Adidas 21-22 Kit Predictions + How Accurate Each Shirt Is
Jan 6, 2021, by Simon
Over the last couple of weeks Metal fan Jack Henderson (@hendocfc) and Juventus kit experts La Maglia Bianconera (@La_Bianconera) have shared their first thoughts on Adidas' 2021-22 jerseys for the brand's most important clubs such as Ajax Amsterdam, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus FC, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais.
Today we want to pin down how accurate these predictions are and provide background info concerning the colours, template or graphic patterns. Previously, we also classified the Nike 21-22 jersey predictions by Jack Henderson extensively.
Adidas 21-22 Kit Predictions
The accuracy of the Adidas 21-22 football shirt predictions varies strongly. Some of them are very close to the end product in terms of template, colour composition and details (Real Madrid's 21-22 away jersey), while others are merely based on the known main colour and all other elements are fictitious at this stage (Olympique Lyonnais 2021-22 away shirt).
Ajax Amsterdam
Ajax 21-22 Home Kit - Likelihood 60%
It is possible that the Ajax 21-22 home jersey features an old club crest on the chest. Otherwise, it combines Ajax's traditional colors what results in their traditional home shirt look. Details are subject to change.
Ajax Amsterdam 2021-22 Third Jersey - Likelihood 70%
This leak originated from a product catalog Jack Henderson has had access to. The colors and inspiration are accurate, the specific execution is not known yet, but we expect it to be rather close to the end product.
Arsenal
Arsenal FC 2021-2022 Home Shirt - Likelihood 70%
It is certain that Arsenal's 21-22 home jersey will combine a red body with white sleeves. The accent colours ('White' & 'Mystery Blue') are also known.
Arsenal 21-22 Away Jersey - Likelihood 65%
There are two concepts of Arsenal'S 2021-22 away jersey since the accent colour is not known yet. What is certain is that the upcoming away jersey is a modern execution of Arsenal's traditional yellow away shirts.
The jersey will be mainly 'Pearl Citrine' (a pale shade of yellow), while the applications will be either red or blue. It is almost certain that the football shirt will feature the famous Cannon instead of the club's logo.
Bayern Munich
Bayern 21-22 Home Kit - Likelihood 70%
We know that Bayern München's 2021-22 home jersey will combine two shades of red ('FCB True Red' and 'Craft Red') with white applications. Additionally, we know that the Three Stripes will be on the sleeves and a V-neck gets used. Other parts of the look such as the implementation of the darker shade of red are a complete fabrication.
Bayern 2021-2022 Away Jersey - Likelihood 60%
The same as for Arsenal's upcoming away jersey applies here: the main colour (black) is known, while the secondary color is not certain yet. Therefore, Jack created two concepts that have red respectively white as secondary color. We can confirm that the Three Stripes will be on the sleeves.
Juventus
Juventus FC 2021-22 Home Jersey - Likelihood 75%
It is known that Juventus' 21-22 home kit returns to classic black and white stripes. Adidas' stripes are positioned on the shoulder and it has a crew-neck collar with piping, a theme that also applies to the sleeve cuffs. Since La Maglia Bianconera usually has insider information we rate this prediction highly.
Juventus 2021-2022 Away Shirt - Likelihood 65%
It is certain that Juventus 2021-22 away jersey will be mainly black with iridescent applications. It is not 100% certain which applications get the iridescent treatment. Therefore, two different predictions exist.
Juventus 21-22 Third Shirt - Likelihood 50%
The Juventus 2021-22 third jersey is the most uncertain one out of this set: the only aspect that is definitely known is the inspiration by 90s streetwear and the two colored adidas logo. The exact execution is not certain yet. Therefore, there are also 2 different predictions.
Olympique Lyonnais
Lyon 21-22 Home Kit - Likelihood 70%
Olympique Lyonnais' 2021-22 home shirt will combine Lyon's colors white, navy blue and red. The outstanding element of the prediction are differently colored sleeves.
Olympique Lyonnais 2021-2022 Away Shirt - Likelihood 40%
This one will probably be the most inaccurate prediction out of all Adidas 21-22 football shirt predictions. It is only certain that the shirt will be mainly red. All other elements are subject to change.
Manchester United
Manchester United 2021-22 Home Jersey - Likelihood 65%
Manchester United's 2021-2022 home kit will be mainly 'Real Red' with Three Stripes on the shoulders and a ribbed crew-neck collar. We believe that the prediction is neither very close to the end product, nor far off.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid 21-22 Away Kit - Likelihood 75%
Real Madrid's upcoming away jersey will be predominantly navy with white logos and orange applications. There will be an all-over graphic pattern that consists of small design elements such as arrows and crowns, according to the well-informed German source REAL TOTAL. Except for the graphic pattern we expect this prediction to be very close to the end product.

Adidas Flamengo 26-27 EQT Collection Released
Adidas and Flamengo have officially launched the club's new Equipment (EQT) retro collection, making the Rubro-Negro the first Brazilian club to receive the iconic line. Inspired by the brand's seminal 1991 and 1992 aesthetics, the 1990s-themed capsule ditches the modern CRF monogram in favor of Flamengo's historic rowing crest with crossed oars and an anchor, placed alongside the classic Adidas Trefoil text logo. The lifestyle collection features five pieces including a color-blocked windbreaker jacket, crewneck sweatshirt, track pants, and graphic t-shirts in the club's signature red, black, and white color scheme.
Go Ahead Eagles 26-27 Third Kit Released
Dutch Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles and technical sponsor Stanno have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Named "Our Holy Waters," the design serves as a thematic companion to this season's "Our Holy Ground" home and away jerseys, shifting the focus to the club's deep connection with the IJssel river.
The Stanno Go Ahead Eagles 26-27 third shirt is built around an off-white base with fine vertical pinstripes running down the front. The centerpiece of the design is a detailed historic cog ship illustration across the torso, celebrating the Hanseatic maritime history of Deventer. Rich forest green decorates the folded collar and sleeve cuffs, complemented by gold trim and "GAE" lettering embroidered on the collar insert. Sponsor logos and branding appear in a metallic copper-bronze shade, alongside a recolored green and gold club crest.
Matching off-white shorts with green side piping and socks featuring the club's eagle crest complete the full kit. The Go Ahead Eagles 2026-27 third kit is available to purchase immediately through the club's official online store.
EFL Trophy Set to Become 'Jersey Mike's Trophy'
The EFL Trophy is set for another commercial rebrand, with American fast-food chain Jersey Mike's Subs closing in on a record-breaking title sponsorship agreement. The English Football League is finalizing a five-year contract worth approximately £5 million to officially rename the competition the Jersey Mike's Trophy.
The landmark partnership represents the most lucrative commercial deal in the history of the tournament. Participating clubs from League One and League Two, alongside invited Category One academy sides, will benefit from boosted prize money, starting with an initial pool of around £900,000 this season. The agreement directly supports Jersey Mike's major expansion into the UK and Ireland, where the US brand plans to roll out up to 400 store locations.
This move adds yet another chapter to the competition's long lineage of commercial title sponsors. Most recently titled the Vertu Motors Trophy, the tournament has previously operated under numerous memorable names, including the Papa Johns Trophy, Checkatrade Trophy, Johnstone's Paint Trophy, and the nostalgic LDV Vans Trophy.
No More Predator? Pedri Spotted in Next-Gen Adidas adiPURE Whiteout Prototype Boots
FC Barcelona and Spain midfield maestro Pedri has been spotted testing a whiteout prototype of the all-new Adidas adiPURE boots. Following Bayern Munich center-back Jonathan Tah, who stepped out in test pairs earlier this month, Pedri is now the most high-profile Adidas athlete seen taking the unreleased silhouette out onto the pitch.
The sighting comes as Adidas prepares to bring back the revered adiPURE silo for 2027, officially phasing out the Copa series to establish adiPURE as the brand's primary touch-and-leather boot alongside the Predator and F50. The next-generation adiPURE is engineered to combine classic heritage with modern speed, incorporating a plush Pureleather forefoot, a lightweight technical mesh quarter, a free-floating tongue, and a redesigned Adiframe soleplate.
While Pedri has been one of the central figures representing the Predator line, even rocking his personalized "Predri" signature branding, he has occasionally flirted with Copa models during training in previous seasons. Testing the whiteout prototype strongly indicates that Adidas might be positioning the Spanish technician as the premier ambassador to spearhead the revived adiPURE range ahead of its official debut in early 2027.
