Club Nacional Reveal Special 2026 "Celeste" Kit
The Club Nacional 2026 Celeste shirt is predominantly light blue and features an intricate jacquard fabric pattern integrated directly into the weave, showcasing the outlines of Uruguay's 19 departments. Navy blue detailing accents the V-neck collar, side panels, and sleeve cuffs, finished with fine white piping that subtly reflects the club's iconic tricolor palette.
On the upper back of the jersey, a custom rubberized badge displays the number 123 adorned in club colors alongside the word "Campeones". This number commemorates the 123 Nacional players who were part of Uruguay's major championship-winning squads throughout history, spanning four World Cups, the 1980 Mundialito, and 15 Copa América titles. An inner neck inscription reading "Nacional es Uruguay" completes the tribute.
Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
