9 Away Kits Released By adidas For World Cup 2018

adidas has jumped into World Cup mode, with the release of 9 away kits that will be worn by qualified nations this summer. With the adidas Soccer mantra of authenticity to progression at the heart of each design, the kits have been inspired by jerseys of the past or iconic landmarks, while also featuring the latest adidas product innovations.

Juergen Rank, Senior Design Director said,

For adidas, the World Cup has always been the stage to showcase some of our most iconic products, innovations and designs. Many of these classic designs remain hugely popular with fans, and we want to continue to celebrate them while introducing new innovations, combining authenticity with progression.

Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Sweden are the countries treated to new kits.

The away kit for the current FIFA World Cup holders Germany is a modern interpretation of the famous green 1990 World Cup away jersey worn in the semi-final vs. England. The graphic on the front takes inspiration from the pattern on the Germany home kit while a new collar execution with a two-fabric component construction incorporates the shirt’s graphic, along with the official “DIE MANNSCHAFT” wording on the back.
