This is the new Adidas 26 referee jersey.
The new Adidas 26 referee jersey features a rather simple design, but with more detailing than usual. It has a round collar with white trim, two pockets with the same white trim, plus matching sleeve cuffs. The Adidas logo is in the center of the shirt.
The most striking feature of the Adidas 2026 referee jersey is the three stripes on the shoulders - it is the first time that an Adidas referee kit has 3 stripes.
Indeed, the Referee 2026 jersey by Adidas would look like a usual kit if there weren't the pockets.

The new Adidas Referee 226 football jersey is available in five colorways - black, hi-vis yellow, hi-vis orange, light blue, and light purple.
