Argentina: World Cup Champions (1978, 1986, 2022)

The kit of the defending champions is recognizable all around the world. Nicknamed La Albiceleste (white and sky blue), the team will once again feature the striped top that has brought them success throughout the years. And as World Cup holders, their kits will continue to have gold accents on their crest (complete with three stars) and on the adidas trefoil, as well as the badge that signifies their victory at Qatar 2022.Â
The traditional stripes incorporate blue tones from the three previous title-winning shirts from 1978, 1986 and 2022. The back neck also harkens to the year of 1893, which celebrates the founding of the country’s football association.Â
Germany: World Cup Champions (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014)

Few teams are as synonymous with adidas as in Germany, the country where the company is based. This year’s kit is inspired by previous editions, and incorporates the repeating diamond shape and chevron design, including the 2014 World Cup winning shirt.
Italy: World Cup Champions (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006)

Italy is trying to get into the World Cup for the first time since 2014, and if they do so, they’ll be looking ever so sharp. Italian football is linked with signature blue kits (inspired by the Savoy azure), and these editions lean into that history.Â
Italy has often used solid blue tops, but these new kits include a leaf-like repeating design with a darker shade of color. The crest features pop with the gold accents and the colors of the Italian flag, while the neck back utilizes the “Azzurra” nickname for the squad.Â
Mexico: World Cup Quarterfinalists (1970, 1986)

Mexico returns to green after using solid black kits over the past year, and this will remind El Tri fans of the kits from the 1998 World Cup that are still revered to this day. In this new version, the usage of Aztec symbols is front in center, with red and white accents along the neck and sleeves. Â
The back of the neck has the slogan “Somos México”, which is aimed to inspire unity for a team that will have World Cup matches on its home soil for an unprecedented third time. In its previous duties as hosts, Mexico has advanced to the quarterfinals and even with the knockout stages solely being played in the U.S. in 2026, expect to see green-clad crowds should the team make a deep run.Â
Spain: World Cup Champions (2010)

Always among the most regal-looking teams at the World Cup, Spain will shine in 2026 with their red-based kits. Spain has recently sported an all-red top but will now use dark blue sleeves with bright accents throughout the look. The yellow of the middle stripe on the shoulders matches the pinstripes that dot the front, as well as the outline of the crest.
If you look closely, you can see the yellow pinstripes are bordered by a darker shade of red that coincides with the background of the crest. The back of the neck incorporates “España” in a unique script with both the lower-case N and tilde getting the highlight treatment.Â
