New Jersey before the World Cup: The DFB team now plays in blue
The German national football team unveiled its new away jersey, which will be worn during the 2026 World Cup, featuring a deep blue design reminiscent of historical training tops.
The German Football Association (DFB) and sportswear company adidas have revealed the new away jersey for the national team, which players will wear at the 2026 World Cup. This new kit features a deep blue color, designed to evoke the historical training tops previously worn by the DFB team while retaining the design elements from the home jersey. Additionally, the jersey incorporates turquoise accents and diagonal striped patterns inspired by earlier adidas shoebox designs.
National player Florian Wirtz expressed his approval of the new design, calling it 'unusual – but really good,' indicating a positive sentiment towards the fresh look. The team is set to sport this new jersey during their upcoming international matches, marking a significant update to their traditional style. This change is especially noteworthy as it aligns with the DFB's modern branding while also paying homage to its storied past.
This unveiling comes ahead of an important period for the national team as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup. Notably, it has been announced that Nike will take over as the official kit supplier for the DFB starting in 2027, suggesting a shift in branding and partnership that could influence future designs and team representation in global tournaments.
