"The home jersey is an iconic Canadian red featuring a big, stemless maple leaf in the middle. The position and shape of the leaf bears resemblance to the hockey jersey worn during the 1972 Summit Series. Unlike the aforementioned hockey jersey, the World Cup jersey is split down the middle and has a two-tone colour scheme, while a red pair of shorts complements the jersey."
"The away jersey is black, and features what looks like a white, craggy frost pattern. Look closely and the frost pattern forms maple leaves throughout the jersey. This jersey, along with a black pair of shorts, is worn when Team Canada plays outside of Canada."
"Every game we've played [in black] we've played pretty well. The black means something special to us. During the 2022 World Cup, Team Canada wore black jerseys during qualifying games which are well remembered by fans, including the game against Mexico in Edmonton which is referred to as 'The Battle of the Iceteca' by fans."
Team Canada revealed its first custom-made jerseys for a FIFA World Cup since 1986. The home jersey displays iconic Canadian red with a stemless maple leaf in the center, inspired by the 1972 Summit Series hockey jersey but featuring a split design with two-tone coloring and red shorts. The away jersey is black with a white frost pattern that forms maple leaves throughout, paired with black shorts. Both jerseys include a hidden shiny loonie decal in the collar. Team midfielder Richie Laryea expressed enthusiasm for the black jersey, noting the team performs well wearing it and that it holds special significance following memorable qualifying matches.
