adidas presented kits for 26 national teams for the new playing season. With the exclusive away kit for the Ukrainian national team, the brand continues to draw inspiration from historic symbols of statehood — a theme introduced in the home kit. The team will play its next match on March 26 against Sweden in the World Cup 2026 qualifying playoffs
About the design
The key feature of the kit is a new jersey with a geometric print that, according to adidas, represents the continuity of Ukrainian coats of arms. The Vasyl Krychevskyi trident used in the home kit (which we covered here. — Ed. note, DTF Magazine) is now complemented by the trident of Volodymyr the Great, its interpretation by Mykola Bytynskyi, and the modern State Emblem of Ukraine.
‘The new away kit reflects the continuity of the Ukrainian symbol, — adidas explains. — This sign [the trident] has passed through the centuries as a symbol of statehood. The new adidas design emphasizes this continuity and highlights that Ukrainian symbols have deep roots and an uninterrupted history’.
Another feature of the kit is the logo. For the first time in 36 years, the adidas Originals Trefoil logo — the so-called ‘three-leaf’ — returns to the football kits of all national teams. It is placed on the right side of the chest on each jersey. On the left are the federations’ logos, including the Ukrainian Association of Football’s logo.
‘Inspired by 90s football culture, each design is reimagined for the modern era. It combines athletic functionality with a cultural code that connects players and fans’.
‘Competing for the right to participate in the final part of the 2026 World Cup, we represent a modern team of modern Ukraine. It is important that the new away kit combines this image with symbols that carry particular significance for our country and reminds us who we are’, UAF President Andrii Shevchenko added.
More about the kit
The jersey is made from jacquard fabric using CLIMACOOL+ technology, which effectively wicks away moisture. It also features engineered 3D fabrics with zonal material placement.
The adidas three stripes on the shoulders are integrated into the jersey with a special herringbone seam for improved breathability.
