Adidas has rolled out a dedicated 1990s-inspired EQT lifestyle collection for the Italian national team, via @luketaylorfc. Drawing from the iconic Equipment era's geometric color-blocking, the retro range includes a track top, matching track pants, an off-white t-shirt, and striped shorts. The pieces combine a deep navy base with prominent green, white, and red panels paying homage to the Italian flag, finished with a classic FIGC crest and vintage Adidas Trefoil branding as part of the brand's broader national team heritage lineup.

The Adidas Champions League 26-27 League Phase Ball made an early appearance during Arsenal's two most recent pre-season friendlies.

This could very well be the final Champions League League Phase ball produced by Adidas, as Nike is expected to take over as the official match ball supplier for UEFA men's club competitions starting from the 27-28 season.

Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for spotting this detail and creating the graphic.

River Plate and Adidas have officially launched the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. The new strip marks the return of the iconic tricolor look, celebrating the Argentine club's rich history and traditional aesthetic.

The Adidas River Plate 26-27 away shirt features classic vertical stripes combining red and white, separated by thin black pinstripes. Adding a distinct heritage touch, the jersey features the retro Adidas Trefoil logo in red on the right chest alongside the current club crest. The collar and cuffs are styled in crisp white, while black side panels complete the design.

White shorts with black stripes and matching socks complete the primary look of the new River Plate 26-27 away kit, while an alternative black shorts option is also available. The strip is already available for purchase through official club and Adidas channels.

Burnley have officially terminated their front-of-shirt partnership with prop trading company Finotive One just weeks after announcing the deal. UK automotive retailer Vertu Motors has stepped up to become the club's new Official Front of Shirt Principal Partner for the 26-27 season, covering the men's, women's, and academy teams.

The unexpected change comes right at the start of the Championship season, requiring an immediate update to all Castore matchday and replica kits. The updated kits now feature the Vertu wordmark alongside its shield icon across the center of the chest on all playing shirts.

To accommodate fans who already bought the 26-27 replica shirts with the previous sponsor printed on them, Burnley is offering free re-branding to overlay the new Vertu logo onto existing jerseys. Supporters also have the option to return their shirts for a full refund or exchange them for the updated version.

Manchester United and Adidas have released their new 26-27 third kit, featuring an ivory base with deep red accents and dark green trim inspired by the iconic doors of the Salford Lads and Girls Club.

Following the release, kit collector @TheShirtUnion noticed an interesting detail regarding the custom cup font on the back. In promotional photography featuring Lisandro Martínez, the player name is applied in a classic curved arch across the upper back. However, official product listings on the club's online shop depict player names in a straight horizontal arrangement.

Such variations between promotional photoshoot samples and official store graphics are not unusual for bespoke club cup namesets. While the standard online printing option appears to default to the straight layout, supporters may see the curved style applied during cup fixtures or through select retail printing services.

Official images of the Al Nassr 26-27 third kit have leaked online, revealing an elegant design crafted by Adidas. The new shirt features a clean off-white base paired with rich gold detailing throughout, giving the Saudi Pro League club a sophisticated look for the upcoming season. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.

The design is defined by subtle vertical stripes featuring intricate ornamental patterns running down the front and back of the shirt. Metallic gold trim highlights the collar, sleeve cuffs, and the iconic Adidas Three Stripes on the shoulders. The chest displays a monochromatic golden Al Nassr emblem alongside the gold Adidas logo, complemented by matching sponsor branding.

Completing the detailed look, a golden Saudi emblem featuring the palm tree and crossed swords sits on the upper back below the collar. Off-white shorts and socks with matching gold accents complete the full 26-27 third strip.

Greek Super League side Atromitos FC and kit manufacturer Capelli Sport have officially revealed the club's new home kit for the 26-27 season.

The Atromitos FC 26-27 home jersey offers a fresh take on the team's traditional white and blue colors. Featuring a white base, the front of the shirt is covered in slanted, diagonal blue graphic lines that form broken vertical stripes. Capelli's signature four-square logo motif appears on the shoulders in blue, alongside the club crest on the left chest and Novibet sponsorship across the middle.

The back of the jersey remains mostly solid white, accented by blue player numbering with a distinct lined font structure and lower-back sponsor branding.

Portuguese club SC Farense and kit supplier Lacatoni have officially launched the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Following the earlier reveal of their diagonal black-and-white home shirt, the new away uniform introduces a distinct green design rooted in the team's identity.

The Lacatoni SC Farense 26-27 away jersey features a rich dark green base accented with subtle white pinstripes running vertically down the front. Crisp black and white striping finishes the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, while the SC Farense crest is positioned on the left chest alongside Lacatoni's logo on the right.

Adding a tailored detail to the back, the shirt includes a large tonal lion graphic embedded into the fabric in reference to the club's Leões de Faro nickname. Main sponsor Barão Rodrigues is printed on the front, accompanied by secondary sponsor logos on the chest, sleeves, and back panel.

Update: As rightly spotted by many of our readers, the meme does not make sense really. BVB flipped it around to joke from Dortmund's perspective - the Kaizer Chiefs kits are actually a few years old, so if anyone copied it is BVB.

Borussia Dortmund's official Vietnamese media channel recently joined the kit community conversation by posting a lighthearted Mr. Bean exam-copying meme comparing their kit set to that of South African giants Kaizer Chiefs. The post highlights the uncanny design and color palette similarities between the two clubs' kit lineups for the 26-27 campaign.

The visual overlap spans right across both teams' collections. Both Dortmund and Kaizer Chiefs feature traditional yellow home shirts with dark detailing, a bold purple kit with vibrant yellow trimmings, and a sleek black design. The resemblance is further heightened by their main shirt sponsors: Dortmund sporting Vodafone and Kaizer Chiefs wearing Vodacom, which both display the identical red speech-mark logo on the chest.

While overlapping color schemes are common in modern football, the striking triple alignment across home, away, and alternative colors made the comparison impossible for fans and social media teams to ignore. The meme was met with good humor from South African media outlets and supporters alike, celebrating the unexpected connection between the Bundesliga side and the Amakhosi.

The Manchester United 26-27 third kit has been fully leaked ahead of its official launch. Made by Adidas, the new strip introduces a clean off-white base complemented by deep maroon trim and dark green accents across the shoulders.

A defining feature of the design is the centered alignment of the chest elements. The Adidas logo, an isolated Red Devil crest, and an icon-only Snapdragon sponsor logo are aligned vertically in maroon down the middle of the chest. The fabric also incorporates an all-over tonal Lancashire rose pattern, drawing inspiration from regional heritage.

Completing the kit, Manchester United will have two shorts options available, featuring either matching off-white shorts or contrasting dark green shorts. Off-white socks with dark green upper bands and maroon branding complete the full 26-27 third strip look.

Sunderland AFC and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new 26-27 third kit, drawing inspiration from the city's rich history of glassmaking. The new design boasts a deep blue base covered in a repeating tonal stained-glass graphic pattern, which incorporates the classic football emblem from Sunderland's iconic ship badge.

Elevating the shirt's look are metallic copper accents used for the retro Sunderland crest on the chest and the Hummel branding on the shoulders. The outer back neck area features the inscription "Glass Making Since The 7th Century" in matching copper text, paying homage to Monkwearmouth's historic St Peter's Church and the roots of local craftsmanship.

The Sunderland 26-27 third kit is accompanied by a broader capsule collection, including a matching varsity jacket and pre-match warm-up range, with official availability starting August 14, 2026.

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to club training with Al-Nassr ahead of the 26-27 season, spotted wearing Nike's latest Mercurial Superfly 11 boots in the fresh 'Break Em' colorway. The Portuguese star was seen putting the new speed boots through their paces following his post-tournament break.
