Same brand, same era — different teams
The 2010 Japan home jersey, manufactured by Adidas, remains an iconic symbol of the Blue Samurai's resurgence on the global stage. Featuring a striking, deep blue design with a subtle, graphic feather pattern inspired by the Yatagarasu—the three-legged crow from Japanese mythology—this kit captured the imagination of football fans worldwide during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Under the guidance of Takeshi Okada, Japan defied expectations, advancing from a difficult group stage with clinical performances. The tournament is best remembered for Keisuke Honda’s thunderous free-kicks and the team's disciplined, high-pressing style that pushed eventual semi-finalists Paraguay to a dramatic penalty shootout in the Round of 16. This jersey represents a pivotal era for Japanese football, marking the moment the nation truly established itself as a formidable force in international competition. Its clean aesthetic, combined with the memories of Japan's heroic defensive displays and tactical brilliance, makes this kit a highly sought-after treasure for collectors and fans of classic football history.
