EXCLUSIVE: Adidas to Release Schalke 1997 Remake Kit
- First-Ever Schalke Remake Kit: Adidas is poised to release the first-ever remake kit for FC Schalke 04, marking a significant event since their reunion in 2022.
- Expected Release and Era: The Adidas Schalke 2026-2027 remake shirt is anticipated to launch in early 2027, with the 1990s being the most likely decade for its inspiration.
- Historic Design Pool: Adidas has an extensive catalog of historic Schalke designs from their 48-year sponsorship between 1970 and 2018, with the 1990s potentially inspiring a reproduction of the iconic "Eurofighters" UEFA Cup-winning kit from 1997.
Update - Sunday, June 14, 2026: Adidas will re-release the Schalke 1997 home kit. The kit was worn in the 1996-97 & 1997-98 seasons with different sponsors - Kärcher and Veltins. We do not know which will be re-released, but Veltins is surely the more iconic sponsor - while Kärcher was worn in the victorious 1997 UEFA Pokal final.
The Adidas Schalke 1997 remake kit is the first reedition for FC Schalke 04, marking a highly anticipated milestone for the Gelsenkirchen side.

Schalke 26-27 Remake Kit
Original Adidas Schalke 1997-1998 kit.
The Adidas Schalke 2026-2027 remake shirt takes us back in the past century, and the year 1997 in particular - when Schalke won the UEFA Cup.
Adidas had a massive, unprecedented catalog of historic Schalke designs to choose from, having continuously served as the club's technical sponsor for a staggering 48 years between 1970 and 2018 before a brief four-year stint with Umbro. The 2027 remake is a faithful reproduction of the iconic, baggy template worn by the legendary "Eurofighters" who famously lifted the UEFA Cup in 1997.
The Adidas FC Schalke 2026-2027 remake jersey will be launched in early 2027.

South Africa Debut Silver Adidas Climacool Cooling Jacket At 2026 World Cup
South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.
The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.
FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove 7 Stars From 2026 World Cup Kit And Change Numbers Color
FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.
