Breakwood Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Japan's soccer team wears blue as well. According to Wikipedia:Japan uses blue and white rather than red and white due to a superstition. In its first major international competition, the 1936 Summer Olympics, Japan used a blue kit in the match against Sweden and Japan won the match by a score of 3-2.Perhaps other Japanese teams just wanted to keep things consistent and use blue to build a brand and identity for Japanese sports at large.I'm surprised Japan doesn't use red. Red is a very popular color in Asia. If I remember correctly a couple years ago a Premier League team got an Asian sponsor and considered changing their color from blue to red because it was more popular in Asia.China wears Red. Japan would never in a million years wear something associated with China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Netherlands are using both M's and upside-down W's. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not for nothing, Japan has also won this tournament both times -- in 2006 and 2009 -- so I think navy will stay in the WBC, too. I'm surprised they changed anything, especially the wordmark on only one jersey... and cap. Not a fan of the full wordmark on the cap, but even less of a fan of the mixed wordmarks when they are wearing helmets with the blue jerseys. The old/home wordmark is on it.

dsaline97 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yes, and it was ugly. People were choking players out and punching them in the face, and a Mexico fan behind the Canada dugout threw a beer bottle at Canada's pitching coach's head.

ebstus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Could anybody please explain why some of the countries aren't using their national or flag colors in their uniforms?Like for example, Japan's colors should be red and white, yet they have blue in their set.Also, Italy is green, white and red. They have blue in their set.Would like some clarification here. Thanks.Italy's teams always wear blue; (see the Soccer team). It's color of the Italian House of Savoy I believe.
