Official: Adidas Milking Germany Before Nike Takes Over

  • Adidas and Germany Partnership Ending: Adidas's 70-year partnership with the German national team is ending in early 2027, with Nike taking over.
  • Adidas Releasing Multiple Kits: Adidas is releasing several special and remake kits in 2026, including retro remakes, to capitalize on their DFB heritage before Nike takes over.
  • Nike to take over in 2027: Nike has secured a deal to be the official kit provider for the German national team starting in 2027.

Update - Tuesday, May 26, 2026: Confirming our info, Adidas today released six! Germany remakes kits at once. This is unprecedented in football. Adidas did this because Nike is taking over from 2027 - the 3 stripes brought forward several launches.

Update - Sunday, May 24, 2026: Another Adidas German remake kit has been leaked, this time a re-edition of the 2007 Women's World Cup kit. Here, it's obvious that Adidas brings it out one year earlier than they would usually have done - Nike has secured Germany from 2027, which marks the 20th anniversary of the 2007 World Cup title - Adidas has to bring it out one year earlier.

Sunday, Apr 19, 2026: Adidas is going all out in its final months with the German national team. With the historic 70-year partnership coming to an end in early 2027 when Nike officially takes over, the Three Stripes are heavily cashing in on their DFB heritage.

Adidas Milking Germany Contract With at Least Nike Kit Releases

The home kit was already released in late 2025.

In addition to the standard 2026 World Cup home and away kits, Adidas is planning an extensive lineup of special releases. The brand will launch a unique 'farewell' third kit for the national team to mark the end of the long-standing era.

Germany 2026 Home & Away Kits

On top of these three modern jerseys, Adidas is also releasing at least five different retro remake kits throughout the year. This includes the recently leaked 2006 World Cup Teamgeist shirt, bringing the total number of official Germany shirts released in 2026 to a staggering eight.

Adidas can continue to sell Germany products even after the deal ends but not promote them

While fans of classic football kits will certainly appreciate the retro reissues, it is clear that Adidas is milking the final year of its contract to the absolute maximum before handing the reins over to Nike.

Indeed, the move enables Adidas to continue selling German products even after the Nike deal begins, since retailers can keep them in stock. However, it remains uncertain how much demand there will be for Adidas Germany products once the deal concludes. It is an interesting strategy not ever done at a large scale like this in football.

Germany 1990 World Cup Away Remake Kit

The Adidas Germany 1990-2026 away remake shirt was carried over from 1988, with the only difference being the collar and logo applications. The Adidas DFB 2026 away remake shirt is a one-to-one reproduction of the original kit, with only the tags being the difference (there existed different versions of the original with slightly different Trefoil branding).

"Leak Or Not To Leak": Adidas Playfully Teases Juventus Kit Releases

Adidas Football has taken a cheeky and self-aware approach to modern kit culture by leaning directly into the world of shirt leaks. In a teaser shared across social media captioned "LEAK OR NOT TO LEAK, that’s the question", the brand presented a mock confidential desktop interface styled like an internal investigation into unreleased gear.

The desktop graphic features folders and case files centered around upcoming Juventus kits for the 26-27 campaign. Several genuine product codes are highlighted in the mockup, including KC2294 for the Juventus authentic third jersey and KR4646 for the pink away shirt. Surrounding these are playful folder labels such as "PRE-RELEASE LEAKERS" and "PERSONS OF INTEREST", along with mock file thumbnails referencing kit sightings, club mascot leaks, and questions over whether star youngster Kenan Yildiz leaked upcoming jerseys.

Rather than attempting to suppress early kit leaks, Adidas is embracing the surrounding fan culture and online discussion. By turning pre-release anticipation into an interactive campaign, the Three Stripes have found a clever way to generate excitement ahead of the official launches.
