- Innovative Jersey: The Paraguayan Football Association created a touch-sensitive jersey for visually impaired fans, allowing them to feel the national colors through raised symbols.
- Unique Symbol System: The jersey uses a relief symbol system to represent colors: flames for red, waves for blue, and a hollow circle for white, marking the first use of this system on a football kit.
- Braille Inclusion: The jersey includes the word "Puma" in Braille below the logo, acknowledging a different language system.
In a groundbreaking move, the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) has launched a touch-sensitive jersey for visually impaired fans, allowing them to "feel" the national colors.
Paraguay Launches Historic Jersey for Visually Impaired Fans
The special Paraguay 2024 jersey features the same design as the regular kit, with two additions for visually impaired persons.
Paraguay 2024 Standard vs Special Blind Home Kit
The colors red, white, and blue feature a relief symbol constant system representing each color: flames for red, waves for blue, and a hollow circle for white. It is the first time that a relief Constanz symbol system is used on a football kit.
Second, below the Puma logo, there is the lettering Puma in Braille. Braille is the famous form of written language for blind people, in which characters are represented by patterns of raised dots that are felt with the fingertips.
It is not known if Paraguay will wear this kit in the 2026 World Cup qualifers vs Argentina. The kit is apparently not available to buy.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
