The capsule moves away from the usual football shirt format and applies each federation’s identity to an American baseball silhouette. Each jersey uses a full button-front construction, a loose fit, a curved hem and MLB-style detailing, creating a lifestyle piece rather than a match kit.
France gets a blue baseball jersey with Les Bleus details
The France edition keeps the national team’s familiar blue base, with red accents along the button placket and sleeves. The front features a large France crest treatment, while embroidered graphics add a more decorative, collector-style finish.
The design also includes a New York-inspired detail, with a Statue of Liberty crown graphic and the year 1886, referencing the monument gifted by France to the United States.
England and Australia complete the crossover drop
England’s version uses a red base and includes Three Lions branding, while Australia’s edition follows the country’s classic sporting identity with a dark green base and gold accents.
Together, the three jerseys form a small World Cup-era capsule built around the meeting point between football identity and American sports culture. With the tournament being played in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the MLB crossover gives Nike another way to connect national team branding with the host-country sports landscape.
The jerseys are limited-edition lifestyle releases, not match shirts, but they are clearly built around the same visual language that makes national team kits collectible during a World Cup.
