Aug 10, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Trefoil Logo: Benfica's away kit for the 2026-27 season will feature the Adidas Trefoil logo.
- Kit Design: The away shirt must be white, with a red Adidas Trefoil logo, and a full-color club crest due to new kit rules.
- Elite Status: Benfica is likely to be elevated to Adidas's "Elite" club status, granting them player-issue kits and greater marketing focus.
Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Benfica will feature the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo on their away kit for the 2026-27 season.
This move signals a significant step up in the club's partnership with Adidas and suggests they will be promoted to an 'Elite' club.
Benfica to Get Trefoil Logo in 26-27 Season
Benfica will receive the Trefoil logo on their away kit for the 2026-27 season. This news aligns perfectly with Adidas's overall strategy for the 2026-27 season.
As previously revealed by Footy Headlines, Adidas will be shifting the Trefoil logo from the third kits (as seen in 25-26 season) to the away kits for all their elite clubs. Benfica receiving a Trefoil away kit confirms they are set to be part of this Trefoil collection.
Based on Benfica's own strict kit guidelines, which will be effective from the 2026-27 season, we have a clear idea of what the kit will look like.
- The away shirt must be white.
- The Adidas Trefoil logo will likely be red.
- The full-color club crest is mandatory, as monochrome logos are forbidden under the new rules.
Benfica to Become Adidas Elite Team?
The inclusion of Benfica in the 26-27 Trefoil program strongly implies they will be elevated to an "Elite" club status. This would be a major development for the Lisbon-based club.
As an elite team, Benfica would receive authentic player-issue kits featuring Adidas's latest performance technology (expected to be called Climacool+). They would also benefit from a broader range of apparel and a greater global marketing focus from Adidas.
After being notably excluded from the 25-26 Trefoil third kit collection, this development indicates that the club's reported unhappiness with Adidas has been resolved, placing them among the brand's elite teams.
Are you happy to see Benfica get a Trefoil kit and likely promotion to Adidas's elite tier? Let us know in the comments below.
Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
