J League

Japanese J1 League side FC Machida Zelvia has officially released its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season.

The Adidas FC Machida Zelvia 26-27 home shirt is anchored by the club's traditional deep blue base color, which is elevated by a striking, sharp geometric graphic across the upper chest. This graphic is not bespoke but a new streamlined graphic by Adidas, also used by the Faroes Islands.

To provide a premium contrast, metallic gold is heavily utilized for the classic Three Stripes on the shoulders, the collar and cuff trim, and the Adidas logo itself. The primary "CyberAgent" sponsor, along with secondary collarbone partners, are applied in white.

The J.League has officially unveiled the uniforms for the upcoming 2026 All-Star DAZN Cup, produced in a unique collaboration with Japanese retail giant Uniqlo and exclusively designed by Francesco Risso.

The bold aesthetic of the All-Star collection is deeply rooted in heritage, utilizing a traditional Japanese ink-marbling technique known as "suminagashi" to create a fluid, organic pattern across the fabric. The shirts carry a deeper meaning as a "garment of gratitude," featuring a special bow-style motif on the back that symbolizes the strong connection tying together the league's players, staff, and passionate supporters. To ensure all fans are represented, the collection drops in six distinct colorways mapped to the tournament's division brackets. The top-flight J1 teams will wear red (East) and blue (West), while the combined J2 and J3 divisions are split into four regional subgroups: light blue (East-A), green (East-B), yellow (West-A), and purple (West-B).

Players will also use a special custom match ball produced by Sfida, which boasts a nostalgic design heavily inspired by the iconic football anime Captain Tsubasa.
