Germany 2017 Confederations Cup Kit Launch : Events : Soccer Bible

Having teased its release over recent days, adidas, the DFB and İlkay Gündoğan brought the party to Düsseldorf this weekend to unveil the 2017 Germany Confederations Cup shirt.

Taking its place as the new home uniform of World Cup winners Germany, the sleek 2017 design features a retro inspired graphic across the jersey, taking cues from the iconic 1990 away strip, while the adidas three stripes return from the sides of the jersey to the shoulders. The black round neck collar used for Germany's EURO 2016 home kit is replaced with a v-neck design, while familiar elements also include the World Cup winners badge across the centre of the chest and the four stars above the DFB crest.

Launched over the weekend with Manchester City midfielder İlkay Gündoğan taking centre stage wearing the adidas Purecontrol UltraBOOST Triple White, adidas and the DFB celebrated the launch of the jersey that will make its debut against Italy on November 15th before making its way to the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia next summer.

The 2017 Confederations Cup ― a prelude to the 2018 FIFA World Cup ― will be held in Russia with eight nations from six confederations competing in the tournament: Russia, Germany, Australia, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal and the winners of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The tournament will be the first Confederations Cup for Germany since 2005.
