adidas are pillars of the football shirt world.
If you ask someone what the greatest shirt of all time is, they’ll most likely reply with one of two adidas shirts (I hope I don’t have to tell you which?). The 80s and 90s were flat out dominated by the three stripes, and even though Nike rose to prominence in the late 90s to challenge the crown, it’s been something of a closely-fought two horse race in the years since.
Whenever a club joins adidas (think Leeds or Celtic this year), fans typically rejoice. Other fans look on in jealously, even though many hardcore members of the kit community have questioned adidas over their overuse of templates and persistence on using plain backs in recent years (maybe that’s just me…).
Regardless, any conversation centred around adidas is bound to be an aesthetically pleasing one. In a similar vein to our question about Kappa, we sought to find the best adidas shirts of all time with the help of the all-knowing source of wisdom that is Twitter.
This week we're talking about kit manufacturers. 🗣️

Marseille and adidas clearly left a mark on people, and rightly so.
Gotta be some 90's Marseille in there, très beau! pic.twitter.com/ufmhE0wRdt

Where to begin? I would've gone early 90s Marseille home as they were the first European side I connected with on account of Chris Waddle. So let's do away instead 💙.. pic.twitter.com/W9VWKZFdcc

No one has ever managed to execute the pinstripe look as well as adidas.

Sometimes a brand and team are meant to be together. Step forward adidas and France.

Like France, Brighton and adidas had a very aesthetically pleasing relationship.
I'd give my left arm to have Adidas making Brighton kits again 😍 pic.twitter.com/yvbMMVgTZ8

Several people offered up kits from the Hibs x adidas days, and it was a welcome shout.

adidas were pioneers in the goalkeeper kit game, perhaps most famously with this design.

The release of Southampton's 2023 home shirt was more than 2 years in the making. Since the announcement of the club's return to hummel in 2021, a remake of The Saints iconic 1987-1989 home was on the cards.
