Adidas Creates Special 2026 World Cup Referee Kits for Host Country Officials

Officials from the United States, Mexico, and Canada are wearing special custom versions of the Adidas 2026 referee kits, featuring the iconic Three Stripes on the sleeves in the colors of their respective national flags.

The bespoke designs add a subtle patriotic touch to the standard referee uniform. USA referee Tori Penso was seen wearing a kit with red, white, and blue stripes during the Czechia versus South Africa match. Similarly, Mexican official Katia Itzel Garcia wore green, white, and red stripes, while Canadian referee Drew Fischer officiated in a jersey featuring red, white, and red stripes.

These custom colorways build upon the new referee templates introduced by Adidas for the 2026 tournament, which prominently feature the brand's signature stripes on the sleeves and shorts.

There has been no official announcement from Adidas regarding these custom kits, making it a surprising and exclusive detail for the host country officials.
