While the recently-launched Adidas 2026 World Cup home kits reuse the existing authentic badge, Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that the upcoming away kits will feature a brand-new, high-tech authentic badge. Big thanks to Mantos do Futebol.
Adidas 2026 World Cup Away Kit Authentic Badge
The new Adidas 2026 away kit authentic badge is a complete departure from the simple rectangles of the past. It features a unique, organic shape, almost like a concave triangle or a tri-lobe.
The badge has a stunning holographic and iridescent finish, with intricate contour lines that create a sense of depth and a moiré effect as the light hits it.
At the center is the word "AUTHENTIC", which is encircled by the classic Adidas slogan in three languages:
- The Brand With the 3 Stripes (English)
- Die Weltmarke Mit Den 3 Streifen (German)
- La Marque Aux 3 Bandes (French)
This new design will replace the black rectangular "Trefoil-style" authentic badge that has been used on Adidas' third kits in recent seasons.
This new, futuristic Adidas authentic badge will be used on all authentic (Climacool+) versions of the Adidas 2026 World Cup away kits, which are scheduled to be released in March 2026.
