To celebrate the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> on Friday (June 12), New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is dropping Brooklyn-made soccer jerseys at an affordable price. <\/p>\n

Designed by Arsh Raziuddin and produced in partnership with the family-owned Brooklyn apparel studio Mazzi Sports, the jerseys are set to feature the retro-inspired graphics featured in the city\u2019s World Cup campaign, GQ reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The limited run-jerseys feature bold \u201cNew York City\u201d graphic, a small Pigeon, and a soccer ball. They come in three different colorways: black and white, black and yellow, and blue and orange.<\/p>\n

There will only be 1,500 of the jerseys available, 500 of each colorway, all produced by hand. It\u2019ll set NYC soccer fans back just $50, roughly a third of what an Adidas<\/a> or Nike<\/a> World Cup Kit costs. <\/p>\n

The jerseys will only be available in person starting Friday (June 12) at the NYC City Store.<\/p>\n

\u201cJerseys represent more than just the team you support,\u201d Mamdani said in a statement. \u201cThey are about pride in where you come from and who you are. With this limited run, we are offering New Yorkers an affordable jersey made for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers. I want to thank Mazzi for partnering with us to make sure that nobody is priced out of showing pride for our city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s office says it\u2019s working to make the 2026 World Cup as accessible to New Yorkers as possible with planned free fan events and watch parties, plus $50 tickets to games at MetLife Stadium. <\/p>\n

The World Cup will be hosted in cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Among the 16 host cities are New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Houston, Miami, and Vancouver. <\/p>\n

The Festivities officially kick off on Thursday (June 11). The U.S. national team\u2019s first game will take place Friday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To celebrate the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday (June 12), New York City Mayor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-263660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
