Did Nike & Palace Take Inspiration From Famous Fake Brazil Shirt for Official 2026 England Jersey?

  • Nike x Palace England Jersey: Nike and Palace are set to release a special pre-match jersey for the England national team in 2026.
  • Design Similarity: The England jersey shares design similarities with a counterfeit Brazil jersey featuring religious iconography, specifically Christ the Redeemer.
  • Palace's Previous Designs: Palace has a history of creating similar religious-themed football kit designs, predating the viral Brazil concept kit.

Nike and Palace will very soon release a special pre-match jersey for the England national football team. However, the design has some striking similarities to an infamous kit.

Brazil Concept Vs Nike x Palace Official England Jersey

Nike x Palace's official 2026 England pre-match shirt is similar to the popular Christ the Redeemer counterfeit Brazil jersey, with both featuring religious iconography designs.

2023 Official Vs 2024 Concept

The Christ the Redeemer Brazil shirt was created by independent designer CfkDesigns as a concept in 2024 (hire him, Nike), and then produced thousands of times by counterfeiters. The official England release displays comparable aesthetic elements with saints and religious figures in a monochromatic gray palette.

However, Palace actually entered the religious football kit design scheme before the Brazil Christ the Redeemer kit was created. Palace released similar designs in 2022 and 2023.

We likely will never find out if Palace wanted to "copy" the Brazil idea, or if it is just a coincidence.

Do you think Nike x Palace copied the Brazil kit? Let us know in the comments below.
