Adidas is bringing inspiration from the 1990s — including their retro trefoil logo, which hasn’t been seen on a World Cup pitch since that decade — into the 21st century with a massive set of 25 new national team away kits, which dropped en masse on Friday, March 20.
The kit release includes 13 nations that have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, being co-hosted this summer by Canada, the United States and Mexico. It also includes five countries that still have a chance to secure a World Cup berth through European playoffs later this month, and seven nations that did not qualify but will wear the new away kits for the 2026 international season. (The away kit for Jamaica’s national team, which also still has a chance of qualifying, was released separately in late February.)

GERMANY
Continuing the visual language of the home kit, diagonal chevrons are re-imagined as an all-over pattern in navy blue, forming a rhythmic repeat of three interlocking shapes. The colour palette blends hues from different eras of DFB history. It features a nod to the classic blue quarter zips worn in 1954, as well as the classic blue and white training tops of the 60s, 70s and 80s, while aqua-blue accents reference the bold coloured training wear of the 90s. All engineered to create a striking and strong visual effect.
A subtle flag label sign-off at the hem of the jersey celebrates the long-standing partnership between adidas and Germany since 1954.

JAPAN
Drawing inspiration from the “Colours Beyond the Horizon”, the Japan away design is brought to life through a stripe graphic featuring 12 distinct colours, combining to represent the unity and bond of the nation, on and off the pitch.
Set against an off-white base, 11 fading vertical lines run down the shirt in a rain-like effect, symbolising each of the 11 on-pitch players, while a 12th bold central stripe takes the colour of the red sun of the national flag to represent the heart of the team – it’s fans.
The Japanese flag is stamped proudly across the back of the neck as a mark of national pride and collective identity.

The recurring all-over motif features a repeating pattern of abstract stairs, referencing the stepped exteriors often found on traditional Mexican buildings.

ALGERIA
Inspired by the vibrant colours of the rocky deserts and lush oases found across Algeria, the away jersey features interspersed vertical green stripes set against a striking deep green, reflective of the country’s unique landscapes and traditional palette.
“ALGERIA” is proudly inscribed in Arabic across the back of the neck, connecting the team to their homeland, on their World Cup journey.
BELGIUM
The away jersey adorns an all-over pattern in a light blue, pink and white colourway, formed as a tribute to Belgian artist René Magritte and the famed Belgian surrealist movement. Layered lines and shapes create a sense of depth and movement, in a playful nod to Magritte’s work. Fans will also recognise iconic elements of the nation’s crest, as well as symbols of football, such as the ball and pitch line markings.
A twist on his The Treachery of Images artwork – which traditionally reads ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’ meaning “This is not a pipe”, is visible as subtle detail in the neck of jersey: ‘Ceci n’est pas un maillot’, saying “This is not a jersey”.
COLOMBIA
The away jersey celebrates Colombia’s unique biodiversity, blending the palette of its two coastlines. The design features an all-over repeating pattern that mixes the darker blue shades of the Pacific Ocean and lighter ones of the Caribbean Sea, brought to life through staggered vertical lines.
A bold yellow trim detailing across the 3-stripes, cuffs and logos, is mirrored in the word “COLOMBIA” across the back of the neck, evoking a sense of pride and connection to their land.
CURAÇAO
The Curaçao away kit celebrates the capital city Willemstad and the colourful buildings that reside in its Punda and Otrobanda districts. These districts, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are characterized by vibrant, sunlit facades and are represented across this design via its pastel yellow base and bold pink, turquoise, and orange stripes.
Completing the aesthetic is an intricate blue detailing that flows through the sleeves, cuffs, and the outline of the adidas logo and national badge.
QATAR
An abstract grey wave-like graphic transcends Qatar’s away jersey. Inspired by the desert sand dunes, the pattern takes on the geometry and shapes seen across the breathtaking landscape. “Qatar” is etched in Arabic across the back of the neck, as a symbol of national pride and unity.
SAUDI ARABIA
Saudi Arabia’s away kit features a bespoke weave pattern often found on various traditional garments, against a pearlescent white base – capturing the vibrant essence of Saudi fashion.

Punctuated by thin, purple vertical stripes, it creates a sleek, contemporary update to a timeless design. A purple and green thistle, Scotland’s national flower symbolizing resilience, adorns the back of the neck in a subtle sign-off.
SOUTH AFRICA
The away jersey makes a bold statement in South Africa’s iconic green and gold – a combination of colours deeply rooted in their sporting identity. Blending heritage and sophistication, a traditional green forms the base with detailed white and gold trims on the collar, a tribute to the prestige and progression of football in the country.
Gold and white accents adorn the cuffs and logos, reflecting a timeless elegance, while embodying the nation’s ambition to shine on the football’s biggest stage.

SWEDEN
Taking its visual cues and aesthetics from 70s patterns, three different tones of blue come together on Sweden’s away jersey to form a bold, all-over graphic design, a nod to the nation’s rich cultural heritage. With modern typography on the back of the neck reading ‘Sverige’ – or Sweden in English – this retro influence, blended with a contemporary touch, gives the design a fresh look for today’s fans.
UKRAINE
Influenced by contemporary Ukrainian design, the away jersey features a striking reinterpretation of traditional cultural elements and symbols, creating a bold fusion of heritage and innovation.
