AFC Youth Championship[]

  • Home: White jersey with blue collar, three blue stripes on the shoulders and three blue diagonal stripes around the sleeves and blue numbers, white shorts with three blue stripes and white socks with three blue stripes. The captain armband, worn by Tsubasa, is initially blue with a white horizontal stripe on the center, worn during the matches against Chinese Taipei and Thailand. Later, during the Asian Youth Championship, he wears a yellow armband with the flag of Japan.
  • Keeper (Wakabayashi): Purple jersey with the side panels of a darker shade of purple with three white diagonal stripes present also on the sleeves, black round collar, black shoulder sections and black long trousers. Wakabayashi wears a white cap with "JAPAN" written on the front. This uniform resembles an Adidas goalkeeper shirt design of the 1992-94 seasons, similar to the one worn by Peter Rufai for Nigeria at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
  • Keeper (Wakashimazu): Light blue shirt with yellow collar and yellow raglan sleeves, with magenta collar and black tribal designs on the sleeves and on the chest, black trousers and white socks. The shirt seems to be a modified version of the 1995-96 Yokohama Flugels goalkeeper jerseys. This uniform was worn by Wakashimazu during the match against Iraq Youth.
    • In the game BFB Champions 2.0, this uniform, as worn by Wakashimazu was rendered as green with darker green raglan sleeves, black collar, red tribal designs on the sleeves, black trousers and white socks.
      • On the Volume 4 and Volume 11 covers of the manga, Wakashimazu is shown to wear a multicolored shirt with a light blue, red, white and black camouflage-like blot pattern, black collar, white number on the back and black sleeve cuffs, similar to a design worn by most J-League goalkeepers in the 1993-94 season). This was also the training uniform worn by Wakashimazu while he played in J-League.
  • Keeper (Morisaki): Dark violet or Golden long-sleeved jersey with black collar and black sleeve cuffs, black shorts and white socks. He wore the dark violet variant against Chinese Taipei, while the yellow one was worn against China.
  • Keeper (Sasaki): Black shirt with dark green polo collar, dark green raglan sleeves and dark green horizontal section under the chest and the Japanese flag on the left side of the chest, black shorts and white socks. It is essentially the All Japan Jr. Youth manga goalkeeper uniform.
  • Tracksuit: Blue jacket with white chest and a red thin horizontal line under the chest, with the Flag of Japan as emblem, blue sleeves and blue trousers. Masao Tachibana wore the tracksuit jacket over his uniform when he played as goalkeeper against Real Japan 7.

  • Home: Blue jersey with white collar with red accents, white and red flames on the sleeves and JFA logo on the chest, white shorts with red and blue flames and blue socks with white stripe on top with red accents. The captain armband is red with the Flag of Japan.
  • Away: White shirt with blue collar with red accents, blue and red flames on the sleeves and JFA logo, blue shorts with red and white flames and white socks with blue stripe on top with red accents. Worn in the match against Italy.
  • Keeper (Wakashimazu): Green jersey with black collar, sleeve cuffs and lines, top sections of the socks and horizontal lines on the shorts' edges with blue, light blue and red flames on the chest, sleeves and on the sides of the shorts.

The three uniforms mentioned above resemble the uniforms worn by Japan between 1996 and 1997 in real life.

  • Keeper (Wakabayashi): Silver jersey with black collar and black lines running from the sleeves to the sides and black long trousers. This is similar to a 1997 Uhlsport goalkeeper kit design, which was also sported by Hamburger SV during the 1997-98 Bundesliga season.
