Ahead of Chinese New Year, which kicks off on 1 February, adidas drops its now customary CNY collection, giving all its premium European teams a lifestyle makeover for the 2022 celebrations.
This Chinese New Year is the Year of the Tiger, so expect puns aplenty about roaring on your team... not really, we’re not stooping to that level. But it would be easy to do so with the latest CNY collection from adidas, which once again sees the Three Stripes rolling out universal apparel for its five premium European teams in Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
It's become an annual move for adidas to release a collection celebrating the Chinese New Year, but where previous collections have placed the animal of the respective year at the centre of the designs, this year the Tiger seems to be somewhat overlooked.
The 2022 collection sees bomber jackets arriving as the key piece, with unique club branding on the front joined by a stylised adidas Performance logo on the back. That stylised look borrows its eye-catching design from the intricate patterns displayed on ceramic tiles. The jacket is joined sweatshirts, tees, and track pants, all with the individual club branding.
