When was this?

Why would the CSA have to request new kits for the World Cup? All the manufacturers want the teams they equip at the World Cup to be in new designs. As I said previously, it also seems unlikely that NIKE would not pre-book production facilities and suppliers based on teams that could still qualify especially since the bookings would have been made long before qualification was finished in Europe.

Sadly, it is is possible, but what an embarrassment for NIKE that would be. Total incompetence from such a large manufacturer seems so unlikely.

Although it was several years ago, having dealt with them as a supplier for several years, I can tell you that described Nike to a tee.

Ain't Nike going to introduce there Kits at the end of September ?. I have only seen the USA Kits leaked and they are not all that great. 

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that their W/C jerseys were not a very big hit with their fans.

Question for those of you that already have the current national team jersey - how is the fit? Wondering whether I need to order a size up if the fit is on the small size.

[vancanman]

Not my cup of tea, but a huge improvement from the camouflage-y thing Japan's been wearing.

Their 2018 WC uniform was damn near perfect.

Should Canada change its jersey for Qatar? NO!

Should Canada change it’s jersey  after Qatar? YES!

For sure it will need a little gold trophy or star on the collar

Size up for sure - they fight tight.

it's even safe to say double size up.

I like my jerseys fitted when I'm playing. But a little loose if its fan wear/street wear

I really liked that kit of Japan's.

I think this one is good to.

A bunch of Nike kits for the World Cup just leaked. Canada nowhere to be found. https://news.sportslogos.net/2022/09/12/a-dozen-new-national-team-kits-leak-includes-eight-2022-world-cup-designs/soccer/

Notably, several non-WC Nike nations got new kits, too.

Turkey has our jersey. You can envision a maple leaf.

.....and yoo they went hard for Nigeria again, too bad they are not at the WC 🙃. I wonder if their sales will remain the same.

You got my attention

Yes, shame they botched it against Ghana. Big miss for them considering all the offensive talent. 

I doubt people are going to be buying tons of jerseys now, but we'll see. Every time they qualify all the Nigerians I know cop the new editions, but I would be surprised to see that this time around.

Really can't believe a world cup kit won't be made for us. Does the association not like making money?

In fairness this seems to be a Nike issue. Personally I don't understand why it takes an 18 month lead time to get a new kit ready

18 months for a template. As if their shit isn’t made in China, or Thailand or whatever  cents paying country.

We basically knew by end of November last year that we were headed to the World Cup.

Nike sucks. I'm not buying any of their excuses here. They simply didn't try hard enough.

These large companies are lazy. When we do end up getting a new jersey in 2023 I bet it will be off the same templates they used at this World Cup.

As far as I can tell, Canada is the only team at Qatar that will not have a new kit. Did Nike predict every other team other than us to make the World Cup? I don’t understand how that’s possible unless I’m missing something.

Part of the issue is probably the fact that the CSA didn't put enough pressure on Nike to make this happen.

Most teams get a new jersey every couple of years anyway.

If you don't make the World Cup you can still use that as your new jersey 

[canadave]

The weirdest and most frustrating thing about this is that Nike already designed a special kit for the women. And it's great. They can't even manage to use that design?? Somehow slapping the badge on a plain red template is the only option for the men.

Canada getting ethered (as the kids say) for this "drop" 

 

[narduch]

They are selling the black with Davies name and number for $250!

[red card]

Canada is getting new shorts for Qatar.

Nike's official answer for no Canada World Cup kits: Canada Soccer is on a different kit development cycle.
