"A red base colour is a must for a Welsh jersey, and of course, is featured, with the official colour labelled Better Scarlet. Yeah, we've definitely never heard of it either. On the Better Scarlet base is where they get funky. Horizontal stripes in white, green and red (all the colours which feature on the Welsh flag) run through the middle of the kit, with a centralised badge sitting neatly in the middle below the Adidas logo."
"Green and white stripes also feature on the neck and sleeves, adding nice accents to the kit. Of course, the shoulders feature the iconic three adidas stripes. The last time a Wales kit featured any kind of stripe was 1996, where it ran vertically down the middle. That kit never graced a major tournament, but this new one may. The Dragons face a tricky route to the World Cup, potentially via the play-offs, but they need to qualify, because this kit can't not be used at a World Cup."
Adidas unveiled the Wales World Cup 2026 home kit featuring a Better Scarlet red base with bold horizontal white, green and red stripes across the chest. A centralised badge sits below the Adidas logo, and an embossing of the word 'Cymru' adds a national touch. Green and white accents appear on the neck and sleeves, while the shoulders display the signature three adidas stripes. Adidas became the official manufacturer in 2014 and has largely favoured conservative designs until now. The last Wales kit with stripes was in 1996, and Wales must qualify for the World Cup to wear this kit at the tournament.
