adidas bring back the Trefoil for 5 European Third Shirts
Known for its contemporary street style, the trefoil has been reserved for adidas Originals and limited-edition pieces since 2000. As adidas approaches its 75th anniversary in 2025, it’s reintroducing the trefoil on the pitch to celebrate both its legacy and the growing influence of fashion in football.
Designed for top performance, these lightweight shirts incorporate adidas’ latest HEAT RDY technology and are crafted in collaboration with each club. Unlike the sporty elongated hem of the home and away kits, these shirts feature a casual straight hem and include a woven trefoil label, flat-knit collar, and cuffs. For Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Juventus, the shirts also showcase unique club crests, replacing the standard designs on this season’s other kits.
Real Madrid
The Real Madrid 24/25 Third shirt blends classic style with modern flair, showcasing a sleek dark grey colour scheme. It features a sophisticated all-over "RMCF" monogram pattern, borrowed from the lettering used on traditional Madrid street signs. This design perfectly merges timeless elegance with contemporary vibes.
Juventus
For this season, Juventus' 24/25 Third shirt continues its lunar-inspired theme, now reflecting the moon’s shimmer in the night sky. The design features a refined starry night colour scheme in navy blue, accented with gold details and a subtle all-over graphic. This celestial shirt boasts an elegant polo collar and a gold ‘Juventus’ emblem on the back neck. Instead of the usual club crest, the shirt sports a gold silhouette of Juventus's iconic zebra.
Bayern Munich
Designed for dazzling performances and standout style, the new FC Bayern 24/25 Third jersey merges the club's signature red and white colours with adidas’ heritage. It features a sleek, tonal diamond graphic and revives a classic club badge from the 1970s, paying tribute to some of the club’s most celebrated years. The flat-knit polo collar and an FCB sign-off on the back neck add finishing touches to a jersey that's sure to make an impact both on and off the pitch.
Manchester United
The Man Utd 24/25 Third kit celebrates the club’s global fanbase with its vibrant red, white, and black tricolour flag displayed prominently across the chest. This design allows supporters to showcase their pride in the Red Devils like never before, with the flag also featured as a back neck sign-off. The jersey sports a seasonal crew neck collar, and instead of the traditional crest, it proudly features the iconic club devil for a sleek, stylish look.
Arsenal
Arsenal’s 24/25 Third kit blends bold style with a touch of nostalgia, perfect for Gunners worldwide. Featuring a sharp crew neck collar and matching sleeve details, it highlights the elegance of the trefoil and the cannon crest, present across all three kits this season. This vibrant design delivers a striking look that captures pride, inspiration, and a sense of belonging, resonating from the streets of North London and beyond.
