The kits worn for the 1992 Asian Cup consisted of white stripes (stylized to form a wing) with red diamonds. During the 1996 Asian Cup and the 1998 World Cup, the national team kits were blue jerseys with red and white flame designs on the sleeves, and were designed by JFA (with the sponsor alternating each year between Asics, Puma, and Adidas). The 1996 design was reproduced in a special kit used against <a href="/wiki/Syria_national_football_team" title="Syria national football team">Syria</a> on 7 June 2017. Japan uses blue and white rather than red and white due to a superstition. Japan first used blue shirts in the <a href="/wiki/1930_Far_Eastern_Championship_Games" title="1930 Far Eastern Championship Games">1930 Far Eastern Championship Games</a>, where a team of the <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_Imperial_University" class="mw-redirect" title="Tokyo Imperial University">Tokyo Imperial University</a> (whose color is light blue) represented Japan wearing light blue shirts,<a href="#cite_note-98">[97]</a> and then in a match against <a href="/wiki/Sweden_men%27s_national_football_team" title="Sweden men's national football team">Sweden</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Football_at_the_1936_Summer_Olympics" title="Football at the 1936 Summer Olympics">1936 Summer Olympics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-The_Wichita_Eagle-99">[98]</a> Between 1988 and 1992, the kits were red and white, matching the colours of Japan's national flag. After failing to qualify for the <a href="/wiki/1990_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification" title="1990 FIFA World Cup qualification">1990 World Cup</a> and <a href="/wiki/Football_at_the_1992_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_Asian_Qualifiers" title="Football at the 1992 Summer Olympics – Men's Asian Qualifiers">1992 Summer Olympics</a>, the red shirt was scrapped. In the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2015 Asian Cup, Japan temporarily switched the colour of the numbers from white to gold. Japan's kit is provided by German company <a href="/wiki/Adidas" title="Adidas">Adidas</a>, the team's exclusive kit supplier since April 1999.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> Before that, <a href="/wiki/ASICS" class="mw-redirect" title="ASICS">Asics</a> and <a href="/wiki/Puma_AG" class="mw-redirect" title="Puma AG">Puma</a> had been the team's official apparel sponsor.

The text "JFA" (for the Japan Football Association) is inscribed at the bottom of the crow. A red stripe is also present at the center of the shield behind the crow.

The text "Japan" is absent and "JFA" is written in a different typeface.<a href="#cite_note-soccer365-102">[101]</a> Before 1988, Japan used the <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_Japan" title="Flag of Japan">national flag</a> outlined in red (and with JFA written in black on the lower left corner of the flag) on the shirts. The Yatagarasu was first seen on the Japan shirts in 1988, where it was on a yellow circle with a blue outline with "JAPAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION" written around it. In 1991, the emblem changed to a white shield with a red vertical stripe on the center with the crow on it and "JFA" written in a green <a href="/wiki/Blackletter" title="Blackletter">Gothic typeface</a>.
