F.C. Copenhagen Women, adidas and Amanda Lydert Reimagine the Club Jersey
Together, they redefine the club’s kit as a statement piece – personal, poetic and unrepeatable.
In a collaboration that bridges football, art and community, F.C. Copenhagen’s Women partnered with adidas and Copenhagen-based artist Amanda Lydert to create a set of entirely unique, one-off football jerseys. Each piece is individually crafted — no duplicates and no commercial release, just one shirt per design, made to reflect something deeper than team colours.
Photographer Josefine Seifert documented the team’s first experience wearing the shirts at Vanløse Idrætspark, the club’s home ground. They trained in them too, bringing the designs to life in motion rather than leaving them in the static world of display.
To mark the collaboration, adidas hosted a two-day exhibition at iiioriginalstudio, the brand’s creative space in the city’s meatpacking district. The event opened up a conversation about what it means to represent a city, and how a football club can reflect and respond to the people around it.
As for the shirts themselves — each starts with the club’s traditional home jersey, with a second stitched-on layer of pale blue fabric running across the back of each one and printed with lines from a poem by Lydert. The text is a tribute to the strength, character and resilience of the women who wear the CPH badge and adds a quieter, more introspective layer to the garment.
The adidas branding also gets a symbolic twist, with the classic trefoil reworked into three claw marks, referencing the team’s “Lionesses” nickname. Each mark was drawn, cut and applied by hand, with no two identical.
