Leaked: Germany 2026 Third Kit — Black, Gold & Pinstripes

TL;DR

• Adidas Germany’s 2026 third kit has leaked in a black, gold and white colourway built around vertical gold pinstripes.
• The shirt pairs a white Adidas Originals trefoil with a monochrome DFB crest and white three stripes on the sleeves.
• If the rumoured Nike switch goes through, this could be Adidas’ farewell third shirt for Die Mannschaft.

The Leak

Fresh images shared on social by leakers KamilBerberler and aawagner011, and aggregated by Footy Headlines, give us our first proper look at the Adidas Germany 2026 third kit. The shirt is expected to launch in the second half of 2026, slotting in alongside the home and away tops already on the radar for the World Cup cycle.

The release timing also matters because Germany’s long-running Adidas partnership is rumoured to end in 2027, with Nike reportedly taking over. That has not been formally confirmed, but it does add weight to the idea that this third shirt could be one of the last Adidas DFB jerseys in serious circulation.

Design Breakdown

Base and graphic. The shell is jet black, broken up by thin gold vertical pinstripes running down the front of the shirt. It gives the kit a pinstripe-suit feel rather than the chaotic prints we have seen on recent Germany thirds.

Collar and trim. A clean V-neck finished with white and gold trim, matched by gold piping inside the placket. Sleeve cuffs follow the same colour story.

Crest and branding. The DFB crest appears in monochrome on the left chest, paired with a white Adidas Originals trefoil on the right. The use of the Originals mark, rather than the standard performance trefoil, hints at a lifestyle-leaning third release.

Sleeves. Adidas’ three stripes return on the shoulders in white, providing the only real flash of contrast against the black body.

How It Compares

Germany’s recent third kits have leaned hard into bold concepts: the pink 2024 Euros third was an instant cult classic, while the 2022 World Cup black third drew comparisons with the famous 2014 black-and-red away. This 2026 third is closer in spirit to that 2022 effort, but the gold pinstripes and Originals trefoil push it towards a more retro, tailored aesthetic. Expect plenty of cross-shopping with off-pitch streetwear rather than just on-pitch fans.

When Can You Buy It?

Adidas is expected to drop the kit in the second half of 2026, in line with its usual third-kit release window. While we wait for the official launch, you can already shop the rest of the Germany 2026 World Cup range — including the Germany 2026 polo jersey and the Germany 2026 World Cup home shorts. We’ll add the third shirt to the catalogue as soon as stock lands.
