Football Manager 27 Features Much Better, 1024x1024 2D Minikits
Sports Interactive has heavily increased the quality of the kit previews.
Ultra-sharp 1024x1024 2D minikits are featured in Football Manager 27. The upgraded resolution represents a noticeable graphical jump over traditional low-resolution 2D assets, rendering intricate fabric textures, precise crest outlines, and sponsor details with remarkable clarity across squad and club overview screens.
While the 2D minikits look sharper than ever, the situation for in-match 3D kits is a bit more complicated. FM Kit Creator noted that FM26 3D kit textures are not fully compatible out of the box for FM 27. Although the textures remain at a 1024x1024 resolution, changes to the 3D player model and UV texture layout in the new match engine cause visual mismatches. Previews on the FM26 model show that while the shirt largely translates well, the shorts and socks exhibit distorted mapping.
Work is already underway to adapt templates and mapping systems so creators can export fully compatible graphics for the new game.
Once the adjustments are completed, the online tool and its bulk generation features will give managers seamless access to both the pristine 1024x1024 2D minikits and tailored 3D kits for their custom saves.
AC Milan and Inter Unveil New San Siro Replacement: Generali Stadium
AC Milan and Inter have officially revealed the design for their new shared home, which will replace the legendary Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Officially named the Generali Stadium following a major naming rights agreement with the Italian insurer, the venue was presented at Milan's Castello Sforzesco. Designed collaboratively by Foster + Partners and Manica Architecture, the state-of-the-art arena will feature a capacity of 71,500 seats, including more than 13,000 premium and hospitality spaces.
The stadium adopts an oval bowl elevated on a public podium, defined by an undulating facade that rises over 60 meters at the end curves. The exterior is wrapped in 80 diamond-shaped LED membrane panels, allowing the structure to illuminate dynamically in the distinct colors of AC Milan or Inter depending on the host club. Inside, the design prioritizes atmosphere with a tight two-tier layout featuring steep 37-degree stands behind the goals to bring spectators as close to the pitch as possible. An acoustically sealed canopy will trap and amplify crowd noise, while 27,000 square meters of photovoltaic panels on the roof will provide energy self-sufficiency.
Representing a total district redevelopment investment of approximately €2.3 billion, construction work is slated to begin in 2027 with a targeted opening in time for the 31-32 campaign, positioning the arena as a prime venue for Euro 2032 where it will be known as Milano Stadium. The existing San Siro will continue to stage matches during construction, after which it will be largely demolished, leaving select architectural sections preserved as a monument within a new community park.
Querétaro Announce Bimbo as New Main Shirt Sponsor
Liga MX side Querétaro have officially announced Mexican baking giant Bimbo as their new main partner. The partnership will see the iconic Mexican brand take pride of place on the front of the Gallos Blancos' home and away kits across all competitive categories.
The arrival of Bimbo sees the brand's classic logo replace the central "Querétaro" wordmark that had previously occupied the chest of the club's 26-27 Skechers kits. Club officials noted that securing Bimbo represents a significant step forward in their project, adding a world-renowned domestic corporate partner to support the team's ongoing development.
Querétaro had unveiled their 26-27 Skechers kits earlier in the summer without a primary commercial sponsor. With Bimbo taking over the chest, Gallos Blancos follow in the footsteps of several traditional Mexican clubs to carry the famous logo, giving their shirts a familiar and classic Liga MX aesthetic.
