Notes

edit
  1. ↑ From 1977 to April 1985, various kits of one design were used and replaced, but kits of various deisgns were worn continuously, making virtually impossible to distinguish uniform designs by period.
  2. ↑ Since the match against Japan on 15 June 1977, South Korea wore red shorts until 1993.
  3. ↑ In September 1993, in sight of the 1994 World Cup qualifiers, South Korea changed its uniform to a new one with a colorful pattern, supposedly following the trend at the time.[1]
  4. ↑ a b At the end of 1995, the contract with Rapido ended and a new one was signed with Nike. The kits were designed and supplied by Rapido and debuted in the match against Saudi Arabia on October 31, 1995. After signing the contract with Nike, South Korea still played friendly matches and the qualifiers for the 1996 Summer Olympics with the same kit as before, with the only difference being Rapido's logo being covered by a makeshift patch with the Nike logo. Since there was no official match played with the away kit, it is unknown whether if was designed by Rapido.
  5. ↑ a b According to designer Tomoko Bando, who designed Nike's first kits for South Korea, the kit was inspired by the Taegukgi. This kit was first worn by the Olympic team in the match against Colombia on July 8, 1996. At the 1996 Asian Cup, the shirt numbers changed from black to white, as well as being made with a shiny fabric. In Japan, this specific kit was referred to as the "Coca-Cola Kit" (コカコーラ･ユニフォーム) due to the kit pattern's similarity with the Coca-Cola wave.[2] In the 1996–97 season, during the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the South Korean team didn't wear the blue away kit in any of the matches after their defeat against Iran in the w:1996 AFC Asian Cup, where the kit was worn.
  6. ↑ a b For four years, there were no changes to the basic design, but minor changes were made between 2000 and 2001.
  7. ↑ a b c These were the first kits to bear the KFA emblem in the left chest of the jersey, rather than the Taegukgi. In the 2002 World Cup, almost all of the Nike-sponsored teams had the jerseys in a fluorescent tint, resulting in the South Korean kits being made in a shade of red closer to pink.
  8. ↑ In the second group stage match against Bolivia at the 1994 World Cup, the South Korean team combined the white shirts worn against Spain with the rest of the blue away kit.
  9. ↑ At the 2004 Olympics and at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship, South Korea wore an all-red combination for the first time in 12 years.
  10. ↑ Used in the 2006 World Cup qualifying match against Vietnam.
  11. ↑ Used in the 2006 World Cup group stage match against France.
  12. ↑ Used in the 2006 World Cup group stage match against Switzerland.
  13. ↑ Used at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
  14. ↑ Used at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
  15. ↑ Used in the 2010 World Cup round of 16 match against Uruguay.
  16. ↑ Used in 3 matches at the 2011 Asian Cup.
  17. ↑ Used in the friendly match against Croatia (6 February 2013).
  18. ↑ Used since the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Iran at home.[3]
  19. ↑ Used in the 2018 World Cup qualifying match against Uzbekistan.
  20. ↑ Used in the friendly match against Morocco (10 October 2017).
