The Disappearance of Football Snoods
Snoods were once a familiar sight in winter football, worn by players such as Francesco Totti, Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Samir Nasri, among others, to keep warm during matches.
However, opponents could grab them during play, posing a potential risk of neck injuries. For safety reasons, IFAB banned snoods from matches in March 2011.
The ban does not apply to training, warm-ups or the bench, so snoods have not disappeared from football entirely.

Special Adidas Predator Precision EQT Remake Boots Released - Celebrating 25 Years of Fútbol Emotion
Capelli Viborg FF 2026 Legend Kit Released
Danish Superliga side Viborg FF and technical partner Capelli Sport have officially unveiled a special 2026 Legend kit honoring club icon Hans Ove Andersen. Andersen spent thirteen years at the club between 1966 and 1979, making 305 appearances in green and white. The club will celebrate his legacy during an upcoming home league clash against rivals Randers FC.
Drawing direct inspiration from Viborg's 1978-79 kit design, the shirt features a rich green base paired with contrasting white raglan sleeves and a matching round collar. Rather than modern commercial sponsors, the front carries a bold vintage "VIBORG F.F." text across the chest alongside a historic circular crest. Capelli's trademark square insignia runs down the shoulders, while a retro block number sits on the reverse. An embroidered patch near the lower hem commemorates Andersen's career milestones, reading "Hans Ove Andersen / 305 kampe / 1966 - 1979".
Paired with matching white shorts and socks, the limited-edition Capelli Viborg FF 2026 Legend jersey is available immediately via the club's official retail store, Kløvershoppen, priced at 699 DKK for adults.
Special Stotfold FC 2026 Remembrance Kits Released
Southern League Division One Central club Stotfold FC have officially unveiled a special-edition Remembrance kit for 2026, produced in collaboration with kit supplier Teamex Sportswear. Created to commemorate Remembrance Day and honor those affected by war past and present, the design also directly supports the Royal British Legion and specifically its local Stotfold and Arlesey branch.
The outfield kit marks a notable milestone for the club as their first-ever dark kit worn in the Southern League. It arrives in a stealthy grey and black colorway blanketed by a bespoke, hand-drawn all-over poppy illustration. The shirt is accented with yellow-gold detailing on the collar, cuffs, and crest, while "The Eleventh of the Eleventh" is printed inside the collar alongside a red remembrance poppy on the sleeve. A striking goalkeeper kit accompanies the release, reversing the palette with a vibrant red base covered in the same detailed poppy graphic.
The kit made its on-pitch debut at the JSJ Stadium on November 10 ahead of kickoff against Potters Bar Town, preceded by a minute of silence observed by both clubs and supporters.
Robey Sardarapat FC 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Armenian club Sardarapat FC and Dutch sportswear brand Robey have officially unveiled the team's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Celebrating their promotion to the Armenian top flight after winning the second tier in their debut professional campaign, the Armavir-based side—which counts French forward Antoine Griezmann among its shareholders—presents a bespoke set of shirts fusing local identity with classic retro aesthetics.
The Sardarapat FC 26-27 home shirt arrives in a rich "tuf" red tone, paying homage to the iconic volcanic tuff stone widely used across Armenian architecture. The jersey is finished with a two-tone collar and subtle tonal patterning inspired by the architecture of the Sardarapat Memorial. The away shirt adopts a clean off-white and beige base decorated with refined red pinstripes, an old-school polo collar, and typography inspired by France's 1998 World Cup kit.
Both kits are offered in short-sleeve as well as long-sleeve cuts, with the long sleeves serving as a deliberate nod to Griezmann's signature look. Signature Robey golden clovers appear on the shoulders, while the reverse side features the Armenian tricolor and the club's motto "Born in Victory" on the upper back, commemorating the 1918 Battle of Sardarapat.
