The new Adidas Adizero Kit technology in detail
The new Adidas 2014 Authentic World Cup Kits feature the new Adizero technology developed by Adidas, instead of the previous Formotion technology used for the player issue jerseys. Previously the name Adizero was known especially for the Adidas Adizero F50 Boots, which are characterized by lightweight as one of the lightest football boot on the market with a weight of 150g. But what is the new Adizero kit technology?
The new Adidas Adizero Authentic Kits are much lighter than any previous kits produced by Adidas. Back in May 2013 Adidas showed The Future Of Football at First 'Adidas lab' presenting a special produced light kit set as well as a 99g boot, which could be released in mid-2014 as special limited edition.
Adidas Adizero Kit technology
According to Adidas, the new Adidas Adizero Kit just weights 100g, 40% lighter than the previous Euro 2012 jerseys. They are the lightest kit ever produced by Adidas and will be used by the professionals at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
To achieve the lightweight, Adidas has changed every detail of the new Adizero Kit to make them as light as possible. Weight has been removed from the main kit, the collar and the sleeve cuffs with lighter materials used. The complete jersey features a new woven lightweight fabric. The crest and the Adidas Performace logo are just heated on the kit, instead of a woven crest of the normal version.
The new Adizero Kit technology provides additional ventilation, helping players to keep dry during 90 minutes. It's designed to feel like a second skin to provide the maximum freedom of movement and features a slim fit.
The new Adizero 2014 Kit is avialable to purchase to purchase for 250 US Dollar. The Adidas Adizero Kit comes with the shirt, the shorts and the socks boxed in a special presentation case.

Arsenal Switches to Home Kit for Title Celebrations
After securing the Premier League title while playing in their Trefoil-adorned third kit, the Arsenal squad made a deliberate wardrobe change into their traditional 25-26 red and white home kit to actually lift the trophy.
This evokes memories of FC Barcelona, who famously wore orange but switched to their home shirt for the title lifting. In contrast to Arsenal, Barcelona just switched the shirt and kept the orange shorts and socks.
Do you like teams switching into their primary colors after the final whistle to ensure historic celebrations are captured in their iconic home kits?

Atalanta, Marseille & Wolfsburg Change Logos for 26-27 Season
Vietnamese kit freaks Chuyện Áo Đấu have created a nice infographic of three European teams' logo changes for the 26-27 season. All of them have one thing in common - they are circular.
The underlying reasoning for this widespread circular design trend across modern football is primarily driven by digital functionality and commercial scalability. Circular, stripped-down logos provide a sense of visual balance and are significantly easier to apply across various media, ranging from tiny social media avatars to global lifestyle merchandise.
However, this rush toward extreme minimalism is increasingly alienating traditional football supporters and risking a severe homogenization of the sport's visual landscape.
For Wolfsburg, the change was praised by fans, as the Zinnen crest has been the fans' favorite design ever since. For Atalanta, it was also rooted in history, while OM was the biggest update.
