Uzbekistan's 7SABER 2026 World Cup Kits Copy Adidas 2026 'Three Stripe' Fabric
- Kit Design: Uzbekistan's 2026 World Cup kits, made by 7SABER, have a fabric that closely resembles Adidas' new material for the 2026 World Cup.
- Fabric Similarity: The texture and three-stripe knit pattern of the 7SABER jerseys are nearly identical to Adidas' authentic fabric, raising suspicions of copying.
- Fabric Origin: It is suggested that 7SABER obtained the Adidas-like fabric from overseas manufacturers that replicate big brands' materials.
The recent unveiling of the Uzbekistan 2026 World Cup home and away kits by local sportswear brand 7SABER got us noting something unexpected. The underlying base fabric of the new 7SABER jerseys bears a highly suspicious, identical resemblance to the brand-new proprietary authentic material developed by Adidas for their own 2026 World Cup and 2026-2027 club releases.
Uzbekistan Kits Feature Almost the Same Fabric As Adidas Kits
Macro photography of the new white Uzbekistan away shirt reveals the exact nature of the material in question. Surrounding the heat-pressed 7SABER logo is a highly distinct, textured knit featuring three stripe lines specifically designed for elite breathability and moisture wicking. This exact weave pattern matches the authentic fabric that Adidas has just introduced across its top-tier performance templates in November 2025, leading many observers to conclude that the Uzbek brand has directly copied the German giant's technological blueprint.
It is not uncommon in the modern sportswear manufacturing industry for smaller independent brands to use fabrics that are more or less the same as those of the big brands, look-wise - Nike's Vaporknit has been popular ever since. The striking physical similarity between the two brands' fabrics is impossible to ignore.
Indeed, these knit patterns are available via overseas manufacturers, who copy the fabrics of the big brands. 7SABER/their manufacturer apparently got the replica Adidas knit fabric that way.
How do you think 7SABER got this "Adidas" fabric? Let us know in the comments below.
