Laban Filipinas

The long wait is almost over.

With fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup, one that includes the Philippines for the very first time, adidas is set to make available the team kit of the Philippines Senior Women's National Team.

First revealed back in mid-May, reservations for the three kit colorways are now officially available by registering at filipinasjerseyreservation.com. Upon checking the site, one can just fill the information needed before making the reservation.

adidas also has entered into a partnership with BOOTCAMP for those based overseas and are interested in purchasing the kits. Details regarding how one can avail of the kits through them will be made known soon on their platforms.

Senior Women's National Team Manager Jefferson Cheng shares, "We are thrilled to introduce our association with adidas as we have our Filipinas take on the Women’s World Cup for the first time, and we feel the same excitement in seeing the adidas’ Filipinas kit come to life. As the Philippine national women’s football team and adidas become one with the mantra of Impossible Is Nothing, we will always be proud of and be in full support towards the Filipinas as they continue to grow and serve as inspirations to the Filipino football scene."

adidas Philippines General Manager Anthony Frangos adds, "At adidas, we live and breathe by the mantra of Impossible is Nothing, and the Filipinas are the group that best embodies this mindset. The Filipinas FIFA Women’s World Cup kits were designed by adidas with their rich journey in mind, and we hope this serves not just as an inspiration to the Filipino community as they rally behind our Filipinas, but also to the team itself as they take on the global stage for the Women’s World Cup."

For those who have yet to see the kits, adidas designed three colorways that are chock full of tributes to our homeland, one that would honor the growth of the Filipinas and serve as an inspiration for future Filipino footballers regardless of gender.

The home kit is in blue or Bughaw and is dubbed as "Sipag at Tiyaga." It is adorned with the adidas’ iconic three stripes across the pieces, with its collar striped in red and white. This colorway represents the calm perseverance of our Filipinas throughout their road to the Women’s World Cup, and their journey of tackling obstacles with sportsmanship. It also serves to symbolize inspiration for the new wave of Filipino footballers, especially those striving to represent the country with pride.

The away kit is in white or Puti and is dubbed as "Ang Bagong Yugto." It comes with three blue stripes and a collar decked in white and yellow. It symbolizes the Filipinas’ fresh and determined start as they take on the Women’s World Cup for the first time and elevate the sport to new heights among the Filipino community and paving the way for a new era of football. The vibrant patterns also align with the dynamic mix of players within the team, composed of diverse members who come together united for a common goal.

The third kit comes in red or Pula and is dubbed as, "Alab Ng Puso." Loud and bold, it also comes with the brand’s three stripes and a matching pair of blue and white for the collar. This colorway is a suitable parallel to the Filipinas’ fiery passion and unbridled courage as they compete for the country, regardless of the odds, with an unwavering work ethic.

All three colorways are made with adidas AEROREADY, managing moisture while providing comfort; 100% recycled polyester Interlock that gives the gear a hydrophilic finish; and mesh inserts placed on the sleeves and shoulders for breathability. It utilizes a short-sleeve cut and a sublimated front panel print, as well as a ribbed round neckline and cuff. adidas's iconic three stripes are seen across the kits’ shoulder area, next to an embroidered adidas Badge of Sport logo and the Philippine Football Federation’s logo.

Completing the badges on the kits is the Philippine flag located across the left shoulder and the waistband, and the sun symbol at the back of each jersey.

Expect the Filipinas to also use the kits on their upcoming competitions later this year.

Aside from the kits, adidas also has produced hyperlocal merchandise that has the new Filipinas seal, which they also designed. The new logo is derived from the sampaguita and sports the four colors of the flag: yellow, red, white, and blue.

These items, ranging from a hoodie, sweatshirt, t-shirts, and a cap, are already available at the six major adidas outlets: the Brand Center in Glorietta, Two Parkade at BGC, Trinoma, Uptown Mall, Ayala Bay, and the Venice Grand Canal Mall.
