No More New Balance - Adidas Costa Rica 2023 Home & Away Kits Released - Old Adidas Logo
Feb 1, 2023, by Chris
The new Adidas kits for Costa Rica's national soccer teams have been released, and they are not what fans were hoping for.
Adidas replaced New Balance as Costa Rica's kit supplier in January 2023, after the 2022 World Cup in which Costa Rica still wore New Balance kits.
Costa Rica 2023 Home Kit
This is the new Adidas Costa Rica home shirt for 2023.
The Adidas Costa Rica 2023 home jersey has a classic red color with white and blue detailing. The design is simple and modern and not very bespoke at all. However, one aspect of the kit has raised even bigger questions.
The kits are based on the old mi License 2022 template
Adidas use the old Adidas logo - why? This of course did not necessarily have to happen, but it appears likely that the deal was sealed too late and so Adidas had to come up with a makeshift solution. The Costa Rica Adidas 2023 kits are based on the old Adidas mi License 2022 template.

This is the Costa Rica 2023 away shirt, made by Adidas.
The Adidas Costa Rica 2023 away kit is white with gold pinstripes and a gold/black collar. All-black logos complete the look. The away kit is a fresh and stylish look, but also not very bespoke.

Nigeria Women Update Crest With 10 Stars
At the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), defending champions Nigeria featured a special detail on their shirts: 10 stars added above their crest. The "Super Falcons" had never worn stars on their kits in previous WAFCONs.
The 10 stars represent Nigeria's 10 continental titles, celebrating their history as the most dominant team in African women's football. Big thanks to our Vietnamese partner @jerseystory_vn for the collage image.
