Dispute Going on? China Use Old Kits in First Matches After 2024 Kits Reveal
- Kit Controversy: China's national team wore their old 2022-23 kits instead of the newly revealed 2024 kits in recent World Cup qualifiers.
- Sales Delay: The new Nike China 2024 kits are not yet available for purchase on Nike's Chinese website, unlike other national team kits.
- Unclear Situation: While a dispute is not confirmed, the Chinese FA's reaction and kit situation suggests potential unhappiness, although this is not explicitly stated by them.
In 2018, the Chinese FA rejected the kit Nike designed for the Chinese national team at the last minute. Now, six years later, there is again a suboptimal situation.

Chinese National Team Wears Old Kits in March 2024 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
Unlike what was expected, the Chinese national team did not wear the new kits Nike revealed. Instead, China wore its old 2022-23 kits in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Singapore.
Nike does not sell China's kits yet
Additionally, and possibly even more oddly, the Nike China 2024 kits are also not yet available to buy via Nike's Chinese website. Meanwhile, the new kits of France, Netherlands, and Portugal are available to buy via Nike China. Still, there are only very few of the Nike 2024 Federation kits available on Nike's Chinese website.
Still, Footy Headlines thinks there is no dispute between the Chinese FA and Nike this time. Nigeria did also not wear its new Nike 2024 kit this March. We expect China to switch to the new kits for the next matches.
The Chinese FA commented on the Nike reveal with a thinking (🤔) emoji. This could mean anything.
Do you think the Chinese FA is happy with its Nike kits this time? Let us know in the comments below.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
