Köln 26-27 Fourth Kit
Check out the colors of Adidas' 1. FC Köln 26-27 fourth shirt below.
The new Adidas FC Köln 26-27 fourth football shirt will feature a very unusual and elegant wine-red primary color. According to the leaked info, the design and color palette are directly inspired by the official uniform of the Willi Ostermann Society and the famous jester's cap (Narrenkappe) worn by Ostermann himself.
This Köln 26-27 fourth kit is being released to honor a massive milestone: 2026 marks both the 150th birthday and the 90th anniversary of the passing of Willi Ostermann, one of Cologne's greatest local artists. The kit has been developed in close cooperation with the Willi Ostermann Society to ensure a faithful and respectful tribute.
Interestingly, this wine-red jersey will serve as a "replacement" for the club's traditional Carnival kit, which will reportedly not be released during Adidas' debut 2026-2027 season.
However, because Ostermann's music and legacy are so deeply rooted in Cologne's "fifth season" (Carnival), this special release acts as a more than worthy substitute.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
