Just like most, if not all major Adidas 2018 World Cup jerseys, the Russia 2018 home kit directly derives from a classic shirt, in this case the 1988 USSR home.
The Russia 2018 World Cup shirt is bright red with white 3 Stripes on the shoulders, a white v-collar and, most noticeably, a white brand from the outside chest around the upper sleeve to the outside of the upper back.
A bit of blue is present on the Russia 2018 World Cup home jersey as well, in the form of a flag detail on the inside collar.
Template-wise, the Russia 2018 home kit is based on Adidas' brand-new Climachill template - it's the first time the brand is using this tech in football kits. This only concerns the authentic version, with the replica using Climalite instead.
White shorts and red socks complete the kit.

Based on the AdiPro 18 template, the new Russia GK top has a greenish blue base color and combines it with a loud graphic print on the front and cream for all AdiPro brandings.
The Russia 2018 World Cup away kit will be white and blue.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
