Adidas unveils Marley-inspired Jamaica home and away kits
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Global sportswear brand adidas has launched its Bob Marley Collection, featuring the 2026 Jamaica home and away kits that blend football heritage with the legendary musician’s cultural influence.
Developed in close collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation, the collection reflects a deep respect for Marley’s legacy, incorporating archival photos and vintage clothing associated with him, such as the iconic lilac firebird track pants worn whilst touring Europe, reimagined for the collection.
Modelled by the Reggae Boyz, a prominent feature of the collection is a distinctive, repetitive wave pattern that flows across the designs, symbolically linking the rhythm of Marley’s music and the spirit of Jamaica, adidas explained.
A “Football is Freedom” mantra, crafted in partnership with The Bob Marley Foundation, is featured prominently on key pieces like the golden yellow jersey and full-zip jacket, integrating Marley’s deep love of the game and belief in its liberating power, it added.
Standout pieces in the collection include the “Football Freedom” jersey and the full-zip track jacket and matching trackpants. The collection also offers a dress, T-shirts, shorts, and accessories.
“Bob Marley’s legacy is full of so much inspiration — but to bring it to life through this collection, we worked through old photographs and clothing from his tour days with The Bob Marley Foundation. It was an incredible privilege, and ultimately, inspired us to build an apparel range that celebrate his music, love of football and the spirit of Jamaica,” General Manager at adidas, Sam Handy said.
“This is more than just a partnership to us, it’s a landmark moment which signifies unity, inspiration and the spirit of Bob Marley on the global stage. His unwavering belief in the power of our people lives on and through this collection, the fans can carry the pride of Jamaica,” Chief Executive Officer at The Bob Marley Foundation, Cedella Marley said.
