Adidas USA 1994 World Cup Remake Kit + Full Collection Released - No Crest Due to Nike Deal
Mar 10, 2026, by Chris
- Adidas Release: Adidas has released a remake of the USA 1994 World Cup away kit as part of a larger collection.
- Crest Omission: The remake jersey does not feature the official USA crest due to Nike's current contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation.
- Marketing Strategy: Adidas is marketing the jersey as a 'Denim Graphic Jersey' to avoid directly associating it with the United States National Team, focusing instead on its retro appeal.
Update - 10 March 2026: Adidas has officially launched the USA 1994 Denim Remake collection, featuring 12 items, and it is now available on Adidas online stores.
Update - 25 February 2026: In a surprising and quiet move, Adidas has released a remake of one of the most iconic shirts in football history: the USA 1994 World Cup away kit. However, there is a massive catch: the jersey is missing the USA crest.
Adidas USA 2026 1994 Remake Football Kit
The new Adidas USA 2026 1994 away remake jersey faithfully recreates the original 1994 kit design, featuring the faux-denim texture and the massive, distorted white stars floating across the fabric.
However, because Nike currently holds the contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation, Adidas legally cannot use the official USA crest or explicitly market it as a national team product.
Because of that, any retro-inspired product from Adidas would have to be released without official US Soccer branding. The design worn by Rodman keeps the distinctive 1994 aesthetic but removes federation identifiers, making it a lifestyle remake.
Adidas has listed the product on its official online stores simply as the "Denim Graphic Jersey".
Instead, the product description vaguely states that the jersey "pays homage to adidas' rich history" and "speaks to all vintage and retro lovers," carefully avoiding any direct mention of the United States National Team.
A Rare "Reverse" Remake
Usually, we see the opposite scenario: Clubs release retro kits featuring their crest, but they are forced to remove the original manufacturer's logo because they have a different technical sponsor today.
A prime example is Manchester United, which currently sells retro shirts with the club crest but without the original Umbro branding, as they are sponsored by Adidas.
In this case, the roles are reversed. Adidas owns the copyright to the iconic "Denim" design pattern, but they do not own the rights to the team. Therefore, we get the manufacturer logo and the design, but no team badge.
Part of the National Teams Remake Collection
This kit is not a piece of the Adidas 2026 Latin National Team Remake collection, which launched in mid-January, featuring retro kits for Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico.
These Latin American teams are currently sponsored by Adidas (allowing for full branding), the USA kit had to be stripped of its federation badges and released quietly as a lifestyle item.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
