The shirt is in the traditional blue with a rising sun textured design behind the crest and a flash of a bright red tone across the back. This detail acts a part of a circle of unity, displayed as a whole by the team as they hunch into a huddle. According to adidas: The concept of this brand new uniform for the Japan National Football Team is “ENJIN (i.e., the act of ‘going into a huddle’)”: the uniform is an expression of the strong determination as the players and the supporters realise that now is the time to unite as one and go into a huddle (“ENJIN”) to get ready for the battle ahead.
