Adidas Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Man Utd & Real Madrid 19-20 Authentic vs Replica Kits

Update: Adidas has added a nice feature on their website that makes it easy for fans to see the most important differences between the replica and authentic versions of their kits.

Some days ago, we compared the replica versions of the Adidas Manchester United 2019-20 home kit. However, the authentic and replica kits of all clubs do have some characteristics that are unique for them. We compare those Adidas kits of the brand's five top teams - Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Adidas 2019-2020 Authentic vs Replica Jerseys

The authentic and replica versions from Adidas for each club are identical terms of cut as well as tech and material of the fabric. An authentic Adidas kit is the player issue jersey - it features Climachill technology, an authentic slim fit made for athletes and (usually - more below) heat-printed logos. An replica Adidas 19-20 kit is a kit made for everyday wear and sports - it features Climalite technology, a more leisure fit and mainly stitched logos.

The main difference between each club's kits are the team logos - some have stitched crests while other just have heat-printed logos, and some use the identical logos for both kit versions. The main tech of all kits (authentic / replica) is the same.

Adidas 2019-20 Climachill Authentic Jerseys - Features

  • Climachill keeps you super-cool and dry in the most intense heat with ultra-breathable and moisture-wicking features
  • An authentic jersey is a 1:1 version of the kit players wear and features a heat-transfer crest

  • 3-Stripes on shoulders; Heat-transfer adidas Badge of Sport on chest
  • Authentic fit is made for athletes and is slim through the shoulders and body
  • 100% polyester doubleknit
  • Price: 130 Euro

Adidas 2019-20 Climachill Authentic Jerseys - Features

  • climalite technology conducts sweat and heat away from the body
  • Ventilated mesh panel inserts
  • A replica kit features a more leisure fit

The main tech of all kits (either authentic or replica) is the same.

Arsenal

The exact differences between the authentic and replica Adidas Arsenal 2019-20 kits are not known yet. So far, only one picture of the kit got leaked yet. It shows Aubameyang and Lacazette wearing what seems to be the replica version - it comes with a stitched Adidas crest and a stitched-applied Arsenal logo.

Bayern München

The authentic Bayern Munich kit comes with a heat applied, partly knitted crest, while the replica version of Bayern Munich's 19-20 kit has an almost completely knitted crest.

Juventus

The authentic Juventus 2019-20 home kit features an halfway stitched crest (stars and Juventus lettering), interestingly. The crest of the replica version is completely and directly stitched on the shirt.

Another difference of the authentic and replica versions of the Juventus 2019-20 home kit is the way Adidas 'created' the two halves on the front of the Juventus 19-20 home kit. The halves of the authentic kit are just printed, while the halves of the replica kit are sewn together.

Manchester United

The crest of the authentic Man Utd 2019-20 kit looks much more high-quality than the logo of the cheap replica version.

Real Madrid

The authentic Real Madrid 2019-20 home kit come with a heat-applied crest, while the replica RM logo is stitched traditionally.

The golden insert on the lower right and left of the jersey is also different. Just see the images....

The Adidas 2019-2020 replica kits are available for 90 Euro, while the authentic Adidas 19-20 kits retail at 130 Euro.

AC Monza 26-27 Third Kit Released

AC Monza have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 campaign, designed by technical sponsor Nike. Completing the club's matchwear set alongside the previously launched home and away shirts, the design is heavily influenced by the city's renowned motorsport heritage and the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza racetrack.

The Nike AC Monza 26-27 third shirt features a sleek black base highlighted by a vertical red stripe running down the left side beneath the team badge, bordered with crisp white outlining. A white Nike Swoosh sits on the right chest, while the DAZN Bet Club sponsor emblem is displayed across the front of the jersey.

Nick Woltemade Spotted in Camouflaged Adidas F50 Boots Disguised as Predator 26

German forward Nick Woltemade has once again caught the attention of boot spotters following his loan switch to Juventus for the 26-27 season. In training sessions with the Bianconeri, the 24-year-old was seen wearing a bespoke pair of Adidas boots featuring a clever optical illusion: a laceless Adidas F50 speed boot disguised as a Predator 26. Big thanks to sr4u.

At first glance, the footwear mimics the visual language of the Predator silo, complete with simulated rubber strike elements and bold graphic patterning. A closer look, however, immediately reveals the telltale silhouette of the laceless F50. The boots feature the aerodynamic shape, seamless upper, and lightweight sole plate of the speed boot, with the Predator rubber fins merely printed onto the smooth synthetic shell rather than physically present.

This is not the first time Woltemade has turned heads with this specific setup. He was previously spotted in similar disguised F50 boots while on international duty with Germany earlier this year. Custom camouflage of this variety typically occurs when a player relies on the lightweight build and locked-in feel of a speed silo while marketing alignment or personal styling favors the identity of another line.

CA Peñarol 2026 135th Anniversary Kit Released - Honoring CURCC Roots

Puma and Uruguayan giants Club Atlético Peñarol have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit celebrating the club's 135th anniversary. Founded on September 28, 1891, as the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club (CURCC), Peñarol traditionally honors its rich history each September with a bespoke commemorative release.

The Peñarol 2026 135th anniversary shirt takes direct inspiration from the early uniforms worn during the team's formative years. It features a distinctive half-and-half layout, combining a solid black left side with thin yellow and black vertical stripes running down the right. The long sleeves mirror the split design of the body, complemented by a classic black polo collar detailed with subtle yellow trim.

Completing the heritage aesthetic, a retro CURCC shield encircled by golden laurel branches replaces the club's contemporary badge on the chest. The reverse side features vintage stitched-effect white numbering and the historic Decano inscription above the player name, while all sponsor logos appear in gold.

Sporting Cristal 26-27 Special Kit Released

Puma and Peruvian powerhouse Sporting Cristal have officially launched a special retro kit for the 26-27 season. The limited-edition release pays homage to one of the most celebrated eras in the club's history, faithfully reviving their iconic look from the early 1970s.

The Puma Sporting Cristal 26-27 special jersey comes in a rich royal blue base, contrasted by clean white trim along the crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Presented in an authentic long-sleeve cut, the shirt prominently features the club's vintage crest on the left chest, complete with the Peruvian flag motif across the top. With a subtle Puma cat logo and the total absence of front-of-shirt sponsors, the kit maintains an ultra-clean, collector-focused aesthetic reminiscent of the 1970 and 1972 title-winning teams.

The new special shirt joins Sporting Cristal's 2026 wardrobe alongside the previously launched home kit and vibrant geometric third strip, offering fans a timeless piece of club heritage.

No More Hummel: Stimulus Puerto Rico 2026 Home & Away Kits Released

The Puerto Rican Football Federation (FPF) has officially launched its new home and away kits for the 26-27 cycle, marking the beginning of a technical partnership with American sportswear brand Stimulus Athletic. The Minneapolis-based custom kit maker takes over the apparel duties for El Huracán Azul, officially replacing previous supplier Hummel.

The new home shirt boasts a bold geometric pattern in deep blue and black shades, inspired by the historic cobblestones of Old San Juan alongside the luminous glow of Puerto Rico's world-famous bioluminescent bays. The striking mosaic extends across the entire front and sleeves, complemented by subtle teal accents along the collar and cuff trims. Black shorts and blue socks complete the primary uniform.

In contrast, the away jersey provides a crisp white design adorned with details drawn directly from the national flag. It features dynamic red striping down the flanks that fades into a digital gradient towards the hem, flanked by cyan and red accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs. Both shirts are available for $80 through the official FPF online store, alongside dedicated goalkeeper versions.
