On the 29th, the new uniforms worn by the Japanese national team at the soccer World Cup, which will start in November, were announced.
Regarding the uniform design based on the concept of "origami," Takefusa Kubo, the representative of Japan, said, "It was innovative and intimidating, and I felt that we could win."
The Japan national soccer team's uniform, which has been redesigned for the first time in about three years, was unveiled at a presentation held in Tokyo on the 29th.
The new uniform is based on the concept of "origami", based on the history of the Japan national team, which has "peaks and valleys" and has continued to evolve. It is designed with the image of a development diagram.
Also, when watching the video of the game on a smartphone etc., the jersey numbers are yellow so that it is easy to recognize the players.
Takefusa Kubo, the representative of Japan, also participated online at the recital and spoke about his impression, saying, "The design is innovative and easy to remember. It has an intimidating feeling and I feel like I can win."
The new jersey will be used from the warm-up game against the United States in Germany on September 23rd.
Adidas manager Masashi Takagi, who was involved in the development of the uniform, said, "Many players saw this uniform and felt a sense of Japan. I think we have created a uniform that is suitable for competitions where they carry their country on their backs."
