Worst Launch Of All Time? Adidas Knit Jerseys Two Years On Still On Stock - Massively Reduced Prize
Dec 24, 2020, by Chris
Update: When browsing some online stores to find unreleased products and other things that might be of interest, we came across a limited-edition (2018 pieces) 'revolutionary' shirt that we had almost forgotten - the first-ever full knitted football jersey by Adidas (made entirely out of Primeknit), based on the Germany 2018 World Cup kit.
Adidas Knit Germany Kit Still Available
The fully knitted Adidas 2018 World Cup kit is still available at various retailers, including the US site of renowned retailer Pro:Direct Soccer. It retails at a price of 81 USD instead of 200 USD, which still seems to be too high. It was limited to just 2018 pieces.
the standard replica Germany Adidas 2018 World Cup kit is available for 13,50 Euro
What is also interesting is that the regular Germany Adidas 2018 World Cup kit is still available to buy at many stores. The cheapest price we found it for are quite insane 13,50 Euro.
Original Story From September 2019: Just 30 Euro Instead Of 200 Euro - Stores Still Try To Get Rid Of 'Revolutionary' Limited Adidas Knit Germany Kits
On June 1 2018, shortly ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Adidas launched a never-before-seen revolution - the first-ever football jersey made entirely out of Primeknit. However, even though each kit was strictly limited to just 2,018 shirts, the Three Stripes brand's product is still available, and that for a fraction of the original price..
The Adidas Germany Knit Jerseys come in the designs of the Germany World Cup home and away kits, while introducing the totally-new Primeknit construction that makes (almost) all seams obsolete.
Adidas Germany Knit Kits Available From Just 30 Euro
The Adidas Germany 2018 World Cup knit home kit is available for just 40 Euro instead of 200 Euro in the biggest German soccer store (11Teamsports). The away kit is even available to purchase for just 30 Euro, a reduction of incredible 85 %.
We think that there are many, many reasons why the shirts are available for such a low price. First, they have the same designs as the kits + weird Adidas 18 print on the back (boring). Second, Germany's World Cup campaign was the worst of a World Cup ever (unsuccessful World Cup for Germany). Third, the items were overpriced, so not many bought them after the launch (when it was not known that Germany would be so unsuccessful...).
The Knit Adidas Germany collection did not only include two jerseys but also sweatshirts that are completely knitted. Those had a retail price of 250 Euro but are available for just 50 Euro now.
We think that the reason why Adidas' Germany knit kit is no more available in the brand's online store is simple - the Three Stripes remove items that are not sold after a specific time from their online shop to sell them in their outlets.
What do you think of the knitted Adidas Germany kit? Would you buy the away for 30 Euro? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
"Leak Or Not To Leak": Adidas Playfully Teases Juventus Kit Releases
Adidas Football has taken a cheeky and self-aware approach to modern kit culture by leaning directly into the world of shirt leaks. In a teaser shared across social media captioned "LEAK OR NOT TO LEAK, that’s the question", the brand presented a mock confidential desktop interface styled like an internal investigation into unreleased gear.
The desktop graphic features folders and case files centered around upcoming Juventus kits for the 26-27 campaign. Several genuine product codes are highlighted in the mockup, including KC2294 for the Juventus authentic third jersey and KR4646 for the pink away shirt. Surrounding these are playful folder labels such as "PRE-RELEASE LEAKERS" and "PERSONS OF INTEREST", along with mock file thumbnails referencing kit sightings, club mascot leaks, and questions over whether star youngster Kenan Yildiz leaked upcoming jerseys.
Rather than attempting to suppress early kit leaks, Adidas is embracing the surrounding fan culture and online discussion. By turning pre-release anticipation into an interactive campaign, the Three Stripes have found a clever way to generate excitement ahead of the official launches.
Official PSG 26-27 Squad Numbers Confirmed
Paris Saint-Germain have officially confirmed their squad shirt numbers for the 26-27 season following the conclusion of the summer transfer window. The French champions revealed the updated roster graphic displaying the club's official numbering across their classic Hechter-inspired home kit and goalkeeper jerseys. This graphic was created by @gollofootball and was officially used and posted by PSG.
The list highlights several new arrivals and notable number assignments across the squad. New signing Ferran Torres takes the number 9 shirt, while fellow additions Maghnes Akliouche, Lucas Digne, and Mika Godts take numbers 11, 12, and 22, respectively. Key figures retain their established shirts, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the number 7 and Ousmane Dembélé wearing number 10, alongside core regulars such as Marquinhos (5), Achraf Hakimi (2), and Vitinha (17).
Between the posts, Lucas Chevalier wears number 30 alongside Alessandro Longoni (16) and Matvey Safonov (39). Midfielder João Neves retains his distinctive number 87, while Warren Zaïre-Emery continues with number 33 for the upcoming campaign.
Muangthong United 26-27 Away Kit Released
Thai club Muangthong United have revealed their new away kit for the 26-27 campaign, crafted once again by local brand EGO Sport.
The Muangthong United 2026-27 away jersey introduces an ultra-clean, classic look. Built on an off-white base, the shirt features bright red accents on the polo-style collar and sleeve cuffs. All logos, including the club crest on the left chest, EGO branding, and long-time main sponsor Yamaha across the front, appear in monochromatic red.
Sleeve sponsors such as AirAsia and LEO round out the design, maintaining the red-and-white aesthetic throughout the entire kit.
Nike Sabrina 4 Outsole Sparks Comparisons to Ezeta Logo
Nike has unveiled the latest colorway of Sabrina Ionescu's signature basketball shoe, the Nike Sabrina 4 "The Switch". While the sneaker stands out with its vibrant blend of desert pink and lemon venom tones, a detailed look at the outsole has caught the attention of the football kit community for an unexpected reason.
The shoe's traction pattern features an intricate array of small, angled rubber lugs designed to deliver multi-directional court grip. However, numerous fans and followers noticed that the shape of these individual traction nubs looks remarkably similar to the geometric emblem of Italian sportswear brand Ezeta, prompting many to message the label's founders about the resemblance.
While the outsole pattern is undoubtedly Nike's performance-oriented traction engineered around Sabrina's signature identity, the visual likeness to Ezeta's mark is striking. Do you think this is purely a coincidence, or a curious case of parallel design?

Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Spanish Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca and technical partner Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Staying true to the club's fan-owned ethos, the designs were chosen directly by club members through an open design competition and multi-stage vote.
The Erreà Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition with a half-and-half black and white design, accented by subtle tonal vertical pinstripes across the front. Bright yellow trim details the collar and sleeve cuffs, while the back features a clean white panel with fine pinstripes to host player names and numbers.
Taking a bold and creative direction, the Unionistas 26-27 away jersey features a vibrant pink base that fades into deep navy tones towards the bottom hem. The shirt pays tribute to the local region by subtly embedding the names of all 362 municipalities in the province of Salamanca into the fabric graphic, while sleeve cuffs carry lyrics dedicated to the club's loyal travelling fanbase.
