Adidas Euro 2016 Kits | On-pitch
Germany
Germany had a disappointing match away against France, with the 2-0 loss overshadowed by the terrorist attacks that shook Paris and the whole world.
Spain
For its first match in the new Euro 2016 home kit, Spain enjoyed a neat 2-0 win over England, cementing the holders' ambitions to retain the European Championship title next summer in France.
Belgium
According to Gianluigi Buffon, the Red Devils are one of the teams with the best chances to sweep the Euro 2016 title; and Belgium's convincing 3-1 victory over Italy did nothing but further strengthen these claims. The Belgium Euro 2016 home kit, expertly fusing the tradition and future, is surely worthy of a European champion.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Having its place for Euro 2016 still to be confirmed, Bosnia and Herzegovina played Ireland to a draw with a goal on each side. Still all to play for in the match in Dublin next week.
Wales
Wales, another Euro debutant for next summer, lost out to the Netherlands in a close five-goal encounter. The smart Wales Euro 2016 jersey is already proving to become a classic through its understated no-nonsense look.
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland kicked off its Euro 2016 preparations with a solid 1-0 win over Latvia, allowing the supporters to look beyond recent complaints about the style of the country's the Euro 2016 home shirt.
Denmark and Sweden who'll play it out for another Euro 2016 spot and Russia will all debut their new 2016 home jerseys by Adidas today. Stay tuned for more updates.

QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' Releasing Next Week
Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.
The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.

Norwegian Toppserien side SK Brann Kvinner have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, produced by Nike in collaboration with Unisport. The team debuted the vibrant new design during their away fixture against Lyn in Oslo.
The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front. The design honors Bergen's reputation as Norway's "Rhododendron City," known for the vibrant bushes that flourish in gardens and parks across the city. All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
