Adidas goes navy, nostalgic and motorsport for 2027

Real Madrid: navy is back

The headline item, according to Footy Headlines, is a 2027 Real Madrid training shirt that marks a return to navy colourways. That shade has been absent from the club's training range for around a quarter of a century, which makes this more than a routine pre-season leak. Navy and Real Madrid have a history, and the idea of it coming back, even in a training context, is the kind of detail that gets the kit community moving.

As always with Footy Headlines leaks, this is pre-release and unconfirmed by Adidas or the club. The design could still shift before anything goes on sale.

Liverpool: two directions at once

For Liverpool, Footy Headlines has two separate pieces. The first is a 2027 racing jacket described as motorsport-inspired, which fits a broader trend in football apparel where clubs and brands are borrowing heavily from racing culture. The second is more straightforward: a re-release of a 1990s Liverpool track jacket, the kind of item that sells itself to anyone who grew up watching the Premier League in its early years.

Two very different design references, then. One is looking forward at a trend; the other is looking back at a specific moment in the club's commercial history. Adidas running both simultaneously says something about how the brand is thinking about its football lifestyle range for 2027.

Worth knowing before you get too excited

All three leaks come solely from Footy Headlines, with no corroboration from other outlets. These are training and lifestyle pieces, not match kits, so they sit closer to the fashion end of the football world than the matchday end. Pre-release leaks also have a habit of arriving slightly different to what actually hits shelves. Treat the designs as an early signal, not a finished product.
