Big news for kit collectors and fans of Los Millonarios. We can exclusively reveal that Adidas will launch a special River Plate retro kit in 2027, bringing back the absolute earliest days of their historic partnership.
Adidas River Plate 2027 Remake Kit
This is the original Adidas River Plate 1980 kit.
The Adidas River Plate 1980 2027 remake jersey will be a faithful reproduction of the very first Adidas kit worn by the club, releasing under the premium Adidas Originals label.
What makes this specific shirt so special is its fascinating backstory. During the 1980 season, River Plate took to the pitch wearing shirts featuring the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo without an official contract with the brand. The club wore these shirts in three Copa Libertadores matches while transitioning between local suppliers, marking a brief, unofficial debut for the Three Stripes. It wasn't until two years later, in 1982, that River and Adidas officially put pen to paper.
By releasing this in 2027, Adidas is celebrating 45 years of their official 1982 contract while paying homage to the true genesis of the partnership.

Unai Simón Forced to Modify Gloves at 2026 World Cup
During Spain vs Belgium, the Spanish goalkeeper played in a modified pair of Reusch gloves, with the brand's signature "R" logo completely removed. This adjustment was made to meet strict FIFA rules. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for spotting this interesting detail.
According to section 18.4.1 of the FIFA Equipment Regulations, a manufacturer's logo on goalkeeper gloves must not exceed 20cm² and can only appear once. Because the full "Reusch" text logo was already printed on the index finger, the additional "R" logo on the back had to be removed.
However, likely due to a referee oversight, Simón still managed to play with his original, unmodified gloves - featuring both logos, during Spain's final group stage match against Uruguay.
Alongside Unai Simón, several other high-profile goalkeepers, including Álisson Becker and Gregor Kobel, are also wearing similar Reusch gloves at the 2026 World Cup.
