New: adidas just dropped the FIFA World Cup 26 Away Jerseys

If this doesn’t get you excited for FIFA World Cup 2026, I don’t know what will. While the home kits dropped back in November 2025, adidas just unveiled the official away kits for all 25 partner federations, including 13 that are qualified for this year’s World Cup.

This year’s away jerseys reinterpret classic adidas FIFA WORLD CUP aesthetics – geometric patterns and stylized vertical lines – done in a modern, contemporary style that resonates with fans and athletes alike. For the first time in 36 years, the adidas Trefoil makes its return on the game’s biggest stage. The Trefoil, the brand’s mark of originality is printed onto the right side of each chest. The kits pay homage to the football culture of the 90s but reimagined for the demands of today’s athlete.

Every jersey tells its own nation’s story with subtle references to unique landscapes, significant dates, art, and architecture, all crafted with best-in-class technologies to balance historic and contemporary design.

Sam Handy, GM Football at adidas said: “As we approach an immense World Cup, travelling across three incredible host nations, we felt it was a fitting and inspired moment to bring the trefoil back to the biggest stage in world football. This is a defining era of football culture. Its style travels more walks of life and pockets of sub-culture than ever before, and the jersey is perhaps the truest representation of this. With that, these designs pay homage to each country, while offering all fans a catalogue of football designs that comfortably transcend the pitch and the stands.”

Each jersey from the range is built to support the players from all federations through the varying conditions across each of the three host nations (US, Mexico, and Canada). For the warm-weather conditions, body-mapped 3D engineered mechanical stretch fabrics feature CLIMACOOL+ materials that wick sweat faster and keep players dryer for longer. They’re also constructed with jacquard fabric for a more lightweight finish for better movement both on and off the pitch. Each kit has the classic 3-stripes running down the shoulders, applied via a herringbone stitching pattern to help breathability and ventilation.

The adidas Away jerseys for Argentina, Japan, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Germany are now available at select adidas doors, adidas.com.ph and select partner stores (ABC Mart, Bootcamp and Foot Locker). Here’s a rundown of the federation away kits available in the PH:

Argentina

The swirling blue pattern is inspired by the nation’s traditional motifs. Hints of white on a black base enhance the stylized lines, intricate floral swirls, and climbing plants, bringing the design to life in striking contrast.

Etched on to the back of the neck is a bespoke “Argentina” motif sat in front of the Sol de Mayo, the national sun symbol.

Germany

The away kits also shares the visual language of the home kit, with diagonal chevrons are used as an all-over pattern, now done in navy blue. The color palette basically blends hues from the different eras of DFB’s history – the classic blue quarter zips from 1954, the classic blue and white training tops from the 60s-80s, while the aqua-blue accents were derived from the bold colored gear worn during the 90s.

A subtle flag label sign-off at the hem of the jersey celebrates the long-standing partnership between adidas and Germany since 1954.

Italy

Based on traditional Italian tailoring and inspired by smart suit jackets previously worn by the national team during historic celebratory moments, the jersey is designed with an all-over light blue and white pattern that replicates the intricate weaves found on garments of this type.

The sleeves, logos and numbering are completed with marine blue and gold detailing, meanwhile a monogram-inspired “italia” on the back of the neck celebrates a personalised embroidery style, that signifies ownership and identity.

Japan

Drawing inspiration from the “Colours Beyond the Horizon”, the Japan away design is brought to life through a stripe graphic featuring 12 distinct colours, combining to represent the unity and bond of the nation, on and off the pitch.

Set against an off-white base, 11 fading vertical lines run down the shirt in a rain-like effect, symbolizing each of the 11 on-pitch players, while a 12th bold central stripe takes the color of the red sun of the national flag to represent the heart of the team – it’s fans.

The Japanese flag is stamped proudly across the back of the neck as a mark of national pride and collective identity.

Mexico

Taking inspiration from Mexico’s rich history, the away jersey incorporates an all-over grey graphic adorning a white base, influenced by patterns known as ‘Grecas’, found on traditional architecture and art. The recurring all-over motif features a repeating pattern of abstract stairs, referencing the stepped exteriors often found on traditional Mexican buildings.

The phrase “SOMOS MÉXICO”, meaning “We Are México”, is scribed into the back of the neck and symbolises the unity and passion that defines the Mexican spirit ahead of hosting their record 3rd FIFA World Cup ™

Spain

Spain’s away jersey design taps into the nation’s illustrious literary history. An intricate all-over pyrite colour pattern, inspired by the drawings and graphics found in classic books and manuscripts, punctuates an off-white base that reflects the colour of a page.

The sleeves and neckline feature gold and burgundy details, while “ESPAÑA” is etched onto the back of the neck, with the distinctive letter Ñ celebrating the Spanish language and its culture heritage.
