Awesome: Adidas Release 2022 World Cup Kits With Long, "Full" 3 Stripes Sleeves
Sep 23, 2022, by Simon
Many of Adidas' 2022 World Cup kits are available in long-sleeve versions, something that fans have deeply missed in the past tournaments.
Adidas Bring Back Long Sleeve Kits For World Cup 2022
Check out the new Adidas 2022 long-sleeve kits for Germany, Mexico, Japan, Spain, and Colombia.
Adidas offer long-sleeve versions of their 2022 international kits for a few but not all teams - they are available for only 5 nations - Germany, Mexico, Japan, Spain, and Colombia.
Argentina's kits are not available as long-sleeve versions
There are no long-sleeve kits for teams like Argentina, Belgium, Chile, and Wales, unfortunately.
Germany and Japan are the only teams whose long-sleeve kits are available in the authentic "Player Issue" version. The Japan long-sleeve shirt is exclusive to the Japanese market, however. Some clever resellers make it possible to get the Japan long-sleeve jerseys outside Japan.
In terms of the design, the Adidas 2022 kits in the long-sleeve version are completely identical to the short-sleeve version. The biggest upside of the long sleeve version is the fact that the 3 Stripes run all the way to the sleeve cuffs, barring one gap for patches.
We particularly like those long-sleeve shirts whose sleeves have a design - the Japan and Mexico 2022 away kits stand out here.
Japan and Germany are the only nations whose authentic long-sleeve kits are available
A few years ago, long-sleeve kits were still a common sight during the World Cup, but they were available less and less every year. However, recently some superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Leroy Sane, Gerard Pique, and Ousmane Dembélé started to wear long-sleeve kits again.
Former England international and forward Kevin Keegan is another famous example offer
Luckily for all kit aficionados, Adidas are slowly but surely starting to produce them again whenever it is commercially feasible. For example, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Arsenal already received long-sleeve kits for the 22-23 season.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.

FC Barcelona 26-27 Third Kit Font Leaked
Following the leak of FC Barcelona's 26-27 third kit, kit expert @memorabilia1899 has provided a first look at the custom typeface that will feature on the back of the jersey. The bespoke font design continues Nike's trend of pairing unique typography with its high-profile club kit releases for the season.
The typography features a sharp, geometric design with clean blocky angles for the player numbers, rendered in dark navy blue and bordered by a bright red outline. The player name is printed in arched, bold sans-serif lettering using the same color scheme, perfectly matching the teal body and red trim of the shirt.
This custom typeface will be worn on Barcelona's 26-27 third kit during cup fixtures and selected league games where customized fonts are permitted. The contrasting red outline gives the player names and numbers clear visibility against the light teal graphic backdrop.
Pink Real Madrid 26-27 Third Kit Leaked in New Promo Image
A new promo-style image of the Real Madrid 26-27 third kit has emerged online ahead of its official release scheduled for August 12, 2026. Crafted by Adidas, the new alternative jersey marks the return of a pink main color for Los Blancos for the first time since the 2020-21 season. Thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The standout element of the shirt is an intricate tonal geometric pattern covering both the front and back. Inspired by Latin American art, the graphic features interlocking circular and diamond shapes created with fine dotted lines. Complementing the vibrant pink base, Adidas adds ivory details across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and the Three Stripes on the shoulders. The club crest, Adidas logo, and Emirates front sponsor are all rendered in clean white.
On the back, the geometric pattern continues seamlessly alongside a stylized retro "RMCF" sign-off positioned just below the collar. Matching pink shorts with ivory accents and pink socks complete the full uniform, making it only the third pink outfield kit in Real Madrid's history.
