Saint-Étienne 26-27 Third Kit Released
French club AS Saint-Étienne and technical partner Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. The new strip makes its on-pitch debut this weekend in Saint-Étienne's away fixture against FC Metz.
The Hummel AS Saint-Étienne 26-27 third shirt introduces a fresh "vert végétal" (vegetal green) base color accented by dark details across the collar, sponsor logos, and manufacturer branding. The body of the jersey features a subtle tonal zigzag pattern, taking direct inspiration from the iconic supporter scarves seen in the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard stands for more than 50 years. For the first time in the club's partnership with Hummel, this distinctive zigzag pattern also carries over onto the matching green shorts.
Alongside the outfield strip, an inverted colorway is introduced for the goalkeepers, pairing a dark base with light green detailing and graphics. Available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, the Saint-Étienne 26-27 third kit is on sale now through the club's official boutique.
Adidas Submit Big Offer to Take Over Santos Kit Deal
Adidas has submitted a formal, binding proposal to Santos FC to become the Brazilian club's new official kit supplier. The German brand is offering a six-year agreement that would see the Three Stripes return to the Vila Belmiro club for the first time since the 1980s. Santos had previously been in advanced renewal negotiations with long-term partner Umbro, but Adidas' aggressive move has drastically altered the club's plans. Huge thanks to Mantos do Futebol for the image.
The proposal tabled by Adidas is understood to be considerably more lucrative than Umbro's current contract, which pays a minimum annual guarantee of R$ 2.5 million in addition to equipment and royalties. A major cornerstone of the Adidas bid is global distribution, with the brand pledging to stock official Santos merchandise in roughly 120 flagship and concept stores worldwide across Brazil, Europe, the United States, and Asia. The project could also pave the way for international collaborations involving the Pelé brand.
Umbro has been notified of the proposal and holds a contractual window allowing them to match the terms. If the British manufacturer cannot meet the financial and distribution scope of the offer, Santos is widely expected to sign with Adidas. The partnership is projected to commence in 2028 following the expiration of Umbro's deal in December 2027, although an earlier start in 2027 has not been entirely ruled out if an early release agreement can be reached.
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.
