Right sleeve: the standard black or white tournament badge. The light or dark version depends on the kit.
Left sleeve: the rotating round patch, starting with Unite for Peace in the group stage, then Football Unites the World and Unite for Education through the knockouts.
La Tri arrive at the 2026 World Cup still chasing a first world title, which means Ecuador carry the standard black or white "26" badge on the right sleeve — the gold colorway belongs only to former champions, and Ecuador are not among them. The bright yellow home shirt calls for the darker emblem for contrast, while the blue away kit typically flips to the lighter variant. Ecuador are drawn into Group E.
On the left sleeve, a rotating round patch marks each stage of the journey. The "Unite for Peace" design appears in the group stage, then new artwork takes its place as the knockout rounds begin. The table below details which patch applies to each round. These are aftermarket reproduction patches for the 2026 World Cup.
