Recently revealed and causing quite a stir online, these are the new Júbilo Iwata home (1st) and away (2nd) shirts.
The first products of the freshly announced partnership with English brand Admiral, the new designs very obviously nod to the iconic shirts worn by England in the early 1980s - most notably at the Spain ’82 World Cup.
In sky blue with white, navy and yellow, the 2022 "1st" shirt also features the Japanese J1 League side’s crest in full colour and overlaid - slightly misaligned with the manufacturer’s logo - on a jacquard representing the local Shizuoka Prefecture.
In little more than a straight swap of sky blue for white, the "2nd" keeps to the exact same stylings, including a contrasting Yamaha wordmark (in black here) to add to the iconic.
There are white shorts and sky-blue socks to complete the 1st kit, with the reverse for the 2nd - offering jarless interchangeability options - and the template is also retained for the all-pink, all-yellow and all-green goalkeeper versions.
