Adidas and the Colombian Football Association (FCF) today unveiled the new home jersey of the Colombian national team, which was unveiled at the Copa America on July 9, 2022. This is the first time the design has been revealed by a female player of the Colombian national team.
The New Jersey adopts classic and simple design, while carrying strong national enthusiasm. On the back are the colors of Colombia's tricolour national flag and the words of unity. The body is made of jacquard craft fabrics, while the red stripes on the sides are inspired by the pentagon in the Colombian Football Association logo.
The New Jersey is based on the colors of Colombia's national flag: yellow stands for justice and harmony; Blue symbolizes unity and vastness; The color red represents love, energy, strength and tenacity, helping Colombian players show their fighting spirit on the field. The jersey is designed to represent the Colombian national spirit, which aims to put people first and convey important qualities such as trust, authenticity, equality, sustainability, identity and creativity.
Lisa Datz, senior product manager at Adidas, said: "Colombia's home jersey has an elegant design that accentuates the colours of the national flag, which we want to express our national heritage. The details are clever. The side stripes are a reference to the pentagons found in the Colombian FA logo, and the words' UNIDOS POR UN PAIS (United by a Nation) 'on the back collar are meant to express national pride for players and fans alike."
"Adidas has been committed to promoting women's soccer for many years," said Juan Motta, marketing manager at Adidas headquarters in Colombia. Now, Adidas has chosen the national women's team to unveil the New Jersey for the first time. We want them to be proud to show their national colors every time they make an appearance. The Colombian men's football team will also wear the New Jersey in future matches to show the concept of 'TODOS SOMOS COLOMBIA' (we are all Colombian)."
Ramon Jesurun, president of the Colombian Football Federation, said: "I am very happy with the design of the New Jersey. The first time the jersey was shown to the world by a women's team was significant. It will undoubtedly be a historic moment for the national team and is meant to show how far women's football has come in Colombia. Adidas has shown tremendous support and faith in both men's and women's players, for which I am deeply grateful."
The Colombian national team's version of the jersey is made of renewable material and is powered by Adidas HEAT.RDY technology to help players stay cool and dry. The fan version of the jersey is equipped with AEROREADY technology, which absorbs sweat and creates a dry body, keeping fans prepared.
