The FIFA Club World Cup final is eagerly anticipated as Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea FC prepare to face off at MetLife Stadium in New York City on July 13. This culmination of a month-long tournament, featuring teams from around the world, has not only showcased top-tier football but also brought attention to the unique and diverse jerseys on display.
Unlike the traditional World Cup, which focuses on national teams, the Club World Cup highlights the distinct regional styles of club football. From the retro collar designs of Palmeiras and Borussia Dortmund to the DIY and upcycled creations of brands like Frankie Collective, the tournament has been a melting pot of sartorial creativity.
Frankie Collective, based in Los Angeles, has been at the forefront of upcycling sports jerseys into trendy pieces like tanks, bikinis, and cropped tees. Their club-specific gear has been a hit among fans attending the games in L.A. Daria Y Maria, known for their upcycled jersey dresses worn by celebrities like Katseye and Christina Aguilera, noted the increasing presence of soccer jerseys in fashion, especially with the dual World Cup events in the United States.
UnwantedFC, another brand making waves in the upcycling scene, repurposes discarded jerseys into stylish bags and hats. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, soccer kit style is set to become a major trend once again, blending national pride and fashion in stadiums across the U.S. As more brands emerge in this space, the intersection of soccer and style is poised to take center stage.
Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving world of soccer fashion as we gear up for the excitement of the upcoming World Cup events.
