Curaçao 2026 World Cup Away Kit Debut
Curaçao debuted their new 2026 World Cup away kit in yesterday's friendly match against Scotland. It brought a fresh and elegant look to the pitch.
The kit features a striking design inspired by the vibrant architecture, urban landscapes, and cultural identity of the island, drawing inspiration from the island's buildings, serving as a colorful tribute to Curaçao's distinctive architecture.
Curaçao will kick off their 2026 World Cup campaign on June 14. They have been drawn into Group E alongside Germany, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador.
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
