The Köln 1983 DFB-Pokal shirt remake will serve primarily as a lifestyle product, although the source does not rule out the possibility of the shirt being worn in a competitive match.

The Adidas Köln 2026-2027 1982-83 remake football shirt will be a faithful recreation of the original design - complete with V-neck collar, pinstripes, the retro Geißbock crest and the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, the kit worn by the likes of Littbarski, Konopka, Allofs and Bonhof as they brought the DFB-Pokal to Cologne in 1983.
The only difference between the Adidas Köln 2026-27 1982-83 remake football shirt and the original is the material, as the remake will be made from breathable polyester rather than pure cotton. Shirt collectors will be particularly pleased to hear that the original main sponsor "Doppel-Dusch" will also return on the front of the shirt, while retro training suits from the same era are also reportedly in the works.
The release of the Köln 1983 DFB-Pokal shirt remake is planned for late spring or early summer, with a presentation on the anniversary of the cup win considered a possibility.

South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.
The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.
FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove 7 Stars From 2026 World Cup Kit And Change Numbers Color
FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.
