Drawing inspiration from “Colours Beyond the Horizon”, the Japan away design is brought to life through a stripe graphic featuring 12 distinct colours that represent the nation’s unity and bond, on and off the pitch. Set against an off-white base and 11 fading vertical lines run down the shirt in a rain-like effect, symbolising each of the 11 on-pitch players, while a bold central stripe takes the colour of the red sun of the national flag to represent the heart of the team – its fans. The Japanese flag is stamped on the back of the neck as a symbol of national pride and collective identity.
The home kit is available for purchase, with the replica version priced at ¥13,200 in Japan and the authentic version at ¥19,800. In the UK, retailers list the replica for around £85 and the authentic shirt for £120.
