Yeah the map is unique to us, but almost every other team with Nike is doing the same thing with their third kit.
Our away kit is using the same template as Roma and many other teams, too
The Roma example is the same silhouette, which lots of brands do, but fundamentally the design of our 3rd is unique to us... the map element is a theme across a number of their 3rd kits but they all mostly look different and individual.
Us vs Roma vs Chelsea all feature maps, but all in completely different ways. We also have a nod to the 85-87 Hummel chevrons on ours and a different colour top and bottom section of the shirt.
The grad on the home shirt, like it or not is unique to us, and to be honest, under armour used templates too, but there just weren’t as many teams that had their kit supplied by them and therefor didn’t feel as familiar/common.
Southampton even had the exact same template for their shirt the season after we used it for our two tone blue kit.
Nike for all the teams and nations that they supply are not going to reinvent the entire silhouette for each one x home, away and 3rd.
