On Pitch: Barcelona 16-17 Third Kit
Having become one of the last teams to unveil a kit for the already up-and-running 2016-17 season, FC Barcelona will debut its bold new Nike third kit in today's Champions League encounter against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Barcelona 16-17 Third Kit - On-Pitch Debut
Here are some pictures of the Barcelona 2016-2017 third strip from the match.
Defined by a gradient between two shades of teal, Barcelona's 16-17 third kit features thin stripes on both sides of the shirt and shorts, while the Qatar Airways logo - which interestingly was nowhere to be seen on the Youth League kit - is purple. Rounding things off is the 'volt' player names and numbers typeface, based on the same style as on the home and away uniforms.
Happy with how the Barcelona third kit is shaping up to look on the field? Drop us a line below.
Union Berlin 26-27 Home Kit to Be Released June 8
German newspaper BILD has confirmed our leak of the Adidas 1. FC Union Berlin home kit for the 2026-27 season. The design shifts from the prior red and white striped look to a predominantly red shirt with white accents on the collar and shoulders. An embossed geometric pattern across the front and sleeves directly references the steel roof structure of Stadion An der Alten Försterei as a tribute to the club's historic ground. Sponsors Adidas, Raisin and Kermi remain unchanged from the previous season.
The kit will be officially unveiled on June 8, an earlier date chosen to avoid the FIFA World Cup window running from June 11 to July 19.

Arsenal Sends Kit Without Adidas Logo & Arsenal Crest

LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
