At the beginning of the 2023-2024 Champions League group stage, the prominent trio of Adidas (8), Nike (8), and Puma (7) asserted their dominance, collectively dressing 23 out of the 32 clubs (72%). Now, with half of the teams gone, it looks fairly similar.
2023-24 UEFA Champions League - How It Is Going - 16 Teams - 7 Brands
The Champions League round of 16 landscape showcases that no brand have secured significant gains or endured substantial losses. The only exception are Castore, who started with three teams but now find themselves outfitting none.
However, for the smaller brands Mizuno, EA7, Macron, and New Balance, it is surely a success that they have a team in the last of 16.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
