Sydney FC 26-27 Third Kit Released - Dedicated to The Cove
A-League club Sydney FC and Under Armour have officially released their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Marking a historic first in the A-League as a jersey dedicated entirely to a club's active support group, the shirt pays tribute to The Cove and their more than 20 years of loyalty and noise in Bay 23 at Allianz Stadium.
The Under Armour Sydney FC 26-27 third jersey features a sleek black base covered in a bespoke tonal graphic across the front and sleeves. The all-over pattern incorporates supporter banners, tifos, and distinct Bay 23 imagery celebrating the terrace culture of The Cove. Contrasting sky blue detailing is applied to the simplified Sydney FC crest, Under Armour logo, and Macquarie University front sponsor, while "The Cove" is stamped inside the inner back collar.
Black shorts and socks complete the Under Armour Sydney FC 2026-27 third uniform, which joins the club's previously released home and away kits for the campaign.
Newcastle United Wear 26-27 Third Kit With Alternative Dark Purple Shorts
During their Carabao Cup clash against Everton, Newcastle United showcased an alternative look for their 26-27 Adidas third kit by pairing the light lilac jersey with dark purple shorts. Rather than using the default tone-on-tone lilac shorts, the Magpies swapped them for the darker alternative that matches the collar, shoulder stripes, and crest detailing, providing a sharper contrast on the pitch that was widely praised by kit fans.

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.
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.
