coinciding with a major sponsorship announcement.
The energy company RWE AG is set to return as the club's main sponsor starting July 1, 2026, signing a three-year deal that brings the iconic RWE logo back to the front of the first team's shirts. RWE AG was previously the main sponsor of the club's youth setup, a role that will now be taken over by thyssenkrupp AG.
The new Rot-Weiss Essen 26-27 home shirt by Jako features a predominantly red design, incorporating a very subtle bespoke street pattern across the front. It is so hardly visible that fans first thought it would be a generic kit.
To accommodate the new main sponsor, the previous primary partner, ifm-Unternehmensgruppe, has voluntarily moved to the left sleeve as a co-main sponsor, maintaining its financial commitment to the club for the next three years.
While the new sponsorship deals have been praised by many fans, some supporters have voiced their desire for the club to eventually change its kit supplier from Jako.
