EXCLUSIVE: Adidas to Release Schalke 1997 Remake Kit
Jun 14, 2026, by Chris
- 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.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
