The Germany shirt for the 2018 World Cup

The World Champions are going to defend their title in the next World Cup with style. adidas just revealed this morning the new jersey that the German team will use during in Russia the upcoming summer. The jersey is inspired by one of the most iconic jerseys in the Wolrd Cup history: the one worn by Germany during Italia '90 when they won the title against Maradona's Argentina.

The graphic is inspired by that legendary design that incorporates all the geometric taste and fantasy of the '90s fashion. Of course, adidas renew it a little bit: the colorway changed from the Germany's flag color scheme to a more contemporary black and white, features shades of grey and black that are created using differently sized black lines, similar to the Mexico kit for the tournament. The chest band is also reverted and moved higher up the shirt compared to the 1990 top, with the front numbers appearing centered just below the shape. The overlap collar of the Germany 2018 World Cup home kit is a direct copy of the one used on the original shirt. The uniform is completed by black shorts and white socks with the DFB logo on the front.

From a technical perspective, adidas choose to use its Climachill template by Adidas: It is longer in the middle compared to the sides and features a new authenticity tag above the hem on the right side, and the Climachill logo above the left hem. In a video posted on adidas' Youtube channel, they explained the concept of the jersey called "From authenticity to progression" and the process of design.
