Leaked: Nike 15-16 Champions League Kits Are The Basis of Euro 2016 Kits
Sep 30, 2015, by Chris
No more cotton-like materials. No more Polo collars. The new Nike Euro 2016 Kits will feature modern designs to demonstrate that Nike produces cutting-edge products for ultimate performance.
While previous Nike Kits featured different kinds of collars, or boasted a vintage-looking material to pay homage to a classic shirt, the new Nike Euro 2016 Jerseys will be anything but old-fashioned.
Nike Euro 2016 Jerseys To Demonstrate That Nike Produces the Best Performance Products

When Nike launched the new Nike Paris Saint-Germain 2015-16 Dark Light Kit, it wasn't the understated black and grey design that really mattered. It was the totally new construction of the shirt that was the most important part of the shirt.
The new Nike Barcelona, Galatasaray, Inter, Manchester City, PSG and Roma 2015-16 Night Rising Jerseys feature modern design after last season's Nike Third Kits boasted classic Polo collars. It's Nike's aim to showcase that they produce the most innovative kits for ultimate performance in all conditions.
Most remarkably, the Nike 2015-16 Champions League Shirts comes with a brand-new mesh panel on the front, which is designed to keep heat away from the body. Additionally, the new Nike template has almost endless small holes in the material for ultimate temperature regulation.
Similar to previous Nike Authentic Shirts, the new Nike Euro 2016 Kits will feature the remarkable laser cut holes on the shoulder area and on the back under the neckline. But those oversized holes are rather designed to stand out than to offer a significant influence on the performance of the shirt.
Like previous shirts, the new Nike Euro 2016 Kits will be made from at least 18 recycled plastic bottles. In total, 96 % of the kit are made from recycled materials to reduce the impact on the environment to a minimum. The US-giant has diverted more than two billion plastic bottles from landfills into recycled polyester to demonstrate that the Swoosh combines innovations with sustainability.
But most importantly, the Nike 15-16 Champions League and Euro 2016 Kits introduce a totally new cut for football kits. Made for ultimate performance with no distractions, the new cut of the jerseys is even better matched to the body of the athletes compared to previous shirts, developed using the latest body scan technologies.
So what does that mean for the Nike Euro 2016 Kits? While previous Nike Shirts featured a large variety of different collars and material-effects, the new Nike Euro 2016 Jerseys will boast modern designs with simplistic collars to maximize comfort and great fit. It's extremely unlikely that there will be any home shirt with a classic Polo collar.
The France 2014 World Cup Home Kit serves as a perfect example. Featuring a "classic, hand-crafted kind of style", the France World Cup Shirts introduced a classic Polo collar and a denim-looking material. It is inspired by the story of Nîmes, the birthplace of modern denim. In contrast, the Nike France Euro 2016 Home Kit will by anything but inspired by the past. France's new Euro 2016 Kit returns to a modern shade of blue and a modern collar.
But now we have to wait for the first leaked pictures of the new Nike Euro 2016 Kits for a final confirmation. It's more than likely that France as the host of the Euro 2016 will receive their new kit as first Nike national team in November 2015. In the meantime, check out all leaked Nike Euro 2016 Kit colors and info in our Euro 2016 Kits Overview.
There will be less variation than before. What do you think of Nike's Euro 2016 Kits Strategy? Let us know in the comments below.
No More Adidas: Macron Aberdeen 26-27 Third Kit Released
Aberdeen FC and Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the Dons' wardrobe for the campaign alongside the red home and white away strips, the design takes direct inspiration from Aberdeenshire's iconic Craigievar Castle as the world-famous pink fortress marks its 400th anniversary.
The Aberdeen 26-27 third jersey features a light pink base that recalls the castle's distinctive pink-harled walls. It is enriched by an all-over geometric pattern woven directly into the fabric using Macron's Eco 3D Knit jacquard structure. Anthracite grey covers the raglan sleeves, side panels, cuffs, and ribbed V-neck collar, highlighted with refined silver piping, while the club crest and Macron Hero are both presented in monochrome anthracite on the chest.
Bespoke details include a stylized graphic of Craigievar Castle printed inside the back of the neck, as well as the city's historic "Bon Accord" motto running along the inner silicone hem tape. Pink shorts with anthracite inserts and pink socks finish off the full uniform, which is manufactured entirely from 100% recycled polyester.
All-New Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Released
Inter Milan will have a dedicated name and number font for their new 2026-27 third kit in the UEFA Champions League, something rarely seen from the Nerazzurri in recent years as they have typically used the standard Serie A typography in Europe.
For Serie A, Inter use the standard league typography in Speed Yellow. In the Champions League, however, the Nerazzurri switch to a bespoke 1990s-inspired font with taller, sharper-edged lettering and numbers featuring a thin blue outline, matching the kit's grey.
Interestingly, Inter's 2026-27 home shirt uses the standard Serie A font and was worn in their first Champions League match against Real Madrid. The third kit, meanwhile, features a dedicated Champions League typeface.
Fans can choose between the Serie A and Champions League fonts when customizing the Inter Milan 2026-27 third kit on the club's official web store. This dual-font approach gives the European version a distinct retro feel.
Big thanks to What The Kit for the mockup!
Retro 1980s Aesthetic: Newcastle United 26-27 Originals Retro Collection Released
Adidas and Newcastle United have officially released their latest retro lifestyle capsule, dubbed the adidas Originals Culturewear collection. Taking heavy inspiration from the club's classic 1980s training wear, the collection was first showcased on first-team players arriving ahead of Premier League action before rolling out for Mags+ members and hitting general sale.
The range adopts a clean color palette of dark navy, white, and subtle light blue accents. A defining highlight across every piece is the use of Newcastle United's iconic circular 1980s crest—originally seen between 1983 and 1988—paired alongside the classic embroidered adidas Trefoil emblem. The capsule features a standout long-sleeve white jersey boasting a tonal jacquard pattern, a color-blocked zip-up track top, a matching navy hoodie, a chest-band graphic t-shirt, and straight-leg track pants. The lineup is completed by a matching pair of adidas Handball Spezial sneakers crafted in light blue suede with a gum sole.
Arnaut Danjuma Still Wearing Adidas F50 Adizero IV 'Battle' Remake Boots
Dutch attacker Arnaut Danjuma is proving that great boots never go out of style, as he continues to lace up in the reissued Adidas F50 Adizero IV from the 2014 World Cup Battle Pack. While most professional players frequently rotate into the newest generation speed models, Danjuma has maintained an impressive loyalty to the limited-edition retro release years after its drop.
The boot in question is the 2022 Speed Legacy Pack remake of the legendary F50 Adizero IV, which originally dominated the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil on the feet of top scorers like James Rodríguez, Robin van Persie, and Thomas Müller. The reissue faithfully revived the distinctive black-and-white geometric upper pattern with metallic gold three stripes, while modernizing the underfoot tech with the lightweight Carbitex Speedframe tooling borrowed from the X Speedflow.
Rosario Central 26-27 Third Kit Released
Rosario Central and Le Coq Sportif have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. Named "La Calesita," the jersey completes a special collection celebrating the centenary of the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, paying tribute to the ground's architecture and the vibrant atmosphere created by the club's supporters.
The Le Coq Sportif Rosario Central 26-27 third shirt moves away from traditional blue and yellow stripes in favor of a deep dark petrol base, accented by bright yellow paneling along the shoulders and sleeves. Running vertically down the front is a perspective graphic inspired by stadium seating, creating an expanding vanishing point that evokes the scale of the Gigante de Arroyito and the sweeping movement of the famous "calesita" banners hung by the fans.
Crafted from Jacquard polyester fabric, the jersey is finished with a two-tone V-neck collar, high-definition embroidered club crests, and a specialized authenticity seal that reveals UV-reactive Le Coq Sportif details. Dark petrol shorts and vibrant yellow socks complete the new Rosario Central 26-27 third kit.
Reggina 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian club AS Reggina 1914 and technical partner Givova have officially unveiled the club's new home, away, and goalkeeper kits for the 26-27 season. Drawing profound inspiration from the historical landmarks and archaeological heritage of Reggio Calabria, each shirt tells a distinct story rooted in local identity.
The Reggina 26-27 home kit arrives in the club's traditional amaranto shade, decorated with an intricate geometric graphic on the front panel inspired by the ancient Roman Baths of Reggio Calabria. Givova's white logos sit on the chest and sleeves, matching the kit's clean numbering and completing an all-amaranto look with coordinating shorts and socks.
For the away strip, Givova delivers a predominantly white design accented by an amaranto collar, side panels, and sleeve trim. The front of the shirt features subtle vertical band patterns drawn from the ornate mosaics at the Roman Villa of Casignana, accompanied by a retro 1990s-style club badge. Completing the set, the goalkeeper kit stands out in vibrant green, adorned with claret details and a striking circular motif portraying Calabria's traditional apotropaic masks.
