Adidas Messi Argentina 2026 Special Shirt
The new Adidas Messi Argentina signature jersey features a unique take on the traditional Albiceleste look. It showcases a prominent central white stripe flanked by sky blue sides. The standput feature is Argentina's sunburst, created with a horizontal line graphic pattern.
Instead of the standard Adidas maker's mark, the right chest bears Lionel Messi’s signature 'M' logo in metallic gold, positioned opposite the three-star AFA crest.
Contrasting details are added through a black crew-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs, both of which are finished with elegant gold piping. The trademark white three stripes run down the shoulders. A standout custom element is located on the upper back just below the neck, where a special gold Sun of May graphic elegantly houses Messi's iconic number 10.
The nameset is gold with a black border, based on the font used for the 2026 World Cup.

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.
