Adidas just dropped something major for their 75th anniversary. They're bringing back the iconic trefoil logo, the one that screams vintage cool, back to the pitch!
Think about it: the trefoil, usually hanging out in the adidas Originals world, is now gracing the jerseys of some of the biggest football clubs out there – Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester United, and Real Madrid. It's a total game-changer, a nod to the past while looking straight into the future of football fashion.
This isn't just about slapping a logo on a jersey, honey. Each club's third kit for the 24/25 season is a unique masterpiece, a fusion of streetwear vibes and their individual club DNA. It's like they took a deep dive into each team's history and modern culture, and came up with something fresh, bold, and totally on-trend.
Sam Handy, the SVP of Product and Design at adidas Football, said it best: “Football and fashion currently co-exist in a proximity that has never been seen before. Our adidas trefoil logo stands for sporting elegance, authentic style and, for many fans, the collective memory of football. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the brand, it’s the perfect time to further mesh these two worlds and bring the trefoil onto the pitch.
It was important for us to extent the legacy of the trefoil by creating new fashionable icons. Third jerseys allow our team to collaborate with the clubs to dig deep into their history and modern culture for new inspiration, and they are often worn by fans as a fashion statement away from the stadium environment. We designed these new kits with one simple mantra in our mind - “beautiful kits for the beautiful game.”
He's right, you know? These jerseys are more than just sportswear; they're fashion statements. They're meant to be worn on and off the field, making a statement wherever you go.
Now, let's break down each club's unique look:
Arsenal:
This kit is a total throwback to the iconic away kits from the 90s, with a fresh, modern twist. Think bold colours, a hint of nostalgia, and a crew neck collar that screams sophistication. The trefoil and the cannon crest are the perfect finishing touches, creating a look that's both vibrant and timeless.
Bayern Munich:
This jersey is all about that classic red and white combo, with a subtle diamond graphic that adds a touch of modern flair. They even brought back a classic club badge from the 70s, celebrating some of Bayern's golden years. The flat-knit polo collar and the FCB sign-off on the back neck complete the look, making it perfect for both the pitch and the streets.
Juventus:
This one is inspired by the moon, specifically its reflection in the night sky. Think navy blue, gold details, and a starry night colour palette. It's sophisticated, elegant, and totally unique. The polo collar and the gold 'Juventus' sign-off on the back neck add a touch of luxury, while the gold silhouette of the Juventus zebra replaces the club crest for a stylish twist.
Manchester United:
This kit is all about celebrating the club's global fanbase. The red, white, and black tricolor flag that unites fans worldwide is emblazoned across the chest, making a bold statement of pride. The flag also appears as a back neck sign-off, so you can show your love for the Red Devils wherever you go. The crew neck collar and the iconic club devil replacing the traditional crest keep it simple yet stylish.
Real Madrid:
This jersey is a perfect blend of classic and contemporary. The dark grey colour palette is timeless, while the engineered "RMCF" monogram pattern adds a modern touch. The flat-knit polo collar, combined with the iconic trefoil, creates a look that's both elegant and on-trend.
So there you have it, loves. adidas has truly outdone themselves with these 24/25 third kits. They're a celebration of football, fashion, and the iconic trefoil logo. Trust me, you're going to want to get your hands on one of these beauties.
