Brazil has teamed up with the Jordan brand to unveil one of the most stylish kits for the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.
The new jersey, a collaboration with Nike’s offspring label, draws inspiration from a successful relationship established with Paris Saint-Germain in 2018, which has produced an array of fashionable kits for the current UEFA Champions League champions.
This summer marks Jordan’s inaugural entry into international football, collaborating with Carlo Ancelotti’s team as the tournament kicks off across Canada, Mexico, and the United States in June.

Brazil’s away kit for 2026 draws inspiration from an unexpected source: the Amazonian poison dart frog, renowned for its vibrant and striking patterns as well as its venomous abilities.
The shirt features a dark navy and black base designed to echo the unique spots, stripes, and banding found on the skin of the poison dart frog, complemented by bright custard yellow and turquoise trim. The design showcases an updated version of Jordan’s iconic “elephant print,” a hallmark of their basketball sneakers since the late 1980s.
Adding an extra touch of national pride, the inside of the collar bears an emblem with the phrase “Vai Brasil” (“Go Brazil”), while the five stars above the CBF crest celebrate the Seleção‘s remarkable achievements on the world stage.
Among the stars promoting this launch are Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior, PSG captain Marquinhos, and emerging talent Estêvão from Chelsea, all of whom are prepared to vie for a record-extending sixth World Cup title.
Reports surfaced last year revealing that an initial red design for the 2026 away kit, inspired by smoldering embers, faced backlash from Brazilian fans who have long associated their team’s alternate color with blue for the past century. It seems the final choice aligns better with fan sentiment.
