Mexico always puts a lot of time into choosing its World Cup jerseys. After all, it is the biggest tournament in football, so it is only appropriate to dress to impress.

In July, the country unveiled its men’s men’s home kit. The Mexican Football Federation and Adidas announced the return of Mexico’s green jerseys. Now, the team has officially announced its away kit.

Before November comes along, let’s take a look at what we can expect this year from Mexico for its away jersey, as well as some history of the nation’s kits:

Mexico’s football team will be wearing jerseys of red and white for the 2022 World Cup. The jerseys will have heavy imagery and represent the country’s pre-Hispanic memory as well as its modern culture.

The jerseys will debut on Wednesday, Aug. 31, during the Mexico-Paraguay match at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. 

The jerseys will be also worn at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 24 when Mexico faces Peru, as well as when the club faces Colombia in Santa Clara, Calif. on Sept. 27.

The first time the jersey will be worn at the 2022 World Cup will be on Nov. 22, when Mexico begins group play against Poland.

Adidas is the official manufacturer of Mexico’s home and away kits. 

“An homage to Mexican culture – unmistakable the world over,” Adidas stated on its website. “Viva Mexico. Wear your heart on your chest in the Mexico jersey, and train in soccer gear that shows your team pride.”

These jerseys will be available to purchase on Monday, Aug. 29.

Last year, Mexico strutted a black and pink “Rosa Mexicano” style.

However, in 2022, Mexico will be showcasing green home jerseys that are set to emulate the 1958 World Cup. The color green is heavily rooted in Mexican football culture. And as aforementioned, the away jerseys will feature red and white, also representing the country’s ancient and modern culture.
