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.
CR Belouizdad 26-27 Home Kit Released
Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 side CR Belouizdad have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 26-27 season, produced by Puma. Designed as a celebration of the club's legacy and identity, the shirt brings a classic look back to the forefront for the capital side.
The Puma CR Belouizdad 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a bold white chevron across the chest. It incorporates a white V-neck collar, patterned white sleeve cuffs, and a subtle "1962" detail on the sleeve honoring the year of the club's founding. The CRB crest with its championship star is placed over the chest alongside white Puma branding and the logo of main sponsor Madar Holding.
Built with Puma's dryCELL performance fabric and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, the new jersey is completed by matching red shorts and red socks.
Vitesse 26-27 Airborne Kit Released
Dutch club SBV Vitesse and technical partner Robey Sportswear have officially launched their special 2026-27 Airborne kit. Continuing an annual tradition that dates back to 2007, the kit commemorates the 1944 Battle of Arnhem and Operation Market Garden, and will be worn during the club's annual Airborne fixture in September.
Themed "V van Vrijheid" (V for Freedom), the shirt also pays tribute to a silent act of resistance during the club's 50th anniversary in 1942, when players formed a large 'V' on the pitch in a subtle nod to the Allied Victory sign. The jersey is presented in a deep bordeaux base covered in dynamic tonal chevron patterns that form subtle 'V' shapes across the torso. Contrasting sky blue accents highlight the collar, sleeve cuffs, and underarm panels, with a white poppy placed centrally on the chest between the Robey branding and the club crest.
Matching bordeaux shorts and sky blue socks decorated with claret chevrons complete the uniform. The Robey Vitesse 26-27 Airborne kit is available to purchase now through the club's official online store.
Cambodian Premier League Becomes First Asian League to Introduce "Debut" Sleeve Patches
The Cambodian Premier League has surprised kit enthusiasts and football followers by introducing an official "CPL DEBUT" sleeve patch, making it the first domestic league in Asia to adopt a dedicated debut patch on match shirts. While high-profile competitions across the continent like the Saudi Pro League, Japan's J.League, and South Korea's K League have yet to implement such badges, Cambodia's top flight has embraced the global trend.
Positioned directly underneath the official Cambodian Premier League crest on the right sleeve, the badge features a compact rectangular design with a bold red background and white "CPL DEBUT" lettering. The patch is applied to kits exclusively for players making their first-ever career appearance in the Cambodian Premier League, commemorating their milestone game on the pitch.
The concept takes inspiration from the debut patch movement that originated in American sports like Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, which recently expanded to European football via UEFA and Topps for the UEFA Champions League. While the Cambodian version is an independent initiative by the league rather than a licensed trading card memorabilia tie-in, it adds a unique detail and collectible charm to debutants' match-worn shirts.
Newcastle United Announce BetMGM Partnership Extension
Newcastle United have officially announced a multi-year extension of their commercial partnership with BetMGM. The renewed agreement sees the operator, part of the LeoVegas Group, continue in its role as the Magpies' Official UK and European Betting Partner heading into the 26-27 season and beyond.
The collaboration first started in 2023 alongside BetMGM's launch in the UK market, following an earlier renewal in 2024. Over the past three seasons, the relationship has established a major presence on matchdays at St. James' Park, focusing primarily on fan engagement and digital activations rather than kit branding.
As part of the extended deal, Newcastle and BetMGM confirmed the return of the popular BetMGM Half-Time Challenge. The activation offers supporters attending home fixtures the opportunity to take to the pitch at the break and compete for prizes, including a trip to Las Vegas.
