Adidas will be ending its partnership with the German national football team after 72 years together, with Die Mannschaft switching to Nike starting next year. We’ve finally got the last home and away kits, which were worn at the 2026 World Cup (we’ll just avoid talking about the results), and now we have the final ever Adidas kit that Germany will wear at the end of this year:
BFW Analysis
Adidas has rarely flopped with a kit that had black as the base color, both with Germany and Bayern Munich. Think:
Germany
- 2020/21 away
- 2016 and 2024 Goalkeeper 1 (both at the Euros of those years)
- 2024 pre-match training shirt,
- 2010 away
Bayern Munich
- 2025/26 third kit
- 2021/22 away
- 2024/25 fourth goalkeeper kit
- 2014/15 and 2015/16 away kits
I could go on and on, black kits are usually good kits from Adidas. Now granted Germany’s final kit with Adidas does look like a Wolverhampton Wanderers special shirt from 1996/97 or a flipped 2015/16 Hull City home kit, I don’t have a problem with it. Maybe it’s because it’s Germany’s last Adidas kit ever and the fact that I never really rated Nike kits.
