Adidas just revealed the home kits for the 23 nations it will dress at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Built with the brand’s lightest, most breathable fabric yet, the jerseys are designed to handle the vastly different climates they’ll face across North America next summer—from Mexico City’s scorching heat to Toronto’s humidity.
Defending champion Argentina leads the lineup. Its jersey features three stars above its crest and three shades of blue in its stripes, both nods to the country’s three World Cup titles. Mexico’s kit tells a story of culture and pride through intricate Aztec symbols. Costa Rica’s uniform blooms with tropical floral motifs. Saudi Arabia’s surprises with accents of lavender, a tribute to its national flower. And Jamaica’s jersey was designed in collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation, with subtle red stripes, a sleek collar and a Marley patch near the hem.

But, for Adidas’s design team, Colombia’s kit is the favourite. It features a bold mix of royal blue and bright yellow, with butterfly-wing tracings that pop without making it feel like a kids’ jersey. “When I got the briefing, exploring yellow butterflies, it was hard not to make something really childish,” says Sergio Mareco Jr., senior designer for football apparel at Adidas. “But the outcome was wonderful—I was really proud of this graphic.”

This reveal marks the first half of Adidas’s World Cup set, with away kits coming at a later date. Canada’s look is still under wraps—the team is sponsored by Nike—so we’ll have to wait to see the jersey that will be sported by our players, fans and, most importantly, Maple the Moose.
