Long-Sleeve England 2026 Home Kit Debuted on Pitch

England took to the pitch against Croatia at Wembley in their UEFA Nations League clash, and kit enthusiasts were treated to a standout detail on display. Midfield star Jude Bellingham and his teammates stepped out wearing the authentic long-sleeve version of England's 2026 home kit, giving the full-sleeve design its official on-pitch debut. Thanks to @TheShirtUnion.

In modern football, genuine long-sleeve match jerseys have become an increasingly rare sight, with most manufacturers and players defaulting to standard short sleeves paired with base-layer compression tops. Nike delivered an authentic, tailored long-sleeve edition for the Three Lions built on their Aero-FIT template, extending the clean white base down to navy-and-red trimmed cuffs that seamlessly mirror the collar and side panel details.

The long sleeves bring a classic, refined aesthetic to England's 2026 home kit, evoking memories of traditional tournament looks from decades past. It provided a remarkably sharp visual on the Wembley pitch, offering kit connoisseurs a refreshing alternative to the usual layered compression undershirts.

PSG Announce Official Bentley Motors Partnership Deal

Paris Saint-Germain have officially announced a new multi-year partnership with British luxury carmaker Bentley Motors. The agreement sees Bentley join the French champions as an Official Partner in the luxury automotive category for the men's first team through 2028, spanning the 26-27 and 27-28 seasons.

The addition of Bentley complements rather than replaces PSG's existing automotive deal with BYD, which was signed earlier in 2026 to run through 2029. While BYD continues to serve as the club's primary automotive partner supplying operational fleet vehicles, Bentley's role will focus on bespoke luxury activations, high-end hospitality, and curated lifestyle content bridging Parisian fashion and British craftsmanship.

The launch was celebrated with a promotional campaign featuring former club captain Mamadou Sakho alongside first-team star Ousmane Dembélé posing with Bentley vehicles inside the Parc des Princes. The high-profile deal has also sparked nostalgic reactions among supporters, reflecting the club's commercial shift into the global luxury sphere compared to classic partnerships like Opel during the 1990s.

Special Inner Collar Detail Created for Harry Kane's Record-Breaking 126th England Cap

Harry Kane made English football history on Thursday evening at Wembley Stadium, earning his 126th cap in the UEFA Nations League clash against Croatia. By leading the Three Lions out onto the pitch, the England captain officially surpassed legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton's long-standing record of 125 appearances to become the most-capped men's player in the country's history.

To commemorate the historic milestone, England and Nike prepared an exclusive custom graphic inside the collar of Kane's match shirt. Positioned directly underneath his England legacy squad number 1207, the inner neckline features the words "HAPPY AND GLORIOUS" rendered in stylized red and navy lettering, placed directly above a prominent metallic gold inscription reading "126TH CAP".

This is not the first time England has marked an appearance milestone with bespoke kit detailing, having previously added custom inner neck text for Kane when he earned his 100th cap against Finland in 2024. The inner tribute was complemented by official pre-match ceremonies at Wembley, where Kane was presented with a commemorative cap and framed tributes to mark his record-breaking achievement.

South Shields FC and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season.

A large sublimated anchor graphic is integrated into the torso, accompanied by contrasting sky-blue detailing on the collar, sleeve cuffs, side panels, and Hummel chevrons across the shoulders. The look is finished with a monochrome sky-blue club crest and the club's nickname, "The Mariners", printed across the upper back of the neck.

Offered in the match-specification technical version, the new strip launched alongside the club's new online store, where supporters can pre-order the shirt in adult and youth sizes.

Aegean Airlines Gifts Greece Euro 2004 Remake Kit to Every Passenger on Flight to Lisbon

Passengers boarding Aegean Airlines flight A3720 from Athens to Lisbon were treated to an unexpected surprise, finding an official reissued adidas Greece Euro 2004 away jersey waiting on every passenger seat. The special stunt was organized as a joint activation between adidas, Aegean Airlines, and the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) to celebrate the federation's centenary and the official retail launch of the iconic remake.

The route from Athens to Lisbon carried obvious symbolic value, retracing the path to the Portuguese capital where Otto Rehhagel's side shocked the world to win the Euro 2004 final against the tournament hosts. In addition to the white and blue jerseys neatly laid out across the cabin seats, travelers on the flight were given special commemorative gifts featuring co-branded details from adidas, Aegean, and the federation.

The reissued shirt is a faithful reproduction of the away jersey worn during that historic triumph, replicating the baggy early-2000s cut, bold blue swooping shoulder panels, and retro federation badge. Officially launching on November 12, 2026, the kit is available through adidas and EPO official stores.

Éli Junior Kroupi Trains in Nike Hypervenom 'Transform Hydra' Remake for France Debut

AFC Bournemouth forward Éli Junior Kroupi turned heads during his first senior France training camp at Clairefontaine by sporting an iconic pair of Nike boots. Following his maiden call-up to Les Bleus to replace the injured Marcus Thuram, the 20-year-old took to the pitch in the limited-edition Nike Hypervenom Phantom 1 RGN Transform "Hydra". Thanks to @DegaineSo.

Released in 2025 as a modern nod to the 2015 Transform concept, the "Hydra" edition boasts a specialized water-activated upper. Under dry conditions, the boot displays a subtle pale grey surface, but once in contact with moisture or water on the pitch, it transforms to reveal a vivid blue honeycomb graphic underneath. The remake blends the beloved first-generation NikeSkin upper with the aggressive HyperReactive soleplate taken from the Hypervenom 3.

Kroupi's boot choice mirrors that of his international teammate Michael Olise, who has famously continued to wear vintage Hypervenom boots at both club and international levels. With Nike widely reported to be preparing a full relaunch of the Hypervenom line in 2027, seeing another rising French star champion the classic silo only adds to the excitement surrounding its return.
