Brazil’s Bold New Jersey Color for the 2026 World Cup Revealed!
In a surprising twist, Brazil’s national team will don a striking red away jersey for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026. This groundbreaking decision comes from the CBF, the governing body of Brazilian football, which approved the design for the tournament to be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Originally reported by Footy Headlines, the news has since been corroborated by various outlets in Brazil. While the CBF has not denied the existence of the red jersey, Nike remains tight-lipped, opting not to comment when approached by the media. This will mark the first time in World Cup history that Brazil has opted for a color outside of its iconic yellow, blue, or white.
Intriguingly, the new jersey will feature black accents that beautifully complement the dominant red hue. Furthermore, fans can expect to see the Jordan logo, a collaboration between Nike and basketball legend Michael Jordan, replacing the traditional supplier symbol—a fitting nod to style seen in teams like Paris Saint-Germain.
Similar to the existing models, the jersey will proudly display the national team’s emblem on the chest. Meanwhile, Brazil’s main kit for the World Cup will continue to showcase the beloved yellow as its primary color. According to reports from Globoesporte, the official launch of the World Cup jerseys is set for March next year, coinciding with the final FIFA date before the tournament.
Historically, Brazil has worn white during a World Cup final, notably against Uruguay in the infamous 1950 Maracanazo, where they lost 2-1. Following a national design competition in 1953, Brazil settled on its current vibrant yellow with green accents, blue shorts, and white socks, a representation of their national colors. However, blue has made several appearances as well, including the nail-biting penalty shootout victory against Italy in 1994 and the disappointing loss to France in 1998.
As the excitement builds for the 2026 World Cup, fans are eager to see how this fresh design will perform on the international stage.
