This is the new 2021-22 Iraq national team away shirt by Umbro.
For the white away jersey the graphic of the Babylon palm tree has been enhanced with Assyrian rosettes. These small flower symbols were commonly used in art originating from the ancient kingdom of Assyria.
This shirt also features a V-neck, this time in teal, as well as repeat-diamond taping in the same colour around the cuff of the sleeve.

The design is also signed off with “Iraq” in Kufic, a traditional Arabic script, on the back.
The Away shirt is inspired by ancient Mesopotamian symbols that have represented this culture for many thousands of years. Mesopotamia is a historical region situated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system and is the world’s oldest recorded civilization. Present day Iraq emerged from this area that is often also called the “cradle of civilisation”.
