In order to prepare for the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the Japanese Football Association recently unveiled the new team uniform of the Japanese national football team. However, some Korean media questioned that Japan's new team uniform was like a military uniform. Korean media said that the pattern on this team uniform would be reminiscent of a military uniform.
According to Japan's Asahi Shimbun website reported on the 6th, the design concept of this dress is' clear sky for thousands of miles', which is intended to show that the sky that players and fans look up to and their heads gradually become the same blue sky. Its design inspiration mainly comes from the traditional Japanese ukiyo painting, which is painted with patterns superimposed by five different concentrations of blue. On the day of release, Japanese footballer Katsuya Fujita served as a display model. The kit will be used for the first time in the match held in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan on the 10th. The opponent on that day is South Africa.
According to the Japanese sports website 'football zone' reported on the 7th, after the appearance of the new team uniform of the Japanese team, the Korean media also responded quickly. South Korean sports website 'sportal Korea' said: 'at first glance, (camouflage patterns on clothes) will remind people of military uniforms'.
As early as October 21, when some Japanese media disclosed the design details of this new team uniform in advance, South Korea's "Herald economic news" commented on this: "adopt & lsquo; Military appearance & rsquo; It is very unusual to design the official uniform of the national team. Although the dress is based on the blue traditionally used in Japan, it will be reminiscent of military uniform after adding black and white.
The newspaper further pointed out: "recently, Japan has allowed & lsquo; as a symbol of Militarism; Rising sun flag & rsquo; In the Tokyo Olympic Games, to wear team uniforms reminiscent of 'military uniforms' will make (Koreans) worry about' whether they want to show militarist ambitions'.
However, some Japanese media pointed out that in Japan, camouflage patterns are considered to be a very fashionable design, and the concept of the new uniform is also 'clear sky thousands of miles', which is not a big problem.
