Disgusting: Adidas Give Women's (And Men's) Teams Replica Kits
Jun 13, 2022, by Chris
In the UEFA Euro 2022 Women's Euro, teams sponsored by Adidas will not wear the brand's high-end football kits.
Stitched Logos and Aeroready Material: Adidas Women's Euro 2022 Are Replica
The Adidas 2022 Women's national team jerseys are not available in Adidas' best kit quality; instead, they are only available as "replica".
The Men's teams wore replica kits as well subsequently, but just for one match
As visible on pictures of Adidas' store and matches, the Adidas 2022 Women's jerseys are simple replica kits. They feature Aeroready technology and stitched logos.
This week, the Adidas Women's Euro 2022 jerseys were also worn by the Men's teams of Belgium, Germany, and Spain. They were the same as the Women's kits tech-wise, with the only difference being the cut.
For Spain, the federation logo was heat-applied. This is because the federation changed the logo in 2021. The crest was added later.
All this is quite unsatisfying from Adidas, whose slogan is "Only the Best for the Athlete."
Nike and Puma give the Women's teams the best kits available
Meanwhile, both Nike and Puma give the Women's teams the best kits available. The Nike UEFA Euro 2022 Women's jerseys feature the Nike Dri-Fit ADV technology, while the Puma are based on the Ultraweave template.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
