- Mercedes F1 Apparel: The 2025 Mercedes F1 apparel features an oversized Adidas three-stripe design on the fireproof jacket.
- Adidas World Cup Design: Adidas will use a larger three-stripe design for the 2026 World Cup.
- Stripe Size Difference: The F1 three-stripe design is larger than what will be used for the 2026 World Cup due to FIFA regulations.
The Mercedes team has just introduced its 2025 F1 apparel and it caught our attention with its large three stripes on the fireproof jacket.
Giant Three Stripes on the Adidas Mercedes F1 2025 Jacket
The Adidas Mercedes F1 jacket has giant Three Stripes on the shoulders instead of the regular design. Meanwhile, the Mercedes T-shirt 2025 still has the regular 3 stripes design.
As we leaked earlier, Adidas will be introducing a larger three-stripe design for the 2026 World Cup. It looks like Adidas have already experimented with this new three-stripe design on an F1 kit, but they're even bigger than what's available for football.
For the 2026 World Cup, Adidas needs to comply with the FIFA 2025 Equipment Regulations. Therefore, the total width of the Adidas 2026 World Cup three stripes will be smaller than in the Formula 1.
