Adidas is all about revivalism now. Having released retro-inspired home kits for the 2018 World Cup, the three-stripe brand now brought out more or less direct remakes of the original shirts that inspired by the new ones. Here's a look at the Adidas Originals Russia (or rather USSR) top.
Adidas Originals Russia 2018 Retro Jersey
This image shows the Adidas 2018 Russia retro shirt.
Pretty much a direct copy of the original design from the late 1980s, the Adidas Russia retro top drops the usual 'CCCP' writing in favor of the English USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
Staying true to the original the shirt is fairly oversized, in particular the sleeves. Finally, the number 9 is printed on the back of the shirt.
The shorts of the Russia retro jersey are as short as the classic ones.
Definitely not one for everyone, the Adidas Originals Russia retro shirt retails at EUR 90.
