Adidas Originals Benfica 1980-81 Retro Shirt Released
, by Chris
Benfica and Adidas Originals have officially launched a faithful reissue of the club's iconic 1980-81 home shirt. Billed under the campaign slogan "a mística. reencarnada." (the mystique. reincarnated.), the Bringback release celebrates a landmark chapter in the Portuguese giants' history, paying homage to the very first Benfica shirt to display the classic Adidas Trefoil.
The shirt faithfully captures the simple aesthetic of the early 1980s with its classic red base, ribbed white round collar, matching white cuffs, and the signature three stripes running down the full length of the long sleeves. The retro look is completed with a vintage embroidered Benfica crest on the left chest and the iconic Adidas Trefoil on the right chest, both executed in raised relief without any front-of-shirt sponsor clutter.
Unveiled alongside current first-team stars and celebrated by ten club legends from that historic era, the Benfica 1980-81 retro jersey is crafted from 100% recycled polyester in a relaxed lifestyle fit. The piece is available now through the official Benfica store.
