Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Brooklyn-based Mazzi Sports have teamed up to release a trio of New York City soccer jerseys timed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, priced at roughly $50 each and available in three colorways: black and white, taxi-cab yellow and black, and a blue with orange-leaning red. The jerseys were designed by Arsh Raziuddin and produced in limited quantities for fans across the five boroughs.
The 2026 World Cup is being co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, making it the first edition to span three countries. New York City is one of the host markets, and the city has built a broader campaign around access and affordability, including discounted MetLife Stadium tickets and free watch parties. These jerseys are one piece of that effort, positioned as an alternative to the premium pricing of official tournament kits from major sportswear brands. At roughly $50, they sell at cost, which Mayor Mamdani described to GQ as a way to ensure nobody gets priced out of cheering for their city.
Mazzi Sports is a family-owned apparel studio with deep roots in New York. Alexander Campaz founded the operation after beginning his career making jerseys in Colombia in the 1970s. He emigrated to New York in 1983, and the shop moved through Queens, Manhattan, and East New York before landing in its current home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The studio’s durability is part of what makes it a fitting partner for a city-pride project. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mazzi pivoted its production line to manufacturing roughly 20,000 medical gowns per week, demonstrating the kind of community-focused flexibility that now shows up in this collaboration. Many of the same workers who produced those gowns worked on the mayor’s jerseys.
The design language on all three colorways is built around New York iconography. A soccer-ball Big Apple sits over the heart, a pigeon perches on the opposite side, the words NEW YORK CITY run across the chest, and 26 appears on the back. The graphics match the city’s broader World Cup campaign visuals. The blue, white, and orange-red option works across allegiances, reading as a nod to the Knicks, the Mets, or the United States Men’s National Team depending on the occasion.
The run is strictly limited. Each colorway is capped at 500 pieces, for a total of 1,500 jerseys, all made by hand at Mazzi’s Bed-Stuy factory. They are available in person only, starting at 9 a.m. on June 12, at the NYC City Store located at One Centre Street. There is no online option listed. If you want to explore more of what Mazzi Sports produces out of Brooklyn, their work is worth following as a rare example of domestic, community-rooted jersey manufacturing still operating at the neighborhood level.
