Adidas is going all out for their German national football team sendoff with two kits already confirmed for use. Then out of nowhere, they dropped a clip where male and female players from the past and present gathered to discuss their favorite Germany kit of all time, essentially confirming the release of the reported final kit:
If you can’t see the video, I’ve put the subtitles here and you may view the video later on.
Nick Woltemade (wearing the reissued 1990 away kit): We are here to settle on question only.
Deniz Undav (wearing the current home kit): Which is Germany’s best jersey of all time?
Per Mertesacker (wearing the away kit from 2014): I don’t understand all these questions!
Jürgen Klinsmann: In this jersey (1996 home), we won at Wembley! (Euro 1996)
Nia Künzer (wearing the women’s home kit from 2003): Golden goal in LA (2003 Women’s World Cup)
Philipp Lahm (wearing the 2006 home kit): USA, Wembley; only the summer fairytale really had the right vibes.
Florian Wirtz (wearing the 2024 away kit [the pink one]): Did somebody say vibes?
Mertesacker: That’s a clear one: 2014!
*Woltemade nods and takes notes.
Jonathan Tah (wearing the 125th anniversary home kit): I’m more of a ‘back to the roots’ kind of guy.
Jule Brand: Come on! Show me a jersey that’s fresh other than this one (Women’s away kit 2023). I’ll wait.
*Man wearing reissued 1994 kit answers ringing phone.
Wirtz: How about something typically German? Pink, for example.
Manuel Neuer (wearing the orange goalkeeper kit from this year): What?
1994 kit man: 1994 called, they say it’s clear.
Lahm: *visibly disagrees
Joachim Low: Can I see the one from Per again?
*Woltemade nods and takes notes.
Linda Dallmann (wearing the women’s away kit from 2025): That’s not a jersey, that’s a work of art!
Neuer, doing the timeout sign: Wait, stop! Could we maybe talk about goalkeeper jerseys?
Giulia Gwinn: Why not just wear a jacket?
Wirtz: Mic drop.
Lahm: *shaking head his head as he puts it in his hands.
Undav: Quick question for the group: What about this one here? (holds up pattern of proposed colorway)
Low: So if you ask me…that smells like extra time.
Klinsmann: *rests his head on right hand, slight shake of the head.
The clip ends with the classic Adidas logo, the crest of the German national football team beside it, and the release date of November 3, 2026 below them.
