adidas unveil nature inspired away kits for 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup!

Today – as proud partners to ten of the teams competing at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand – adidas unveils the away kits for Argentina, Colombia, Germany, Japan, Spain, and Sweden, having already unveiled the eye-catching designs for Costa Rica, Italy and Jamaica earlier this year and with the kits for the Philippines, still to be released in the coming months.

As all eyes turn towards this year’s showpiece event, each federation kit is inspired by nature, celebrating the iconic scenery and diverse natural landscapes of each country – including the vast green woodlands of Germany, the sprawling glacial rivers of Sweden and the ever-changing colors of the Caño Cristales River in Colombia.

Each shirt features the latest in adidas fabric innovations, including lightweight, heat-applied details. The kits for Argentina, Colombia, Germany Japan and Spain are constructed using materials and textures to help keep players feeling cool with HEAT.RDY technology, optimized to keep players feeling comfortable while performing on the biggest stage. While AEROREADY technology in the Sweden kit uses sweat wicking or absorbent materials to keep players feeling dry.

Both authentic and replica versions of each kit are made from a yarn containing 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, re-imagined plastic waste, intercepted on remote islands, beaches, coastal communities and shorelines, preventing it from polluting our ocean. The other 50% of the yarn is recycled polyester. Just one of the innovations that represent our commitment to help end plastic waste.

FEDERATION KIT DESIGN DETAILS:

Argentina

Striking landscapes from Serranía de Hornocal in the north to Ushuaia in the south, the Argentina away kit signifies the diverse natural landscapes found across the country.

Colombia

The Colombian away kit pays homage to the many hues of the Caño Cristales River – often referred to as the ‘River of Five Colors’ – celebrating the unique changing phenomenon that occurs due to the reflection of light against the water. Utilizing traditional federation colors, re-imagined through the lens of flowing water and the reflection of light, the design brings in a fresh look that celebrates the country’s rich biodiversity.

Germany

Germany’s away jersey is inspired by the various deep green woodland areas found within the country – from the Black Forest to the Zauberwald. The various shades of green and bespoke handmade graphic celebrate Germany’s vast woodlands – which cover an area equivalent to one third of the country’s land mass.

Japan

Japan’s away kit takes its pink color cues from the beautiful pink sunrise that can be witnessed at Mount Fuji. The sunrise represents the collective mission of the Japanese team – as the Women’s World Cup emerges on the horizon – to add another winner’s star to the team badge.

Spain

The Spanish away jersey takes inspiration from the beautiful coral reefs that can be found around Spain’s vast coastlines – a feature the country shares with the famous coral reefs found in the tournament’s host nations of Australia and New Zealand.

Sweden

Sweden’s away jersey is inspired by the vast glacial rivers and ice caps that can be found across the country. Combining a changing glacial blue graphic, with trims and details in the iconic yellow color synonymous with the nation – the design seeks to highlight the beauty and importance of the nation’s glaciers.

The release of adidas’ Women’s World Cup jerseys follows the recent launch of the Official Match Ball – OCEAUNZ – released as part of adidas’ official role as partners to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. As well as offering a bold design featuring a decoration of blues and greens and visuals nodding to the vast mountains of New Zealand and Australia’s connection with the Indian Ocean, 1% of net sales of OCEAUNZ are contributed towards adidas Football Collective partner, Common Goal’s ‘Global Goal 5 Accelerator’; a collective project to increase female participation, representation and leadership in the grassroots game.

Alongside its work with the adidas Football Collective, the brand is committed to working with established community partners, activists and change-makers to deliver real action for the game. This is achieved through the deployment of resources to teams that give access where it isn’t readily available, including disability champions, women game-makers and teams from the LGBTQIA+ community. These initiatives form part of adidas’s ongoing commitment to helping to make sport equal, because when it comes to sport, fair play doesn’t yet exist for all. Using the power of sport to create a better future for the planet and people, the brand is focused on creating possibilities through products, programs and partnerships.
