Few kits in football history are as instantly recognisable as Perus 1978 World Cup jersey a crisp white canvas slashed with that bold, diagonal red sash. Though the team didnt make it past the group stage that year, the look became an icon.
Now, adidas is reviving that legendary design as part of its ongoing "Bring Back" retro series and it's a beauty.
Following their recent drops celebrating Argentinas 50th anniversary kit and Colombias centenary, adidas now turns the spotlight on La Blanquirroja.
The capsule, titled "Bring Back del 78", revives the long-sleeved version of Perus 78 jersey in faithful detail: the sash is sharp, the silhouette clean and the adidas Originals trefoil logo proudly sits on the chest a nod to the era it came from.
The release doesnt stop at the shirt. Also included are matching red track tops and bottoms, each lined with adidas signature three stripes and featuring Perus retro crest elevating the look into a full heritage-inspired fit.
To celebrate the launch, adidas brought legends and rising stars together. 1978 heroes like Hctor Chumpitaz and Tefilo Cubillas join forces with current national figures Paolo Guerrero, Mafer Reyes, Flavia Montes, Ian Wisdom, and Fabiola Herrera in a symbolic celebration of Peruvian footballs enduring legacy.
Its more than a jersey its a bridge across generations, a wearable piece of history and a sharp-looking tribute to La Blanquirrojas past.
The "Bring Back del 78" collection is available now at prodirectsport.com.
