Adidas Brings Back Trefoil
Adidas confirmed it will revive the Trefoil logo for its FIFA World Cup 2026 away jerseys — the Trefoil returns to football kit after 36 years as part of a heritage play tied to bigger North American expansion plans. (sportplus.sg).
Adidas unveiled the official away kits for all 25 partner federations on March 20, 2026, staging the launch in the Lower Grand Tunnel in downtown Los Angeles. (news.adidas.com) Each away jersey features the adidas Originals Trefoil printed on the right chest and leans heavily on 1990s-inspired colorways and nation-specific iconography. (news.adidas.com) Adidas says the collection is engineered for heat with body-mapped 3D mechanical-stretch fabrics, CLIMACOOL+ materials that wick faster, and lightweight jacquard construction to aid movement in warm climates. (news.adidas.com) The range keeps the three stripes down the shoulders—applied via a herringbone stitch pattern Adidas says improves ventilation—and the company made the kits available to buy immediately through its retail stores, select partners and adidas.com. (news.adidas.com) High-profile federation releases published so far include Spain and Argentina, alongside Germany and Mexico among others, and Adidas confirmed that 13 of the 25 partner federations have already qualified for the 2026 tournament. (si.com) Germany’s away shirt has been positioned as Adidas’ final DFB national-team release before the German Football Association’s supplier deal with Nike takes effect in 2027. (fourfourtwo.com) The kit launch coincides with a broader North American push by Adidas that includes a 9,000-square-foot U.S. soccer-only flagship at the American Dream mall and an explicit strategic effort to grow U.S. market share ahead of World Cup 2026.
