Amman, May 18 (Petra) -- The Jordan Football Association (JFA) on Monday launched the national team's official jerseys for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, commemorating "Al-Nashama's" historic first-ever appearance in the global tournament.

The design of the new kits aims to tell a story of authentic identity deeply rooted in history, utilizing a visual framework inspired by prominent symbols of Jordanian culture to elevate the national identity on the global football stage.

The primary and secondary jerseys celebrate the symbolism of the traditional Jordanian *Shemagh* (headscarf) with its red and white patterned design. The pattern stands as a prominent icon of national identity linked to Jordanians in their daily lives, historically symbolizing pride, honor, and the determination that characterizes the national team. Meanwhile, the third jersey draws its design inspiration from the Black Iris, the national flower of Jordan, blending shades of purple and black in a visual composition that reflects the unity of the Jordanian people and their connection to nature and living national heritage.

The artistic dimensions of the kit extend to the typography of the numbers and letters, which are derived from the civilization of the Nabataeans and their historical contributions to the development of writing and culture. The font choice honors their spirit of defiance and initiative, and the construction of Petra as an enduring civilization carved into the rock of Jordan and the region paralleling the spirit and determination of the national team players in their historic 2026 World Cup campaign.

Blending heritage with modernity, the Nabataean steps carved into Jordan's mountains and rocks are integrated into the design to symbolize ascension, ambition, and the journey to the summit. This element is merged with modern, pixel-inspired digital block graphics to represent the intersection of authenticity and technology, yesterday and tomorrow, translating the aspirations of new generations who view the national team as an inspiration for overcoming challenges and embracing the future.

The jerseys were designed entirely by Jordanian hands, with designer Dania Al Lozi and typographer Hussein Al-Azaat collaborating to embed the Jordanian identity into the fine details of the garment. Their work transformed national and traditional symbols into a contemporary visual language that reflects deep belonging and athletic defiance, highlighting Jordanian cultural features through a modern, creative lens.

The kits will be available to consumers in multiple tiers, with the Fan Replica Version priced at JD27, the Official Player Version at JD60, and the Special Black Edition (Third Kit) at JD40.

Supporters wishing to purchase the jerseys can place orders online starting today, and the merchandise will be physically available at authorized retail outlets in one week, with international purchasing and shipping options available worldwide.
