Athletic competition has often found popularity and widespread interest and with that, so have athletic apparel designs. As a result, athletics has a strong influence on people's lives and the way people express themselves. This has often been seen in the world of fashion. One prominent example would be the runway that was put on by adidas and Major League Soccer — it focused on soccer jerseys as a symbol of pride and community.
Other examples of culturally informed athletic apparel designs include the kit in that the New Zealand All Blacks will wear at the upcoming Rugby World Cup. The design is informed by Māori influences and features a lightweight design.
Lastly, the Manchester United soccer club has adopted a nostalgic look. The jersey design is inspired by the club's history, taking much of its design from the 1998 — the year that the club won three trophies.
