Germany 1998 Home Kit XL (BNWT) (Deadstock)

The Tricolor Horizon

This kit is a cornerstone of European football fashion, representing the bold, experimental design language of the late 90s. While the tournament itself was a period of transition for the DFB, this jersey remains one of the most aesthetically celebrated designs in the nation's history, famously worn by legends like Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann.

As Germany entered the 1998 World Cup in France, they did so in a kit that broke from the traditional monochrome. This home shirt by Adidas is a masterclass in detail, featuring the iconic horizontal chest bands that integrated the German flag’s colors directly into the fabric—a design choice that has since become a benchmark for retro collectors.

Team: Germany National Team (DFB)

Condition: BNWT (Brand New With Tags)

Antiquity: 28 years

Manufacturer: Adidas

Size: XL

Design: A crisp white base dominated by three horizontal stripes across the chest in black, red, and gold. The jersey features a sophisticated ribbed V-neck collar with flag-colored tipping and a subtle embossed DFB pattern throughout the fabric. The "Equipment" style Adidas logo and the three-star crest are centrally aligned, providing a symmetrical, powerful look.

Significance: This was the final World Cup kit for the legendary 1990 championship core. It represents the end of an era before the German "reboot" of the early 2000s. Finding this specific piece with the original tags still attached is an absolute rarity, as the delicate flag-band print often suffered from wear and washing in pre-owned versions.
