Nike to Release New Shirt Template in 2024
We can confirm that a new template will replace Nike's current Dri-Fit ADV style ahead of the 24-25 season.
New Nike Template for 24-25
We have received information confirming that Nike will launch a new kit template in the summer of 2024, replacing the Dri-Fit ADV template that was introduced last year. With the next Euros taking place in summer 2024, the kit launches for Nike's international teams ahead of the competition will likely provide the first official look at the new shirt structure.
The most prominent feature of Nike's current Dri-Fit ADV template is the curved seam across the top of the chest and back. All versions of the template share this element, while some also have bow-shaped panels at the collar opening and on the upper back. Nike have used a number of collar styles with this template including round neck, v neck, polo and henley collars. There is also a specific criss-cross weave pattern on the authentic versions.
As usual, Nike's elite teams will be the first to receive the new template, while the current template will more than likely continue to be used by some smaller teams for another couple of years.
Features of New Template
The 2024 Nike template will also use a variety of collar styles, and they will be more unusual than the relatively standard options we've seen over the last couple of years. The curved seams are a defining element of the current template so we expect them to be replaced by a more regular or raglan style cut. No concrete information has emerged yet on any other specific features, although the goalkeeper version of the template could be somewhat similar to the style used by Adidas in 2020.
New Nike Template in 2024: Key Points
- New template will come into use ahead of the 24-25 season.
- Likely to be debuted at Euro 2024.
- International and Nike "elite" teams will be the first to use it.
- Variety of unusual collar styles.
- Current Dri-Fit ADV template will likely remain an option for non-elite teams when after new template comes out.
