Adidas Introduces Giant 3 Stripes - Exact Dimensions Leaked
Mar 7, 2026, by Phan Tich Giay
- New Adidas Design: Adidas is introducing larger, oversized three stripes on the shoulders of their performance kits starting with the 2026 World Cup home kits.
- Stripe Dimensions: The new Adidas home kit stripes will measure 18mm in width, while the away kit stripes will be 10mm.
- Classic Stripes: The traditional Adidas three stripes will still be used on jerseys featuring the Trefoil logo.
Update: We can leak the exact dimensions of the new big Adidas three stripes for the 2026 World Cup home. Leaked imagery shows the home kit stripes measuring 18mm, while the away version slims them down to 10mm - almost double the width for the new big 3 stripes.
Update: The big 3 stripes of the Adidas kits were introduced in November 2025. Now, an image of Messi and Son perfectly shows off the differences between the classic and new big 3 stripes. In our opinion, the classic 3 stripes look better in real life from near (the giant ones look unfit, TOO BIG), while there is not that big a difference on television.
With the 2026 World Cup, Adidas is changing their classic 3 stripes branding on the sleeves.
Adidas Clubs Home Kits to Feature Giant Three Stripes From 2026
All Adidas kits with the current performance feature giant, oversized Three Stripes on the shoulders. The giant Three Stripes template made its official debut on the home kits for the 2026 World Cup, and is being rolled out for club teams with the 2026-2027 releases.
The new big 3 stripes design marks a striking shift away from the classic stripes used since the first product with those came out in 1967 - the Beckenbauer tracksuit.
The regular 3 stripes branding is only kept for the Trefoil kits
However, there still will be Adidas kits with the traditional 3 stripes - all the jerseys that feature the Trefoil logo have the classic regular 3 stripes.

Copa América Champions Badge Returns to Argentina Kits
After two years, the reigning South American Champions badge officially makes its return to the Albiceleste jersey, following the end of Argentina’s reign as world champions.
The badge last appeared during 2024 Copa América. Since then, despite holding both Copa América and World Cup titles, Argentina consistently gave priority to the World Cup badge.

Melbourne Victory 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Melbourne Victory has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch marks the club's first matchwear collection produced under their new four-year technical partnership with Melbourne-based streetwear and activewear brand Elite Eleven.
The 26-27 home kit delivers a timeless look grounded in the club's traditional colours. It features a deep navy base accented by the iconic white Big V across the chest, complemented by white piping along the crew neck collar and raglan sleeve seams. Elite Eleven's signature logo sits centrally above the chevron, with Turkish Airlines remaining as the primary shirt sponsor.
In contrast to the classic home design, the Melbourne Victory 26-27 away jersey introduces a vibrant and modern aesthetic. It uses a bright neon fluro base paired with a large navy chevron and matching navy panels running along the shoulders and sides. Both shirts are available immediately for purchase through the club's official store.
FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose Kit Released - First Pink Kit in Club History
Macron and FC Nantes have officially unveiled a special Octobre Rose kit for the 26-27 campaign, marking the first time in the club's history that Les Canaris will wear pink. Designed to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer during Pink October, the jersey will be worn in official competition by both the women's and men's first teams at the Stade de la Beaujoire throughout the month.
The Macron FC Nantes 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is built around a soft pastel pink base decorated with a brushstroke pattern inspired by the deconstructed awareness ribbon in tonal shades. Deep burgundy trims accent the collar, cuffs, and monochrome branding, while a pink ribbon sits proudly on the chest between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. On the back neck, eight embroidered pink ribbons replace the traditional stars that represent Nantes' eight French league championship titles.
Burgundy shorts and pastel pink socks with a burgundy turnover band complete the full kit. In support of the initiative, 50% of the profits from shirt sales will be donated directly to local charities Madame S and Ma Parenthèse, along with the FC Nantes endowment fund.
