Germanyâ€s home kit for the 2026 World Cup has leaked online – and it pays tribute to one of the nationâ€s most beloved designs.
In images shared by Footy Headlines, adidas have gone retro with a shirt that closely mirrors the strip worn when West Germany lifted the trophy in 1990.
As tradition dictates, the jersey is predominantly white, with black adidas shoulder stripes and red-and-black cuff trims. But the standout feature is the flag-inspired motif: black, red, and yellow stripes sweep diagonally from each shoulder, meeting in the middle to form a striking V-shaped diamond pattern across the chest.

Itâ€s an unmistakable nod to the 1990 World Cup-winning shirt, which carried a similar design – though that version placed the stripes off-centre.
Other details include the four stars above the DFB crest, each printed with the years of Germanyâ€s triumphs – 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014 – plus black shorts and white socks to complete the set.
A nostalgic throwback to one of footballâ€s most iconic shirts, the design is expected to go down well with fans – who will be hoping Die Mannschaft can channel the spirit of 1990 in North America next summer.
