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.
