7 Shocking Details About The New Colombia National Team Jersey For Copa América 2024
The roar of the 'Cafeteros' is set to be louder than ever in the upcoming tournaments, and they will do so with a completely redesigned, bold new look. The official new Colombia National Team jersey, launched by Adidas and the Federación Colombiana de Fútbol (FCF), is more than just a uniform; it's a powerful symbol of rebirth and ambition for the Copa América 2024 and the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. As of today, December 21, 2025, this kit has been confirmed as the official attire for the men's and women's national teams, marking a new era of Colombian football.
This latest collection has sparked massive curiosity among fans globally, moving far beyond the traditional yellow to introduce a concept steeped in mythology and a significant historical nod. From an unexpected color choice for the away kit to cutting-edge technology designed for elite performance, here are the seven most crucial and surprising details you need to know about the new Colombia jersey.
The Phoenix Rises: A Mythology-Inspired Design for a Glorious Future
The core concept behind the new 2024 Colombia jersey is the mythical Phoenix. This powerful inspiration is woven into the fabric of both the home and away kits, symbolizing renewal, a glorious football future, and the team's relentless spirit.
Adidas, the official kit manufacturer, worked closely with the FCF to capture a design that moves beyond mere national colors. The Phoenix concept reflects the team's desire to rise to new heights in the global arena, particularly as they focus on securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
The design elements are subtle yet striking. The patterns on the jersey are meant to evoke the powerful, sweeping motion of the mythical bird's wings, representing energy in motion and the rich tapestry of Colombian culture.
1. The Home Kit: A Bold Twist on the Traditional Yellow
The Home Jersey remains true to the iconic Yellow color, a source of national pride and passion. However, the 2024 version introduces a dynamic, fresh aesthetic.
The bold yellow base is complemented by striking design accents. Notably, the sides of the jersey feature subtle stripes with an orange-toned hue, a slight departure from the traditional red and blue trim.
In a fascinating historical tribute, the design is also a modern redrawing and interpretation of the 1945 uniform, a deep cut from the archives of Colombian football history. This fusion of mythical inspiration with a historical nod creates a truly unique piece of memorabilia for fans.
Star players like Luis Díaz and captain James Rodríguez will be seen wearing this vibrant kit as they lead the charge in the Copa América 2024 tournament.
2. The Shocking Away Kit: Colombia Embraces Black
Perhaps the most talked-about feature of the new collection is the Away Jersey. Breaking from recent tradition, the official away kit is primarily Black.
This is a significant and bold choice, giving the 'Cafeteros' a powerful, intimidating look on the road. The black base is contrasted with striking grey/black lines across the chest, which form part of the overall Phoenix-inspired design motif.
The decision to use black is seen by many as a statement of intent—a dark horse rising to challenge opponents. This kit will be worn by all categories, including the highly successful Women's National Team, featuring stars like Linda Caicedo.
3. Elite Performance Technology: HEAT.RDY vs. AEROREADY
The new jersey is engineered with Adidas's most advanced sportswear technology, ensuring peak performance for the players and maximum comfort for the fans.
- Player/Authentic Version: HEAT.RDY. This is the top-tier technology worn by the athletes on the pitch. HEAT.RDY is specifically designed to keep the skin cool, dry, and comfortable in high-pressure, hot environments, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of the Copa América 2024 and the intense 2026 World Cup Qualifiers matches.
- Fan/Replica Version: AEROREADY. While not explicitly stated for the fan version of the home/away kit, the Anniversary jersey features AEROREADY, which is the standard Adidas technology for replica kits. This technology focuses on moisture-wicking properties, ensuring fans stay dry and comfortable while cheering from the stands.
4. The FCF Centenary: A Bonus Anniversary Kit
Adding a layer of historical significance, the launch includes a special Centenary Jersey to celebrate 100 years of the FCF (Federación Colombiana de Fútbol).
This bonus kit is a stylish, lifestyle-focused piece, predominantly White with a design that revives the original look from the early days of the Colombian national team. It features a cut-and-sewn chest bar in the national flag colors, a beautiful homage to the team’s long history. The squad, coached by Néstor Lorenzo, even debuted this Centenary kit in a match against Chile.
5. The Official Price Tag: How Much Does the Kit Cost?
For dedicated supporters, the official prices for the new 2024 kits have been confirmed by Adidas in Colombia (COP - Colombian Peso):
- Fan/Replica Jersey: The standard version for supporters is priced at $349,950 COP.
- Player/Authentic Jersey: The high-performance version with HEAT.RDY technology is priced at $499,950 COP.
These prices reflect the premium quality, advanced technology, and official licensing of the new Adidas collection, making the Authentic version a significant investment for the most devoted fans.
6. A Kit for All: Unifying Men's and Women's Teams
A key aspect of this launch is the unifying nature of the uniform. The new home and away jerseys will be worn by all categories of the Colombian national teams—both the men's squad and the women's squad.
This is a powerful statement of equality and support, ensuring that all athletes representing Colombia on the international stage, from the Copa América to the Women's World Cup cycle, share the same visual identity and the same Phoenix-inspired ambition.
7. The Road to 2026: The Jersey's Ultimate Goal
While the immediate focus is the Copa América 2024, the new uniform is fundamentally the kit for the entire cycle leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Every match played in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers will see the team donning this new attire. The symbolic Phoenix design serves as a constant reminder of the ultimate goal: to rise from the ashes of past disappointments and secure a glorious return to the world's biggest football stage. The jersey is a visual representation of the national team's renewed focus, energy, and commitment to success under coach Lorenzo's guidance.
