Less than a month after the debut of the Tricolor in Qatar 2022, it was learned that the Mexican National Team will not wear its second uniform in the group stage of the World Cup.
That’s right, in the group that it shares with Argentina, Poland and Saudi Arabia, The Mexican National Team would play the three matches of Group C of Qatar 2022 with the green jersey, the headline that the Adidas brand designed for the event.
The novelty is known when the selection that directs the Tata Martino adjusts the last details for its participation in a new World Cup.
“The green kit could be the one they wear in their three group stage games, since none of the starting uniforms of their rivals resembles that of the Tricolor”, publishes The universal This Tuesday, October 26.
The media highlights that the Adidas substitute kit, which is white with some details with pre-Hispanic designs, was very attractive to fans and many thought that it could dress the Mexican players in the FIFA Cup that begins on November 20.
For the German brand, it would not be good news because sales need to be boosted by product exposure in official matches.
The last time Mexico wore the green jersey in all three World Cup group stage games was 20 years ago, at Korea-Japan 2002.

Adidas in Qatar and until 2026 in the jersey of the Mexican National Team
In Qatar 2022, Mexico returns to its tricolor identity, as evidenced by the new Adidas shirt.
After the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Mexican Soccer Team broke off a commercial relationship with Nike, a brand that, until then, was the main sponsor of the Aztec team.
A year later, in 2007, Mexico signed a new contract with Adidas, this being the second stage in which the German brand sponsored the national team; the first stage had ended in 1990.
Initially, this new era with Adidas was going to end this 2022.
However, in 2019, the Mexican National Team and Adidas extended the contract until 2026, which means that for the 2026 World Cup in Mexico-United States-Canada, the tricolor team’s shirt will be worn with the traditional three stripes of the German brand.
It is speculated that with the renewal of 2019 the Mexican National Team pocketed about 142 million dollars.
It should be noted that this new clothing already has the new shield, the same one that was presented a few months ago.
Sales of national team products rise in World Cup years, generating profits of between 6 and 7 million pesos just for jerseys sold.
