Jersey Japan Home 2018

The Japan 2018 home jersey, made by Adidas, was designed with rich cultural significance, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese craftsmanship and history. The blue color, known as “Kachi-iro” or “victory indigo,” was a traditional color favored by samurai warriors. The fine vertical stripes on the front of the shirt were inspired by the “Sashiko” stitching technique, a form of Japanese embroidery, giving the jersey a unique, handcrafted look. The “Origami” concept was also central to the design, with the folds and lines of the jersey referencing the Japanese art of paper folding. This kit was famously worn by the “Samurai Blue” at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, where they put on a memorable performance, including a thrilling and heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Belgium in the Round of 16. The jersey, particularly with Shinji Kagawa’s number 10, is a sought-after piece for collectors, representing a team that showed both skill and fighting spirit on the world stage.
