De Rossi to Leave Adidas? AS Roma Legend Trains in Blackout Boots
Is Daniele De Rossi set to the leave the Three Stripes ahead of Roma's Champions League clash against Barcelona? The 32-year old AS Roma midfielder laced up in unbranded Adidas Ace Football Boots in yesterday's training session.
In fact, Daniele De Rossi was one of the first players who trained in the Adidas Ace 15.1 Leather Boots ahead of the official launch in May 2015 when he laced up in a blackout prototype version of the boots in March 2015. It now looks like that AS Roma's legend and the 3 Stripes could go separate ways.

Designed to hide any brandings, the blackout Adidas Daniele De Rossi 2015-2016 Ace Boots feature a stealth look. There are always two reasons why a player trains in blackout boots.
First option: Daniele de Rossi is testing a modified version of his regular boots as he is facing problems with his current boots. But it looks like that De Rossi is wearing a non-modified version of the Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Boots, even though his right shoe looks slightly different than the normal version.
Second option: Daniele De Rossi's contract with Adidas has expired. It's intended to give the German brand no attention, and to demonstrate that he is a free agent and ready to sign new contract. If he debuts the blackout boots in an official match, it's extremely likely that his contract expired.
We'll have to wait for today's Serie A match between AS Roma and Frosinone to see if Daniele De Rossi leaves the 3 Stripes or stays faithful with the iconic German brand.
Meanwhile, Edin Dzeko laced up in the old Adidas F50 Adizero Boots, while Francesco Totti wore a modified Nike Tiempo Legend V Boot featuring his trademark fold-over tongue.
One thing is certain. Daniele De Rossi will stand out if he debuts the blackout boots. So watch out for Daniele De Rossi's Cleats in today's match and AS Roma's Champions League clash against Barcelona next week.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
