Germany has unveiled its final adidas jersey The final chapter of a 72-year partnership that produced countless iconic kits.

Before discovering Germany’s final adidas jersey, we revisited many of those that came before it. In the teaser released on Monday, several legendary figures from German football debated which one was the greatest of all time, each drawing on memories from their own era. adidas accompanied the video with a question: “So which one is the best of all time? We might need to add one last one to the mix.” The final screen announced: “ONE LAST JERSEY. 3-11-2026.” Meanwhile, leaks of the new kit had begun circulating on social media.

The official unveiling arrived this afternoon, ahead of the 3 November date initially suggested by the teaser, which will instead mark the beginning of public sales. The farewell kit is black, with thin gold vertical lines running down the front, each formed by a sequence of small diamonds. The V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs feature white and gold trim, while the adidas Trefoil and the German federation crest appear in white on the chest, matching the three stripes on the shoulders. A small patch near the lower-left hem celebrates the historic bond between the German brand and its national team.

The jersey unveiled today is the final chapter of a partnership that began back in 1954: more than seven decades during which the three stripes and the Trefoil became part of the collective identity of the German national team. The current adidas contract will expire on 31 December. The following day will officially mark the end of an era, as Nike takes over.
