Update: Based on the information leaked so far, @inside_muengersdorf has released the first prediction of Köln’s 2026-27 away kit. However, it remains highly speculative, and the final design could be very different.
Footy Headlines can leak that the 1. FC Köln 2026-27 away shirt is set to feature Adidas’ iconic Trefoil logo, marking a notable retro-inspired return for the Bundesliga club.
According to reliable Inside-Müngersdorf information, the use of the classic Adidas Trefoil logo for Köln’s 2026-27 away shirt is almost certain, with a confidence level of around 95%. Only a last-minute design change could still prevent the Trefoil from appearing on the final 1. FC Köln's new 2026-2027 away uniform.

While no final design images have surfaced yet, the Adidas Köln 26-27 away football shirt is very likely to remain predominantly red, in line with the club’s traditional color identity, complemented by white detailing for crests, logos, and accents.
Adidas has reintroduced the Trefoil logo across a growing number of clubs as part of its wider retro strategy, and 1. FC Köln is expected to be among them for the 2026-27 season.
The Trefoil logo holds strong historical significance for Köln. During the 1977-78 season, when the club was outfitted by Adidas, Köln enjoyed one of the most successful campaigns in its history, winning both the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal.
The return of the Trefoil, therefore, directly connects the modern jersey to one of the club’s golden eras.
