Exclusive: Adidas Trefoil Set for MLS-Wide Rollout
, by Chris
- Adidas Trefoil MLS Rollout: The iconic Adidas Trefoil logo is set to be featured on regular Major League Soccer away kits across the league starting from the 2027-28 season, expanding its presence beyond previous limited uses.
- Implementation Timeline: Due to MLS clubs' two-year jersey lifecycle, the Trefoil will be progressively introduced on all new away kits launching in 2027, with the Inter Miami 27-28 away kit already showcasing this change.
- Global Strategy Alignment: This move aligns with Adidas' broader global strategy to use the Trefoil on elite third kits and subsequently on away kits for top European clubs and federations, positioning MLS away designs under the Adidas Originals lifestyle umbrella.
Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo is set to arrive on regular Major League Soccer kits starting from the 2027-28 season. While the classic mark has previously appeared on Inter Miami's third shirts, this move marks the very first time the Trefoil will take over regular away kits across MLS.
MLS 27-28 Away Kits to Feature Trefoil
Leading the way is the Inter Miami 27-28 away kit, which has surfaced as a stealthy blackout design devoid of the club's traditional pink. Crucially, the jersey prominently features the Adidas Trefoil on the right chest in place of the standard modern Three Stripes performance logo, heralding a massive shift in how MLS jerseys are branded.

Because MLS clubs operate on a two-year jersey lifecycle, alternating between launching a new home shirt one year and an away shirt the next, the rollout will span across multiple seasons. Footy Headlines expects the Trefoil logo to be used on all new MLS away kits launching for 2027 (April-May 2026 - 27-28).
This expansion aligns seamlessly with Adidas' broader global strategy. The German sportswear brand first resurrected the Trefoil on elite third kits for the 24-25 season, before transferring it to away kits for top European clubs and federations for 26-27. Footy Headlines already confirmed that the Trefoil will stay on club away kits for the 27-28 campaign, keeping away designs firmly under the Adidas Originals lifestyle umbrella.
Are you looking forward to seeing the Adidas Trefoil become a permanent fixture on MLS away shirts?
