X-girl and AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies Unite for 2025/26 Season

In an exciting development for women's soccer, X-girl, a renowned streetwear brand operated by Beads International Co., Ltd., has been announced as the uniform supplier for AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies for the upcoming 2025/26 season. This collaboration marks X-girl’s return as a supplier since the inception of the WE League in the 2021/22 season, reinforcing the brand's commitment to supporting women's sports.

Design Concept

The design for the 2025/26 season uniforms draws inspiration from Nagano Prefecture's famous apples, integrating the playful essence of the “Apple Brothers®” trademark and the signature brush pattern that represents X-girl's style. The blend of vibrant, bold designs not only makes a fashion statement but also symbolizes the dynamic growth and aspirations of the club. The brush technique reflects vigor and motion, encapsulating the ambition for the club's development and the spirit of the players on the field.

Fabric and Functionality

The uniform is crafted from high-performance materials that offer exceptional moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, ensuring athletes remain dry during play. Additionally, the uniforms are equipped with UPF40 protection to shield players from harmful UV rays. The design prioritizes freedom of movement, incorporating patterns that enhance athletic performance while minimizing discomfort, particularly around the shoulder area to improve overall wearability.

Player Uniforms

The collection will comprise:

• - Field Player 1st and 2nd Kits
• - Goalkeeper 1st and 2nd Kits

This attention to detail ensures that each athlete can perform at their best while feeling comfortable and confident in their gear.
