Match-Worn Harry Kane Bayern Munich Kit Cut Up for Rare Topps Cards
Trading card manufacturer Topps has revealed a set of four ultra-rare trading cards created by cutting up a match-worn Harry Kane Bayern Munich jersey. Released as part of the 2025-26 Topps Museum Collection UEFA Club Competitions series, the cards take the striker's match-worn nameplate and divide it into four individual one-of-one collectibles.
Each card in the Museum Nameplate Relics subset houses a single letter from Kane's surname: "K", "A", "N", and "E". Embedded in a dedicated display window alongside a photo of Kane in Bayern colors, the fabric swatches highlight the cream-colored knit and deep red lettering from a Bayern kit, marked with official "Match-Worn Memorabilia" certification and UEFA Champions League branding.
While relic cards featuring match-worn gear have been popular in the hobby for years, deconstructing entire match-worn shirts to create cards regularly divides opinions among kit collectors who would rather see historic shirts preserved intact.
For high-end card enthusiasts, however, piecing together all four separate 1/1 cards to rebuild the complete nameplate is set to be one of the rarest pursuits in the collection.
FC Augsburg 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
FC Augsburg debuted their new 26-27 third kit on the pitch during their Bundesliga away match against Werder Bremen. Officially unveiled just days prior by the club and Japanese sportswear brand Mizuno under the name "No. 03 / Unser Drittes", the strip served as the final regular kit release across the entire Bundesliga for the season.
On the pitch, Augsburg completed the look with maroon shorts and matching socks for a streamlined appearance. Subtle detailing finishes off the jersey, including the club's founding year 1907 applied inside the neck and classic FC Augsburg lettering across the upper back.
AJ Auxerre 26-27 Third Kit Released
French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre and technical partner Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. The new release completes Auxerre's set of match wear for the campaign, following the earlier launches of their retro-inspired home kit and black away strip.
The Macron Auxerre 2026-27 third jersey is predominantly blue and centers around a broad vertical navy stripe running down the middle, framed by two thin white boundary lines. In a centrally aligned setup, both the white Macron Hero and the AJ Auxerre crest are applied in silicone on the navy chest panel. A navy crew neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs feature contrasting white tipping, while "AJ AUXERRE" is embroidered in white on the upper back neck.
Matching blue shorts featuring navy and white edge striping and blue socks with a navy band topped by white trim round off the look.
Special FC Metz Robert Pirès 26-27 Testimonial Kit Released
French club FC Metz and kit supplier Kappa have officially unveiled a limited-edition collector's shirt to celebrate the testimonial match of club icon Robert Pirès, set to take place on October 6, 2026, at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.
The special jersey pays homage to Metz's memorable 1996 kit, the season Les Grenats lifted the Coupe de la Ligue with Pirès playing a central role. Reinterpreting the distinct graphic side motif of that era, the shirt features a rich garnet base paired with an intricate geometric graphic panel running down the side, an elegant white polo collar, and a centrally placed Kappa Omini logo alongside the club's traditional Lorraine cross crest. The back showcases Pirès' famous name and number 7 in a retro font, completed by a commemorative jocktag patch at the hem.
The limited-edition jersey is available for pre-order in strictly limited numbers via Metz's online store. It will be donned on pitch during the testimonial event, which brings together legends from Metz, Arsenal, and the France national team to celebrate the career of the 1998 World Cup winner where his professional journey first began.
Brighton Become First Team to Wear Anniversary Kit in the Premier League in 18 Years
In their recent 3-0 victory over Arsenal, Brighton debuted a special 125th-anniversary kit, making them the first team since Manchester United in 2008 (who marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster) to wear a commemorative jersey in the Premier League.
Clause 13, Section M of the Premier League regulations strictly limits clubs to three registered kits per season, making special exemptions exceptionally rare.
Other kit exemptions over the years have been few and far between: Man City wore a one-off gold sponsor detail on the final day to celebrate their title triumph in the last match of the 20-21 season, while Newcastle had to turn a pre-match tee into an official match kit to fix an emergency kit clash against Brighton in 22-23.

To Never Be Worn: TSV 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest Kit Released
The new TSV 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest kit has been officially released by Joma through the club's merchandising company. However, mirroring the previously revealed 26-27 home shirt, this special Wiesn design will never be worn in an official match. Following the insolvency of the club's professional division and forced relegation to the Regionalliga Bayern, 1860 München severed ties with Joma and partnered with local Munich supplier Societas for their on-pitch kits.
The Joma 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey presents a classic Bavarian aesthetic based on a clean white shirt. Running vertically down the left side beneath the crest is a light blue and white Bavarian rhombus pattern, framed on both sides by delicate floral vine graphics reminiscent of traditional Trachten embroidery. A dark navy V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look, while the inside neck is detailed with Munich's famous "O'zapft is" festival motto. The front displays the traditional embroidered black lion badge with a championship star, accompanied by dark branding from Joma and primary sponsor die Bayerische.

Brighton to Debut Special Nike 125th Anniversary Kit Against Arsenal
Brighton & Hove Albion are debuting a special limited-edition Nike 125th anniversary kit today in their Premier League encounter against Arsenal at the Amex Stadium. The match was selected to mark 125 years since the club's formation, being the closest home fixture to the anniversary of Albion's first-ever competitive match on September 21, 1901.
Crafted by Nike, the commemorative 26-27 shirt takes direct inspiration from the club's earliest kits from the 1901-02 season. Built around a clean mountain-blue base, the design leans heavily into an understated retro aesthetic. It features a classic polo collar, tonal blue branding for both the Nike Swoosh and the American Express front sponsor, and a matching tonal crest underlined with a '125 YEARS' ribbon. An internal collar graphic completes the look with the words 'We are Brighton 1901-2026'.
Initially launched in May 2026 alongside a limited run of 1,901 collector box sets, this unique kit is being worn as a strictly one-off tribute on the pitch.

Barcelona to Feature Tyler, The Creator and GOLF for Next El Clásico
FC Barcelona and Spotify are set to continue their iconic El Clásico tradition with another massive cultural crossover. American rapper, producer, and fashion designer Tyler, The Creator has emerged as the frontrunner to take over the front of the Blaugrana jersey for the upcoming clash against Real Madrid scheduled for October 25, 2026. Negotiations between all parties are reportedly at an advanced stage, with only final details left to be ironed out before an official announcement.
Rather than showcasing standard artist branding or a direct album motif, the special-edition shirt is expected to display the word "GOLF", representing Tyler's renowned streetwear label GOLF WANG. Known for his eclectic aesthetic, distinct visual identity, and influential style, the multifaceted artist brings immense cultural clout across music, fashion, and streetwear, aligning directly with Spotify and Barcelona's ongoing push into global pop culture.
If finalized, Tyler, The Creator will become the latest star to grace Barcelona's shirt during Spain's biggest fixture. The club's landmark deal with Spotify has previously featured matchday jersey takeovers from Drake, Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, Karol G, Coldplay, Travis Scott, Ed Sheeran, and Olivia Rodrigo
As with past editions, a limited-edition retail release is expected alongside the on-pitch debut.
Kylian Mbappé Trains in On Prototype Boots - Debut vs Against Atlético Madrid?
Following the bombshell announcement of Kylian Mbappé ending his two-decade association with Nike to join Swiss performance brand On as a flagship athlete and equity partner, speculation has surged regarding when the Real Madrid star will officially showcase the boots on pitch. On recently revealed its clean white prototype cleats engineered with proprietary, seamless LightSpray technology and developed alongside newly appointed Director of Football Thierry Henry.
While Mbappé tested the whiteout prototypes in training ahead of the 26-27 Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid, an official debut this weekend remains unconfirmed as the Frenchman transitions from his signature Nike Mercurials. On-pitch prototype appearances are expected in the coming weeks ahead of a full retail rollout in 2027.
Kylian Mbappé Debuts All-New On Football Boots in EA FC 27
Kylian Mbappé has sent shockwaves through the boot world following his official departure from Nike to join Swiss brand On. Marking the historic switch, the Real Madrid superstar has already been revealed wearing his all-new On football boots in promotional footage and gameplay for EA Sports FC 27.
Serving as the cover star for the game, Mbappé gives fans an early preview of On's ambitious entry into football footwear. The in-game renders show off a clean, predominantly white prototype cleat featuring the Swiss brand's signature logo boldly displayed across the upper. The boots are built around On's proprietary LightSpray technology, a seamless and ultra-lightweight manufacturing process developed in tandem with Mbappé and the brand's newly appointed Director of Football, Thierry Henry.
While the commercial retail release of On's debut football boot collection is slated for 2027, the boots will be featured directly in EA Sports FC 27 around launch. On the pitch, the French forward is expected to give the boots their live competitive debut for Real Madrid in the coming weeks of the 26-27 campaign.
Swiss Brand "On" Prepares Official Entry Into Football Boot Market
Swiss sportswear company On is taking its first official steps into football. Renowned globally for its high-performance running footwear and rapid expansion across tennis and athletics, the brand has begun teasing its venture into the world's most popular sport with dedicated football channels. This move follows reports earlier in 2026 indicating that On is preparing to challenge established giants like Nike, Adidas, and Puma by bringing its innovative production methods, including its robotic LightSpray upper technology, to football cleats.
The groundwork for On's football expansion has been developing behind the scenes for several months. The brand initially signaled its interest by partnering with young Swiss international Sydney Schertenleib to co-develop training and lifestyle products. As the Swiss company readies its debut boot models, speculation regarding marquee athlete endorsements has also accelerated, fueled by persistent industry rumors linking top-tier players to potential landmark deals with emerging market disruptors.
Early concepts and design previews indicate that On will translate its clean, technical aesthetic and seamless upper constructions directly onto the pitch. While technical specifications, launch timelines, and the official player roster for the upcoming 26-27 period remain tightly guarded, On's arrival represents one of the most fascinating shifts in the modern football footwear landscape.

The new TSV 1860 München 26-27 Oktoberfest kit has been officially released by Joma through the club's merchandising company. However, mirroring the previously revealed 26-27 home shirt, this special Wiesn design will never be worn in an official match.
