There's More Than One Way to Pledge Your Allegiance This World Cup
Believe it or not, there's more than one way to rep your team's colors. Sure, the jersey is the obvious choice, the most fundamental part of any kit and the loudest way to flash your allegiance during this year's FIFA World Cup extravaganza. But it's not the only one.
Enter the sports jacket. No, not the blazer. We’re talking about the pitch-side kind, embossed with a certain badge of honor, if you’re into that kinda thing.
Besides its practicalities against the rain, wind and any other elements thrown at you (beer spillages perhaps), a team's jacket is a symbol of unity when a kit can’t be. Plus, there’s the added bonus of actually being able to wear it beyond match day, after all, it’s a solid jacket at the end of the day.
With this in mind, we’ve compiled our favorites that adidas has to offer right now.
If you were watching in 2006, you already know. If you weren't, this is your chance to catch up. adidas has brought back the iconic Argentina away track top from the 2006 World Cup, one of the most beloved kits in tournament history, and its double blue looks just as striking two decades later.
Contrary to belief, not every World Cup jacket needs to scream to be heard. The adidas Denim Graphic Track Top takes a quieter approach, with denim-inspired details, embroidered linear branding, and a relaxed, loose fit that sits somewhere between terrace wear and something you'd actually want to wear on a night out.
Sweden's track top is the one for people who care more about how they look than who wins. Butter yellow and royal blue, they didn't come to play. The funnel neck, Trefoil branding, Sweden crest, and fun graphic on the back make this one of the cleaner fan pieces going right now. Wear it to the match, wear it after. Either way, you're winning.
The most important tournament in the world deserves its own jacket, and this is it. The FIFA World Cup 26 Official Emblem Windbreaker is as close to a collector's piece as outerwear gets, carrying the official tournament emblem on a lightweight plain-weave shell that's built for whatever mood the weather's in. Football optional, of course.
