There is a confusing detail regarding the Adidas stripes on the Club America's new 26-27 shorts. Huge thanks to @g4ryw4lker and @burnssportswear for spotting this first.
The authentic version of the shorts features an inconsistent mix of both wide and thin Adidas stripes down the sides. In contrast, the replica stadium version comes with all-wide stripes, which correctly matches the all-wide stripe design seen on the corresponding shirt.
The inconsistencies become even more complicated upon further inspection. An additional image reveals yet another shorts variant featuring an all-thin stripe treatment. This wide array of different stripe configurations across the authentic, stadium, and other variants strongly suggests that Adidas has produced mixed production samples or made a manufacturing error, leaving supporters wondering which version is the official intended design.
