Exclusive: Adidas 26-27 Third Kits to Return to Modern Adidas Logo
- Logo Change: Adidas will replace the retro Trefoil logo with its modern Performance logo for all club third kits in the 2026-27 season.
- Design Shift: The return to the modern logo indicates a move towards more contemporary and futuristic designs for the third kits, departing from the vintage style of the previous seasons.
- Trefoil's New Placement: The Trefoil logo, previously used on third kits, will be featured on the away kits for the 2026-27 season.
After two hugely successful seasons of using the retro Trefoil logo, Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that Adidas will bring back its modern Performance logo for all club third kits in the 2026-27 season.
Adidas 26-27 Third Kits - Adidas Performance Logo
The return of the modern Adidas Performance logo for the 26-27 third kits signals a shift back towards more modern and futuristic designs. This means we can expect third kits to once again feature cutting-edge patterns and templates, moving away from the vintage aesthetic of the previous two seasons.
For the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons, Adidas's third kits were defined by their heritage feel, featuring the iconic Adidas Originals Trefoil logo. This resulted in many classic, retro-inspired designs that were celebrated by fans.
This decision is directly linked to another major strategic move from the brand. As previously reported by Footy Headlines, the Trefoil logo will move from the third kits to the away kits for the 2026-27 season.
What do you think of this strategy? Do you prefer the Trefoil on the third kit, or are you excited to see modern designs return to that slot? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Adidas Launches Special 26-27 Dog Kit for Real Madrid
Adidas has released a dedicated kit for dogs linked to Real Madrid. The designs adapt the club's new 2026-2027 home kit.

Arsenal Sends Kit Without Adidas Logo & Arsenal Crest
Arsenal shirt collector @NathanPanter_52 has posted images of the 26-27 home shirt bought for £136 that is missing both the Adidas logo and the club crest. The item is an official product - it is very uncommon that something like that happens.
LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
A quick color analysis of Newcastle's 26-27 home kit. It are not the colors that make this shirt bad, unlike the Madrid 26-27 kit.
