Leaked: Italy 2027 Y-3 Third Kit, adidas x Yamamoto

TL;DR

• adidas is reported to be preparing a Y-3 third kit for Italy, made with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto and due in 2027.
• It would be the first Y-3 collaboration shirt for the Azzurri. Colours, design and release month have not been revealed.
• This is a leak, not a launch. 433FC does not stock the Y-3 kit, but we do sell other Italy shirts.

The Leak

Italy may be getting a designer-led third shirt. An exclusive from Footy Headlines, published on 19 October 2026, says adidas will work with Yohji Yamamoto and his Y-3 label on a third kit for the national team, with a launch planned for 2027.

The image at the top of this page is not a kit. It is a graphic showing the adidas and Y-3 logos beside the Italia FIGC crest, with its four stars, over a blurred Italian flag. No shirt, sketch or colour sample has surfaced yet, so everything below is what the report says, plus clearly marked expectations.

Neither the Italian federation (FIGC) nor adidas has commented, and no price has been mentioned.

What is actually known

The facts are short. A Y-3 third kit for Italy is planned, it is set for 2027, and it is the first time the country will receive a Y-3 collaboration shirt. Nothing has been said about the colour, the pattern or the collar.

What is expected

The report expects a look that leans towards Yamamoto’s avant-garde, mostly monochrome approach, blended with Italian football elegance. That is a forecast, not a description of a real shirt, so do not read it as a confirmed black or grey kit.

One more detail is expected: as with other Y-3 football shirts, the Y-3 logo should take the place of the usual adidas performance logo on the chest. That would instantly set the shirt apart from the home and away designs.

Y-3 and football so far

This is not the label’s first time on a pitch. Y-3 made the Real Madrid 2014-15 “dragon” kits, and in 2024 it produced flame-themed kits for the Japan national team alongside a large lifestyle range. Our Japan 1998 World Cup flame kit piece looks at the fire motif Japan has used before.

How It Compares

Italy’s home and away shirts are usually royal blue and white, so a third kit is the one place where a federation can take a bigger risk. A fashion house is a natural fit for that slot, and adidas has used special projects before. Compare it with the Real Madrid 2027 Yamamoto remake kit and the Mexico 2010 World Cup remake kit, two other adidas projects in our coverage that bring a special story to a shirt.

When Can You Buy It?

The only timing given is the year 2027. There is no month, no release date and no retail partner mentioned, so any date you see elsewhere is a guess until adidas or the FIGC speak.

FAQ

Is this the real kit?

No kit has been shown. Footy Headlines reports that the collaboration is planned, but colours and design are unknown, and neither the FIGC nor adidas has confirmed anything. The graphic with this story only shows logos and a crest.

When does it release?

The report says 2027. No month or date has been given, so treat the timing as open until a launch is announced.
