Japan National Team Home Shirt 1998

Japan's 1998 World Cup shirt — the first ever worn at a World Cup by the Japanese national team. France 98 marked Japan's debut on the world football stage. The Asics-produced blue shirt with the JFA badge and the distinctive geometric pattern represents the birth of Japanese football culture as a global phenomenon. The J-League had only been founded in 1993. Original player-issue 1998 shirts: ¥20,000–¥80,000.
