Adidas Skateboarding x Welcome Jersey White and Black

A Matchday Jersey for a Team That Doesn’t Exist

The football shirt left the stadium a long time ago to become an everyday piece, and this one takes it a step further: it looks like the official kit of an imaginary club. The Welcome name stretches across the chest where the sponsor would sit, the Adidas Trefoil plays the crest just above, and the curved black side panels recall early-2000s kits, the kind you now find in thrift stores. The real showpiece is on the back. Welcome, the Californian brand known for its dark, occult aesthetic, redraws the Trefoil its own way: leaves bristling with spikes, stripes sharpened like blades, outlines that echo the tribal tattoos of that era. Adidas’ most famous logo, run through a gothic filter.

The fit is regular, neither clingy nor oversized, with raglan sleeves that follow the shoulder naturally. A black stripe runs from the collar down to the end of each sleeve, while two sharply curved black panels trace the sides down to the hem. The crew neck is finished with a black ribbed trim. The fabric is a mesh knit dotted with small perforations, in 100% recycled polyester, soft to the touch. The logos are flat printed and the neck label is printed straight onto the fabric too, with no tag to scratch the back of your neck.

The perforated knit lets air flow and wicks sweat, keeping the jersey light even when it’s hot or the day drags on. The polyester dries in no time, doesn’t crease and keeps its colours sharp through plenty of washes, a real plus on a white base. In full summer, it works on its own. In between seasons, the classic combo does the job: a long-sleeve tee underneath, like players during warm-up.

FAQ

• What size for a looser look?
 The regular fit gives a classic jersey drape. For the roomier look you often see on football shirts worn in the city, size up.
• Is the mesh see-through?
 The knit is perforated but dense enough to stay opaque. For a clean look, just avoid wearing something very dark directly underneath.
