Mexico won the 2026 World Cup with this work jacket It has been created by Mauro Garfias

The 2026 World Cup is drawing ever closer and, while all eyes are on the United States—both for sporting reasons and for political issues that could have a major impact on the tournament—it is Mexico that is capturing the attention of the fashion world. After an initial adidas collection celebrating the country’s national aesthetic, including a suede leather jacket and a zip-up hoodie inspired by luchador motifs, a new piece is now driving collectors crazy.

The piece in question is a jacket created by designer Mauro Garfias, a member of the 12crew collective. The garment perfectly reflects Garfias’ style, known for his reworks that merge and reimagine garments through deconstruction and the combination of fabrics, creating new silhouettes while preserving a classic and elegant aesthetic. This work jacket features adidas’ trefoil logo, combining two shades of green with red cuffs and collar, and also has the current logo of the Mexican Football Federation stitched onto it. However, it does not appear to be an officially authorized adidas product and, as a result, it is unlikely to ever be released on the market.

Excitement around the piece was amplified by the way it was first presented publicly. The first person to wear it was Samuel García, Governor of the state of Nuevo León, who showed it off at a rally and later during a construction site inspection, even pairing it with a safety helmet to emphasize the workwear aesthetic. García later posed in an official photo alongside two other politicians, Jorge Luis Máynez and Luis Donaldo Colosio, both also wearing the jacket. The images perfectly highlighted the style of Garfias’ creation, placing it immediately in a natural, unforced setting rather than a traditional fashion photoshoot. A move that effectively earns the Mexican designer the first win of the 2026 World Cup.
