Following the recent releases of these shirts, observant fans on social media were quick to notice the identical patterns used across the three seemingly unrelated teams.<\/p>\n<p>Yokohama, San Marino and K\u00f6ln Jerseys<\/p>\n<p>The shared template features a highly distinctive diagonal brushstroke graphic pattern that swirls across the front torso. While the color palettes have been adjusted to fit the respective visual identities of the German, Japanese, and Sammarinese teams, the underlying graphic, stripe placement, and overall construction of the shirts remain completely unchanged. In the case of 1. FC K\u00f6ln, this pattern is presented in vibrant red and white over a navy base color.<\/p>\n<p>See the widely used pattern below<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.footyheadlines.com\/static\/img\/post\/2026\/07\/16\/6ev6xjPwNTFsE4q\/adidas-uses-identical-locker-room-template-for-koln-yokohama-f-marinos-and-san-marino-26-27-kits.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"\/static\/img\/post\/2026\/07\/16\/6ev6xjPwNTFsE4q\/adidas-uses-identical-locker-room-template-for-koln-yokohama-f-marinos-and-san-marino-26-27-kits.jpg?s=800\" alt=\"\" data-width=\"1254\" data-height=\"1254\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This standardization is a direct result of the teams utilizing the Adidas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footyheadlines.com\/category\/Locker%20Room\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Locker Room<\/a> customization service. Rather than receiving fully bespoke, original designs, these sides have been provided with existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footyheadlines.com\/category\/Templates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">templates<\/a> from the brand&#8217;s teamwear catalog. This approach allows Adidas to efficiently produce customized color combinations for standard patterns, a practice frequently seen with third <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footyheadlines.com\/category\/Kits\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">kits<\/a> or teams outside the brand&#8217;s elite tier.<\/p>\n<p>For San Marino, the use of this shared template marks a significant shift in their kit production. Earlier in the year, Adidas took over the UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme, replacing the previous supplier, Erre\u00e0. While the Italian brand was known for creating bespoke looks reflecting the history of each nation, the transition to Adidas means that teams like San Marino are now outfitted via the Locker Room service, resulting in shared designs with club teams around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery of the matching templates has prompted discussions among football kit enthusiasts online. Multiple side-by-side comparisons of the jerseys confirm that the base is a reused catalog asset rather than a unique creation for any of the sides. While the Locker Room service provides a striking visual for the pitch, the lack of exclusivity highlights the reality of modern kit manufacturing for non-elite teams.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the use of streamlined Locker Room Templates?
