Jun 28, 2026, by Chris
- Goalkeeper Kit Modification: Veteran goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Guillermo Ochoa have resorted to cutting the long sleeves off their Adidas 2026 national team goalkeeper kits to wear short-sleeve versions in matches.
- Manuel Neuer's DIY Approach: Manuel Neuer manually cut the sleeves off his standard long-sleeve Adidas kit for Germany's opening match, resulting in a raw, unhemmed edge, although Adidas later provided him with short-sleeve options.
- Guillermo Ochoa's Similar Action: Guillermo Ochoa also had his long-sleeve Mexico 2026 away goalkeeper kit cut to short-sleeve form, mirroring Neuer's preference for shorter sleeves.
Veteran goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Guillermo Ochoa have both been wearing short-sleeve versions of their respective 2026 national team goalkeeper kits; however, in two matches, they needed to bypass the standard long-sleeve options provided by Adidas.
Neuer Cuts Long-Sleeve Adidas Goalkeeper Kit in First Match
For Germany's opening match, Manuel Neuer was issued a standard long-sleeve kit. Preferring short sleeves, the German shot-stopper took a DIY approach and simply cut the sleeves off with scissors. This modification left a raw, unhemmed edge on the sleeves, clearly showing that the shirt was manually altered for the game.
In the following two matches, Neuer received a short-sleeve keeper kit from Adidas. The Trefoil away was a very unique construction for Neuer, especially.
Ochoa Cuts Trefoil Keeper Kit
Similarly, Guillermo Ochoa was seen wearing a short-sleeve version of the Mexico 2026 away goalkeeper kit during a recent match. Following the same trend as his German counterpart, Ochoa also had his long-sleeve shirt cut to accommodate his preference.
