Adidas Creates Special Cut For Colombia, Germany & Russia 2018 World Cup Home Jerseys To Optimize Visual Shirt Design

Spain's 2018 World Cup kit features a regular cut, while Germany's strip comes with a special cut in the shoulders area.

Adidas' 2018 World Cup home kits for Germany, Colombia and Russia feature a cut that exceed the shoulders area, in strong opposite to regular football kits. But why has Adidas created this strange, unusual cut for the jerseys?

The designers of the Three Stripes wanted the jerseys to look as similar as possible as the 1990s-inspiration of the kits. However, the jerseys in the 1990s featured a much different cut than today's soccer kits, so the Three Stripes created this strange cut for both the authentic and replica versions of three home kits (Colombia, Germany, Russia).

It remains to be seen if there are any performance restriction because of the different cut.

Germany's kit would have looked like very different with a standard cut...

It is not known which / if any Adidas 2018 World Cup away kit will feature a special cut. Those leaked so far (Colombia, Mexico) have a normal cut.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge

Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.

Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.

However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.

Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
