Stunning Nike City Kit Concepts by @rigamawe
Inspired by the eye-catching and unique NBA City jerseys revealed by Nike last month, football designer@rigamawe has created a selection of interesting football kits taking on the concept.
Barcelona
The Barcelona jersey is a homage to famed architect Antoni Gaudí.
PSG
For the PSG City jersey concept, Ricardo looked at the Louvre and its pyramid.
Manchester City
During the time of the industrial revolution, Manchester was known as a center for the cotton processing industry and even called 'Cottonopolis' by some.
Chelsea
The Chelsea concept pays homage to the British military, both for the fact that the Army Museum is located in the neighborhood of the club and that Chelsea were known as 'pensioners' back in the day.
Tottenham
This kit is inspired by the 'Tottenham Cake', which is a local specialty and was given away by the club after winning the FA Cup in 1901.
Atletico
The Atletico City kit concept takes inspiration from the flag of the community of Madrid, which shows seven stars in reference to the Ursa Major constellation.
Inter
The Inter uniform takes inspiration from 'Meneghino', a character associated with Milan that plays a major role in the local carnival celebrations, and his traditional clothing style.
Roma
Similar to the LA Lakers' Kobe-inspired snakeskin jersey, the Roma concept is black with a subtle X graphic on the front in reference to Francesco Totti, likely the club's most famous player.

Pink Takes Over the 2026 World Cup As Major Brands Release Similar Boot Packs
The 2026 World Cup is underway, and fans and commentators have quickly noticed a striking similarity in the footwear of the players. Across the pitch, pink has emerged as the dominant boot color. ESPN Brazil narrator @LARGOESPN recently highlighted this phenomenon on social media, pointing out the uniform pink cleats worn by numerous players during the opening matches of the tournament.
This trend is the result of all major sportswear giants launching pink-themed boot collections specifically for the 2026 World Cup. Adidas introduced the 'Road to Glory' pack, Nike unveiled the 'Breakout' collection, and Puma released the 'Showtime' pack. Even other brands like New Balance have adopted similar pink tones for their sponsored athletes. This widespread alignment on a single color has led to a noticeable loss of brand distinction on the pitch, with many observers noting the curious coincidence of all major brands opting for almost the exact same shade.
While the vibrant pink boots certainly stand out and offer a bright summer aesthetic, the uniformity has sparked discussion among fans. Some appreciate the bold look, while others miss the variety and clear brand identification that usually characterizes World Cup boot collections. As the 2026 World Cup progresses, this sea of pink cleats will undoubtedly remain a defining visual element of the tournament.
