Adidas Japan x Belgium 2022 World Cup Special Kit Concept
Just a few hours ago, Japan were eliminated from the 2022 World Cup. They surely had one of the best kits in the 2022 World Cup. Italian football kit enthusiasts @football_nerds have come up with an incredible Japan concept kit idea.
Japan x Belgium 2022 World Cup Special concept Kit
This is the Adidas Japan x Belgium special concept shirt by Italian kit aficionados Football Nerds.
The Adidas Japan x Belgium 2022 World Cup special concept jersey creates a Japan kit from the Belgium 2022 World Cup home kit. It swaps the red for a saturated blue, while it keeps the flames in their original colors.
Adidas bought back the 1990s flames kit in 2017
Even though it is technically the Belgium design, the concept evokes memories of the Japan 1998 World Cup kit. It also had a flame design on the sleeves.
1997 vs 2017
In 2017, Adidas brought the classic flames back for the Japan 2017 home kit. For us, the concept by Football Nerds looks better.
In case you were hoping that Adidas could release this kit - the Three Stripes won't, it will remain a virtual product.
Adidas won't release such a kit, unfortunately

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Wears Arsenal Kit Inspired Kurta at Eid al-Adha
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended Eid al-Adha prayers in the Bronx wearing a kurta based on Arsenal's 2025-26 away shirt. The longtime Arsenal supporter chose the traditional tunic for the Wednesday celebration.
The garment replicates the navy blue design with red lightning bolt patterns from the club's away kit and includes the Emirates Fly Better sponsor logo. Photographs of the outfit circulated widely on social media after the event.
Mamdani, who has supported Arsenal since childhood, combined his fandom with the Muslim holiday observance in the city he leads.
Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
