Special Adidas 2026 (World Cup) Referee Kits
Our source says that Adidas has prepared white/gold and black/gold colorways. While Adidas released the standard 2026 World Cup referee kits earlier this year in a variety of standard colors, these special editions introduce a more special aesthetic.
Both the white and black special edition kits are based on the regular Adidas 2026 referee template, which features the brand's Three Stripes on the shoulders. The design retains the standard dual chest pockets and modern collar, but updates the overall look by replacing the typical accents with metallic gold detailing. These gold elements are applied to the Adidas logo, shoulder stripes, collar trim, and pocket lines.
It remains to be seen exactly when these kits will be utilized, but the color scheme suggests they are reserved for a significant match. The 2026 World Cup Final is the most likely candidate for their debut.
Adidas already released a pink referee kit for the Miami match and a special red and gold kit for the 1000th FIFA World Cup match.
