In an unexpected move, SL Benfica stepped out in a special Adidas Originals retro kit for their Primeira Liga clash against FC Alverca. Arriving completely out of nowhere, the shirt faithfully recreates the club's 1980-81 home jersey—the very first Benfica kit to feature the Adidas Trefoil logo—showcasing full-length three stripes along the long sleeves, a white crew-neck collar, and the vintage club crest. While the retail version launched as a clean, sponsorless collector's piece, the matchday edition worn by the team on pitch featured Benfica's full modern sponsor package, including Emirates Fly Better across the chest, blending vintage 1980s aesthetics with modern match specifications.

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.
