adidas Football has released the Italy 70s jersey, a retro kit that draws inspiration from the iconic designs worn by the Italian national team during the 1970, 1974, and 1978 FIFA World Cups, capturing the aesthetic of a transformative decade in international football.
The Italy 1970s adidas jersey features a royal blue colorway constructed from a 60% wool and 40% lyocell blend, utilizing vintage fabric and trims to authentically recreate the look and feel of 70s football apparel. The slim fit design provides a contemporary silhouette while maintaining period-appropriate styling elements. A classic crew neckline completes the traditional look, combining historical accuracy with modern comfort standards.
Design details include the adidas Trefoil logo, which represents the brand’s heritage from the era being commemorated. The choice of materials reflects adidas’ approach to balancing authenticity with wearability, as wool-blend fabrics were commonly used in football jerseys during the 1970s before the widespread adoption of synthetic performance materials.
The vintage fabric treatment aims to replicate the texture and appearance of jerseys from five decades ago, while the lyocell component adds durability and ease of care for contemporary users.
The 1970s represented a significant period for Italian football, with the Azzurri reaching the 1970 World Cup final in Mexico and participating in subsequent tournaments in West Germany and Argentina. This jersey collection references the visual identity of Italian football during that era, when design aesthetics differed considerably from modern technical sportswear.
