Russia Still Wear Adidas 2020 Kit in International Friendlies

This past week, during the international break, Russia national football team played friendly matches against Iran and Iraq while using the Adidas kit. Since they’re not getting any new products from the three stripes because of their recent FIFA and UEFA ban, Sbornaya opted to use their old 2020 jersey instead.

Russia Wear Adidas 2020 Home Kit in Friendly Matches Against Iran and Iraq

The Sbornaya played with the same home Adidas kit in both of their matches against Iran, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and their 2-0 victory against Iraq. The jersey that Russia opted to use in those friendly matches was released to mark their participation in the Euro 2020 which saw them finishing last in their group.

Was This Supposed to Be Adidas' Russia 2022 Home Kit?

Before the ban from FIFA and UEFA, Russia would’ve got a new home and away jerseys ahead of the 2022 World Cup. However, it looks like Karpin’s men will not get an opportunity to wear those potential new kits at all.

Because Adidas decided to stop supporting Russia, they reportedly could be getting a new sponsor. Zasport, a local-based company are reportedly open to becoming the new kit manufacturer for the Sbornaya but so far there’s no agreement just yet.

Russian Company Want to Replace Adidas as Russia Kit Maker

FIFA and UEFA’s ban on Russia national football team and its clubs are not lifted yet but that didn’t stop the country from playing international football. Just as other European countries are playing Euro 2024 qualifier, Sbornaya decided to play friendlies against two Asian sides, Iran and then Iraq. Since they are still banned, Russia will also miss out on the upcoming Euro 2024 finals in Germany.

The second game against the Lions of Mesopotamia is quite special for Russia as it was their first international game on home soil after the Ukraine invasion. Meanwhile, the match versus Iran were played away at the Azadi Stadium.

What do you think about Russia's decision to still wear their old Adidas kit in recent friendlies? Comment below.

QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom

QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.

The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.

From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.

Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026.
