57 days away from the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, a flaw in the jerseys of certain teams has sparked a wave of criticism. The shoulder seam, an aesthetic detail, has caught the attention of fans and media.

Defect in team jerseys for the 2026 World Cup

Just days before the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, Nike has been called out for an aesthetic flaw in the jerseys of teams like France, England, Uruguay, and Brazil, among others. During preparation matches, a bulging was observed in the shoulder seam area, leading to criticism and comparisons with the character 'Shredder' from the 'Ninja Turtles'.

Nike's acknowledgment and evaluation

In response to the criticisms, Nike acknowledged the defect in the jerseys, stating that while it does not affect performance, it does impact the aesthetics. The company is evaluating measures to correct this issue before the start of the World Cup. Additionally, it is expected that the innovative 'Aero-FIT' jerseys, designed to withstand high temperatures with special cooling technology, will be unveiled at this tournament.
