River Plate 25-26 "Japan" Pre-Match Shirt

This is the new Adidas CA River Plate pre-match shirt for 2025-2026.

The Adidas River 25-26 'Japan' pre-match jersey features an all-over red and white design made up of manga-style comic panels, a direct nod to Japan’s globally beloved graphic art form.

Each panel showcases street scenes, Japanese lettering, and landmarks, including visual references to Yokohama and Japan. After winning the 2015 Copa Libertadores final, River played in the 2015 Japan Club World Cup in Yokohama - the new pre-match shirt celebrates River Plate's fans' support in Japan.

The club crest sits prominently on the left chest, opposite a bold black Adidas logo, maintaining River’s identity amidst the vibrant, chaotic background. The comic-strip pattern creates a visually dynamic aesthetic that’s both modern and culturally rich.

The River Plate 2025-26 'Japan' pre-match shirt features a panel design quite similar to the special Düsseldorf 24-25 Katana kit that Adidas released at the end of March.
