The jerseys of Jamaica are a sure thing Both the Home and Away jerseys are created in collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation
Since Wales Bonner designed the Jamaica national team jerseys for adidas in 2023 (also presenting them on the London Fashion Week runway), it’s as if she changed the history of the national team’s kits from that moment on, at least those made by adidas. The designer, now the menswear creative director of at Hermès, began to position the Jamaica national team jerseys not as mere sports uniforms, but as true fashion pieces, simultaneously imbued with history and Jamaican DNA. In doing so, she established an important aesthetic standard for both adidas and the national team, definitively moving away from the creative flatness that had characterized Jamaica’s previous technical partnership with Umbro, which lasted from 2018 to 2021/22.
Today, adidas and the Jamaica National Team present the home and away kits for 2026, which the team will wear during World Cup qualifiers, starting with the playoff matches in March on the 27th against New Caledonia. The jerseys were created in collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation, drawing inspiration from the aesthetic legacy of the global reggae icon.
The home jersey features adidas’ three stripes, positioned horizontally with a crochet effect, evoking the iconic hat in the colors of the Rastafarian flag that the artist often wore. The away jersey, traditionally dark since the beginning of the partnership between the national team and adidas, features a graphic design of circles and zigzags reminiscent of records, cassettes, and sound waves. At the base of the collar appears the signature of the Reggae Boyz and Reggae Girlz, in a font inspired by the iconic Tuff Gong record label, founded in 1970 by Bob Marley & The Wailers, adding another layer to the cultural narrative embedded in this collaboration.
