Adidas 26-27 Authentic Kits Are Too Large
May 26, 2026, by Chris
- Sizing Discrepancy: The Adidas 26-27 authentic kits are significantly larger than previous seasons, despite having the same size label.
- Impact on Players: Liverpool players like Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai were visibly affected by the oversized fit during a recent match.
- Unclear Cause: It's unknown whether the baggier fit is an intentional design change by Adidas or a manufacturing error.
A noticeable sizing issue has emerged regarding the new Adidas 2026-27 authentic kits.
Sizing Issues Emerge With New Adidas 26-27 Player Issue Kits
25-26 vs 26-27 Liverpool authentic kits - Size M.
We already reported on Liverpool's extremely large shirts, but we just guessed from the images. Now, Liverpool fan and Footy Headlines follower benjaminlfc directly compared the 25-26 and 26-27 authentic kits, showing off that the new authentic jerseys are running significantly larger than in previous seasons.
A side-by-side comparison of two size M shirts clearly demonstrates that the newly launched 26-27 template features a much looser, baggier fit overall, despite carrying the exact same size label as last year's tailored iterations
This sizing discrepancy isn't just affecting supporters who purchase the premium authentic shirts; it is also impacting the professionals on the pitch. During Liverpool's recent match against Brentford, several star players appeared to struggle with the unexpectedly oversized fit of their new kits. Mohamed Salah was seen awkwardly rolling up the excessively wide sleeves of his short-sleeved jersey, while the long-sleeved versions worn by Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were noticeably bunching up and hanging loosely around their wrists, lacking the streamlined athletic fit usually associated with elite player-issue gear.
It currently remains unclear whether this baggier silhouette is an intentional design shift by Adidas for the upcoming campaign or a widespread manufacturing error across their 26-27 authentic production line. Adidas' website lists the sizing the exact same for the 25-26 and 26-27 kits - the reality is different.
