As Adidas prepares to conclude its historic 72-year partnership with the German Football Association (DFB) at the end of 2026, the Three Stripes have launched a special edition commemorative font and nameset collection for the Germany farewell kit. The bespoke customization celebrates iconic figures and career-defining tournament triumphs from both the men's and women's national teams.
Germany 26-27 Farewell Kit
This picture shows the special commemorative player printing on the back of the black and gold Germany farewell jersey. Each number incorporates a detailed illustration of the player in action during their respective historic tournament triumph.
Rendered with subtle gold shading inside the bold white numerals, the graphics recreate unforgettable World Cup moments from Adidas's seven decades alongside Die Mannschaft.
The collection honors several pivotal tournaments across the history of German football. Men's legends featured in the range include 1990 World Cup winners Lothar Matthäus (number 10) and Jürgen Klinsmann, alongside 2014 World Cup champions Manuel Neuer (number 1), Thomas Müller (number 13), and Toni Kroos (number 18).
Neuer is shown in his goalkeeper kit commanding his box with the Brazuca ball, Matthäus is depicted striking a ball in the iconic 1990 jersey, and Müller and Kroos are shown celebrating during the triumphant Brazil 2014 campaign.
Germany's highly successful women's national team is prominently represented as well. The collection includes 2003 World Cup golden goal hero Nia Künzer, 2007 World Cup winner Renate Lingor, and 1999 World Cup stalwart Doris Fitschen, honoring their monumental contributions to the DFB's international trophy haul.
The release marks one of Adidas's final tributes to the national team before Nike takes over as the official technical supplier on January 1, 2027.
