France 2022 World Cup vs Possible 3-Star Kits
Original Article: Adidas to Release Argentina 3 Stars Kit If Argentina Win 2022 World Cup?
On Sunday, the 2022 FIFA World Cup final will take place. South American giants Argentina have reached the final with a safe 3-0 victory against Croatia - if Argentina gain their third star on Sunday, will it be possible to buy a kit with 3 stars?
Most Argentina kits are already sold out
Currently, all Adidas Argentina 2022 World Cup kits with Messi printing are sold out. Other versions of the Adidas Argentina 2022 kits are also unavailable due to the high demand.
Adidas to Release Argentina 3-Star Home Kit Directly After Possible World Cup Title?
It is not known what plans Adidas have in the case that Argentina win the title. There are apparently two options - the Three Stripes could add a third star above the existing two stars, or release a new kit with three stars next together.

Argentina 3 Stars Mock-Up #2 - Current Kit With 1 Star on Top (Not Probable)
2014 - Adidas Pre-Produce New 5,000 Germany Kits With 4 Stars Next Together
In 2014, when Germany won the World Cup and their fourth star, Adidas did not place a fourth star above the three stars but release new 4-Star Germany kits. 5000 kits with the fourth star were available to buy directly after the final. Adidas pre-produced 5000 kits before the final.
2018 - Nike Reveal New France 2-Star Minutes After Triumph, More Than One Month Until It Becomes Available
In 2018, when France gained their second star, Nike did also release a new France kit instead of a 2-star makeshift jersey. The France 2 Star jersey was revealed just minutes after France won the final. However, it then took more than a month until the France 2 Star kit was available to buy.
Morocco could gain their first star, making things easy for Puma
If Morocco win the 2022 World Cup, things would be very easy for Puma. The first star could be simply added above the crest.
Of course, the 2022 World Cup champions will also gain the gold 2022 World Cup winners badge. France could keep their gold badge, just with 2022 instead of 2018. This would mean that they have had the gold badge for at least 8 years.
Would you like Adidas to add the third star above the existing two if Argentina win the title? Comment below.

Newcastle United Deny Adidas Stadium Sponsorship Rumors
Speculation surfaced online suggesting that Newcastle United were in discussions with kit supplier Adidas regarding a potential stadium sponsorship deal for St James' Park. The German sportswear brand already has a major presence across the stadium following the launch of their lucrative kit partnership, featuring branding across the stands and stadium facilities.
However, reports linking Adidas to an official stadium sponsorship deal have been swiftly shot down. According to Telegraph journalist Luke Edwards, Newcastle United are not in talks with the three stripes brand over stadium naming or presenting rights, with club sources strongly denying any Adidas involvement in such negotiations.
While Adidas is ruled out, Newcastle are actively in preliminary talks with other international commercial partners for a stadium sponsorship agreement. The club's commercial leadership aims to drive substantial revenue growth in the coming years while maintaining the historic St James' Park name alongside any prospective sponsor.
No More Warrix: Hummel Uthai Thani 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
Danish sportswear brand Hummel has officially revealed the new 2026-27 kit collection for Thai League side Uthai Thani FC. The launch marks a new kit partnership for the Thai club, with Hummel continuing to expand its presence across Thai football for the 26-27 campaign.
The Uthai Thani 26-27 home kit features a bold red base combined with contrasting black raglan shoulder panels and white sleeve sections, accented by the classic Hummel chevrons. The away jersey takes on a rich blue look covered in an intricate all-over graphic pattern and paired with white-and-blue striped trim on the collar and cuffs. Rounding out the outfield options, the third shirt showcases a soft light blue to pale yellow vertical gradient on the body, framed by black and yellow shoulder detailing.
Hummel also presented three distinct goalkeeper strips for the season in lime green, dark charcoal with orange accents, and a sandy tan colorway with light blue trim. All shirts in the collection proudly feature Uthai Thani FC's elephant crest on the chest alongside Chang and GRC sponsorship branding.
Ajax Player' Goalkeeper Kit Was Manually Created by the Club
A curious detail has emerged regarding AFC Ajax's kit specifications for the 26-27 season. While Ajax outfield players take the pitch wearing standard replica-spec shirts with embroidered crests and fan-grade fabric, goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has been spotted wearing a genuine player-issue authentic Adidas shirt.
The difference comes down to how Adidas structures its team tiers and produces goalkeeper templates. Since Ajax is not currently classified as an Adidas Elite partner, the three stripes brand does not manufacture dedicated authentic player-spec versions for their outfield kits. However, Adidas makes authentic base goalkeeper shirts available to its clubs, complete with lightweight Climacool+ performance fabric, printed Adidas branding, and the official authentic hem jocktag.
To prepare the shirt for matchday, Ajax manually customized the blank authentic goalkeeper template in-house by heat-applying the club's three-starred crest and sponsor graphics. This process allows ter Stegen to wear a true high-performance shirt on the pitch, even as the rest of the squad continues to play in standard replica shirts.
