Adidas Germany Farewell/Third Kit: Do These Concepts Beat the Official Design?
- Adidas and Germany Partnership Ending: Adidas is releasing a special-edition black third jersey as a farewell collection for the German national team, marking the end of their historic partnership.
- Official Third Jersey Design: The official Adidas release features a retro design with gold pinstripes and the Trefoil logo, but it wasn't favored by most fans.
- Alternative Concept Designs: Footy Headlines created a concept swapping white for black on the home kit, while trukapsd designed a retro-modern concept with a subtle pattern, Trefoil logo, and national flag colors.
Adidas is set to release a special-edition black third jersey as part of its farewell collection with the German national team, celebrating the final chapter of their historic partnership. The official release offers a striking retro look with gold pinstripes and the classic Trefoil logo, and was not liked by most fans - could Adidas have done better?
Germany Third Concepts
We created our own Footy Headlines concept to see how a black variant of the home kit would translate. This design simply takes the home kit, but swaps the white for black.
Meanwhile, concept designer trukapsd offered a different take that bridges the gap between retro and modern. This design features a subtle pattern woven into a black base, reviving the classic Trefoil logo while cleanly incorporating the national flag colors onto the collar and sleeve cuffs.

Schlotterbeck Deliberately Wears His Football Socks the Wrong Way Round
Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has a very specific habit regarding his matchday attire. The centre-back deliberately wears his football socks the wrong way round - the back is on the front, and the front is on the back.
In 2025, the Borussia Dortmund & Germany center back once told SPORT1 that this was one of his unique habits.
