JEF United Unveil Akita Inu-Themed Kits for Stadium's 10th Anniversary
Sep 25, 2015, by Pat
Designed by Japanese fashion store and label ZOZOTOWN, which also sponsors the match in which they are to be used, the kits set to be worn by JEF United for their stadium's 10th anniversary are anything but ordinary.
JEF United 'Fukuda Denshi Arena 10th Anniversary' Special Kits
This is the JEF United's player jersey for the Legend Match to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the club's home stadium.
Featuring illustrations of club mascot Jeffy, a Akita dog, JEF United's Fukuda Denshi Arena 10th Anniversary Kit is mainly yellow, with a modern crew-neck collar. The 2nd team will wear a variation of the same design, boasting the same pictures on white ground.
Green shorts with a chevron design in red and yellow complement the striking look of the JEF United Stadium Anniversary Shirt.
For the goalkeeper jersey, ZOZOTOWN have opted for a realistic illustration of a Akita Inu, sending out strong 90s vibes along the way. The alternative goalkeeper kit is a desaturated version of the same design.
Fukuda Denshi Arena was opened in 2005 and holds just about 20,000 spectators. JEF United Ichihara Chiba, currently participating in the 2nd division of Japanese football, will play against Ehime FC on October 4 and hold a one-off 'JEF United Ichihara Chiba Legend Match', during which these stunning sets of kits will be used, on the same day.

Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 Boots Revealed - Reactive Nike Hydra Upper
Through its partner stores, Nike has officially revealed Erling Haaland's fifth signature edition, the Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 from his Force of Nature collection. Finished in a Baltic Blue colorway with cloud-inspired graphics across the rear, the low-cut boot introduces Nike's Hydra treatment, which uses reactive white ink that vanishes when wet to uncover additional details of the graphic beneath. Engineered for lethal finishing in the 26-27 season, the boot combines a Gripknit upper with a Cyclone 360 soleplate and is scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026. Huge thanks to Pro Direct and Unisportsore for images and the video.
Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
