Nike Could Sell Scrapped Red Jordan Brazil 2026 Away Kit & Jacket
Jan 6, 2026, by Phan Tich Giay
- Scrapped Red Kit: Nike is considering selling the scrapped red Jordan Brazil 2026 away kit due to production timelines and existing stock.
- Fan Backlash: The red kit, leaked in April 2025, faced significant opposition from Brazilian fans and media, leading to its cancellation.
- Production Costs: Selling the kit could help Nike recover production costs and provide fans with a unique collector's item.
Update: Footy Headlines can continue to leak that Nike is still planning to release the original red Brazil 2026 away kit (which was scrapped). It is reportedly still available for retailers. The black/red Jordan jacket design is also likely to be in a similar situation.
25 August 2025: Despite the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) officially canceling the controversial red Jordan Brazil 2026 away kit, Footy Headlines has received information that Nike is now considering selling the scrapped jersey to the public.
This could give fans a chance to own a unique piece of "what if" history - the kit that was produced but never worn.
Nike Could Sell Scrapped Red Jordan Brazil 2026 Away Kit
To recap one of the biggest kit stories of the year: Footy Headlines first leaked in April 2025 that Brazil's 2026 World Cup away kit would be a revolutionary red color and made by the Jordan brand.
The leak was met with a massive backlash from Brazilian fans and media, who strongly opposed the use of a color not traditionally associated with the Seleção.
Due to the immense public pressure, the new CBF president announced in June that the red kit had been scrapped, and Brazil would wear their traditional blue for the away strip at the 2026 World Cup.
Why Nike Might Sell It: Production Timelines
The design, development, and production cycle for a World Cup kit is a long process, often taking between 18-24 months.
This means that by the time the kit was leaked in April 2025, mass production was likely already well underway. As a result, it is highly probable that thousands of the red Jordan Brazil kits have already been produced and are currently sitting in Nike's warehouses.
Instead of destroying the stock, Nike is now exploring the option of selling these kits. They could be released as a special edition or collector's item alongside the official new blue away kit.
This would be a way for Nike to recoup some production costs and offer fans a unique piece of kit history.
While Brazil will not wear red on the pitch in the 2026 World Cup, fans may still have the chance to own the controversial kit. This is not yet officially confirmed by Nike, but it is a strong possibility given the circumstances.
What do you think? Would you buy the scrapped red Jordan Brazil kit if Nike released it? Let us know in the comments below.
Similarity Between Arsenal's 21-22 and 26-27 Kits
Leaked images of the Arsenal 26-27 third kit have many fans comparing it to the club's 21-22 away shirt. Both designs share a very similar light yellow base, a classic round collar, and matching dark blue and red accents.
Although the new jersey introduces a lightning bolt pattern representing the Royal Arsenal logo, this subtle detail might not be enough to make the design feel truly fresh or ground-breaking. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the comparison image.
Manchester United Use Old Champions League Patch in New Kit Promo
In the latest promotional post for their new 26-27 away kit, Manchester United was spotted using an outdated version of the UEFA Champions League patch. The shirt featured the old starball badge with a white border instead of the updated black outline - a minor mistake that also appeared during the club's earlier home kit launch.
Back in 2024, UEFA introduced a redesigned Champions League patch with a outer black border to improve visibility on light-colored jerseys. Since United missed out on Champions League football during the first two seasons of the new design, the club's kit staff might simply still be getting used to the updated spec. Thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the spotted.
Almería 26-27 Home Kit Released
The new UD Almería home kit for the 26-27 season has been officially released. Made by Macron, the kit enters the second year of the technical partnership between the Italian brand and the Spanish club.
The Macron UD Almería 26-27 home shirt features the club's traditional red and white stripes, incorporating a unique design element with the Indalo symbol subtly integrated within the red stripes. It has a classic round neck collar, with the club crest and the Macron Hero logo both fully embroidered on the chest. The front features the SMC Group sponsor logo, while Kudu appears as the sleeve sponsor. The back of the shirt includes a solid white panel to ensure clear visibility for player numbers.
The club promoted the launch with the phrase 'Mucho más que un símbolo' (Much more than a symbol), highlighting the cultural significance of the Indalo to the region of Almería.
