Footy Headlines has received specific details regarding the controversial colorways and questionable patterns that are set to disappoint fans of both historic clubs next year.
Real Madrid 26-27: A Controversial Green & Pink Palette
For Los Blancos, the issue comes down to a highly unusual and messy color combination, plus arbitrarily designed away and third kits.
- Home Kit: The iconic white home shirt will be paired with a highly controversial green and pink accent colorway. This tricolor combination clashes heavily and disrupts the classic, clean look Madridistas expect
- Away & Third Kits: The green and pink theme continues across the rest of the collection. The away and third shirts will be predominantly colored in green and pink, in our opinion, really mediocre and uninspired graphic designs.
Eintracht Frankfurt 26-27: "Barcode Vibes"
For the Bundesliga side, the disappointment lies in the execution of their famous stripes, though there is one big silver lining for SGE supporters.
- Home Kit: Frankfurt's 26-27 home shirt will feature what sources describe as "awful stripes" giving off "barcode vibes." Instead of classic, evenly spaced vertical striping, the design utilizes an erratic, uneven line pattern that misses the mark entirely.
- Third Kit: Similarly to the home shirt, the third kit is also reportedly "not a hit" and features a largely forgettable design.
- The Saving Grace (Away Kit): It isn't all bad news for Frankfurt. We are told that the 26-27 Trefoil Away Kit is the sole exception in this lineup, featuring a very classy and clean aesthetic that should be a massive hit with the fans.
Compared to the designs being cooked up for other elite Adidas teams for the 26-27 season, the collections for Madrid and Frankfurt feel like massive missed opportunities.
