Adidas Rolls Out Trefoil For All Bigger Teams
- Widespread Trefoil Rollout: Adidas is set to significantly expand the use of its iconic Trefoil logo across all levels of football, making it a "second" official logo for the brand.
- Expanded Product Categories and Teams: The Trefoil logo, initially seen on elite clubs' third kits, will now feature on kits for a broader range of teams, as well as on footwear, equipment, and general apparel for the 2026-27 season and beyond.
- Commercial Success as Catalyst: This extensive expansion is a direct result of the Trefoil's huge commercial success and massive fan approval on previous third kits, which led to a significant boost in Adidas's sales.
Update - Thursday, August 6, 2026: A nice infographic by Mystery Football shows off 40 club teams that receive the Trefoil treatment in the 2026-2027 season. What started as a 5-club collection in the 24-25 season has now reached the masses.
Update - Thursday, July 30, 2026: As we revealed back in August 2025, the Adidas Trefoil logo has come to way more teams in the 2026-27 season. A nice infographic by Gollo Football shows off 21 club team kits that have the Trefoil, but there are even more.
Update - Thursday, May 28, 2026: The 2026-27 season kit releases have started - while only a single Trefoil kit has been revealed yet (Orlando Pirates), we already know that at least 30 Adidas teams will get a Trefoil kit in 26-27 (no info about Paris FC and Como leaked yet) to get a Trefoil kit. There are certainly more than 30 teams in the end that get a Trefoil.
Update - March 11, 2026 Confirming our report from last August, two smaller Adidas teams got access to the Trefoil logo - Kosovo and Brest. Both Kosovo's and Brest's new Trefoil kits were created using the Adidas Locker Room. The Trefoil logo is still not available for amateur teams via the Locker Room, however. Still, expect dozens more teams to get Trefoil kits for the 26-27 season.
The Trefoil logo will be featured on many Adidas 26-27 away kits, including, of course, all Elite teams, plus mid-tier teams like Köln, Frankfurt, and Leeds.
Aug 15, 2025: Following the immense success of its return to on-pitch apparel, Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that Adidas is planning to dramatically expand the use of its iconic Trefoil logo across the entire football pyramid.
Adidas to Roll Out Trefoil Across Entire Football Pyramid
This bold new strategy will see the classic Trefoil logo appear on a wide range of products, including kits, footwear, and apparel, for clubs at all levels.
The Trefoil's comeback, which began with the 2024-25 third kits for elite clubs, is set to go mainstream. The logo will no longer be a special feature for a select few but will be integrated across the brand's whole football ecosystem.
- Kits: The Trefoil will appear on kits for a much wider range of clubs, not just the top tier.
- Footwear: Football boots will feature the Trefoil logo.
- Equipment: Goalkeeper gloves and other accessories will also get the Trefoil treatment.
- Apparel: The logo will be central to lifestyle and training collections.
No Only Elite Tier Anymore
This move suggests a major shift in Adidas's strategy. By giving all clubs access to the Trefoil, it effectively narrows the branding gap between the so-called "elite" teams and lower-tier clubs.
Fueled by Commercial Success
The reason behind this expansion is clear: the return of the Trefoil has been a huge commercial success. The 2024-25 and 2025-26 third kits were met with massive fan approval, which reportedly strongly boosted Adidas's sales in both footwear and apparel.
This new information also serves as the ultimate confirmation of our report from November 2024, when we stated that the Trefoil was set to become a "second" official logo for Adidas Football, implying its use would become much more widespread.
