The players even refused to play a friendly match against Panama, but returned to action last Friday meet in Vienna with Qatar. The Canadians quickly scored two goals in 13 minutes, but in the background of the second of them there was again a protest. This time it’s the local team’s kit supplier – Nike. Jonathan David, himself sponsored by Adidas, after score a goal at 2:0 he covered the Nike logo, which recognized that Canada won’t go up world Cup new kits because “Canadian football has a different kit development cycle.”

According to RMC Sport, Nike did not previously expect Canada to advance to the World Cup, and the kit development process could take up to 18 months. It looks like Canada will be the only team at the World Cup to play in unchanged uniforms. Nike will outfit all 15 teams playing in Qatar, and on September 15 the company revealed up to 13 of the 15 kits.

Confusion of Canada T-shirts. Not only dissatisfied David

According to the Daily Mail, Nike has confirmed in an official statement that Canada will play in the shirts they have been wearing since June 2021. – Canada’s 2022 kit will be the same as the team has worn for the past year . The kits are highlighted by Canada’s traditional red and white colors and are enhanced by the Canadian federation crest with the maple leaf, the country’s most recognizable symbol, it reads.

Not only Jonathan David is unhappy with the manufacturer’s decision. His team-mate Sam Adekugbe shares the same opinion, who told The Athletic he wasn’t happy about it either: “I just think every team should get a new kit for the World Cup because it’s a symbolic event”, concluded the protector.
