adidas has unveiled all the Away kits for the 2026 World Cup The trefoil is back for the first time in 36 years

adidas is gearing up for the 2026 World Cup by unveiling the new Away jerseys. As with Italy, the defining feature of these kits is the trefoil, adidas’ vintage logo that will take center stage at a World Cup for the first time in 36 years. Drawing on the unique culture of each nation, the Away jerseys reinterpret classic adidas World Cup aesthetics—such as geometric patterns and stylized vertical lines—through a modern and contemporary lens that resonates with both fans and athletes.

Argentina and Germany

For example, Argentina’s new Away jersey draws from the nation’s rich artistic heritage, featuring a distinctive blue spiral graphic pattern inspired by traditional motifs. Germany’s concept continues the visual language introduced with the Home jersey; diagonal chevrons are reinterpreted as an all-over navy motif, forming a rhythmic repetition of three interconnected shapes. The color palette blends tones from different eras of DFB history, including a nod to the classic blue cardigans worn in 1954.

Japan

The jersey for Japan is without a doubt the most surprising. It comes to life through a striped graphic featuring 12 distinct colors combined to represent unity and national connection, both on and off the pitch. Eleven gradient vertical lines cascade down the jersey with a rain-like effect, symbolizing each of the 11 players on the field.

Mexico

For Mexico, one of the host countries, adidas developed a concept where a gray all-over graphic decorates a white base, influenced by “Grecas” motifs typical of traditional Mexican art and architecture—directly referencing the country’s rich history. The recurring all-over motif features a repetition of abstract steps, referencing the stepped exteriors often seen in traditional Mexican buildings.

Belgium, Scotland and Spain

The Belgium Away jersey features an all-over motif in shades of light blue, pink and white, created as a tribute to Belgian artist René Magritte and the country’s iconic surrealist movement. For Spain, an intricate pyrite-colored all-over pattern inspired by the illustrations and graphics found in classic books and manuscripts dots an off-white base that echoes the color of a printed page, while Scotland sees adidas reintroduce scarlet red tones in a nod to the history of some of its classic kits.

Colombia

The design of Colombia’s Away jersey features a repeating all-over pattern that blends the darker blues of the Pacific Ocean with the lighter tones of the Caribbean Sea, brought to life through staggered vertical lines. A bold yellow detail on the three stripes, cuffs and logos is echoed in the word “COLOMBIA” on the back of the collar, evoking a strong sense of pride and connection to the territory.

South Africa, Qatar and Algeria

The South Africa Away jersey stands out with a traditional green base accented by white and gold details on the collar—a tribute to the prestige and growth of football in the country. An abstract gray wave graphic fills the Qatar Away jersey, inspired by desert sand dunes whose geometry echoes the country’s breathtaking landscapes. “Qatar” appears in Arabic on the back of the collar as a symbol of national pride and unity. Meanwhile, the Algeria jersey features vertical green stripes on a striking deep green base, reflecting the nation’s unique landscapes and traditional color palette.

Curacao and Saudi Arabia

For Curaçao’s World Cup debut, adidas celebrates the capital Willemstad and the colorful buildings of the districts of Punda and Otrobanda, represented in the design through a pastel yellow base and bold stripes in pink, turquoise and orange. The Saudi Arabia Away jersey instead features a custom woven motif—often found in traditional garments—on a pearlescent white base that captures the vibrant essence of Saudi fashion. The logo and crest are finished with real gold details, while the neckline and number are subtly highlighted in deep green.
