Adidas Real Madrid 20-21 Authentic vs Replica Kits - One-of-a-Kind Differences
As it has been the case in the past few years, the new Adidas Real Madrid 2020-21 kits are available in two different versions - replica and authentic. We compare the Adidas Real Madrid 2020-2021 replica and authentic kits, which are based on the Adidas 2020 kit technology introduced for the EURO 2020.
Only Adidas' biggest clubs like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester United receive a HEAT.DRY authentic version. Teams like Ajax does just receive one version - in most cases those feature the replica kit technology (e.g Ajax 20-21 home & away).
