Adidas has officially released the Juventus x Del Piero 2026 pre-match shirt & OG collection, a very bold design that pays homage to the legendary forward's artistic nickname: "Il Pinturicchio".
Juventus 2026 Pre-Match Kit
This is the new Adidas Juventus pre-match shirt for the second phase of the 25-26 Serie A season.
The Adidas Juventus 2026 pre-match football shirt features a spectacular all-over Renaissance-inspired graphic in shades of grey and white, mimicking the style of classic frescoes and sketches.
The most incredible detail is the integration of Del Piero himself into the artwork. The graphic features a statue-like figure of Del Piero performing his iconic tongue-out celebration, framed within classic architecture.
To contrast the monochrome artwork, the Adidas logo and Juventus crest are applied in a vibrant Yellow/Gold, standing out boldly against the complex background.
Confirming its place in the signature collection, the sleeve features the "ADP10" logo and Del Piero's signature, the back his number 10, and the shirt the dates of his debut and last match for Juventus.
Juventus x ADP10 Originals Collection
This shirt is part of the wider Juventus x Del Piero Originals collection we leaked earlier this week, but it features a far more intricate and bold design than the lifestyle items.
The Artist and The Footballer
The design is a direct reference to the nickname given to Del Piero by former Juventus owner Gianni Agnelli. Agnelli famously called Del Piero "Il Pinturicchio" (The Little Painter), naming him after the renowned Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino di Betto.
Agnelli likened Del Piero's style of play to art, just as Pinturicchio created refined masterpieces on canvas, Del Piero "painted" exquisite goals and technical brilliance on the football pitch.
The Juventus x Del Piero pre-match shirt is available from 16 December 2025.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
