The next international break will, among other things, enable most of the teams to showcase their new kits to the public. But in the case of Russia, this will have to wait.
The Eastern European team has categorically refused to play with the new kit presented by Adidas because of a flaw in the design. The sleeves of the shirt have the colours of the Russian flag inverted.
This situation has caused a lot of reactions on social media as the flag that appears on the sleeves of the Russian shirt is more similar to Serbia.
The German manufacturer has issued a statement in which it has apologized and states that it will fix the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
There were also harsh criticisms because of the shirt's quality, which was not up to the standards for many.
According to local media, Russian internationals also expressed their dissatisfaction with the shirt's design, particularly for Russia's matches to be hosted in Saint Petersburg.
