Adidas 'History Pack' Goalkeeper Gloves Released
Dec 7, 2015, by Chris
Adidas today revealed a special goalkeeper gloves collection to pay homage to three goalkeeping legends of the past. The new Adidas 'History Pack' is set to be debuted by Manuel Neuer, Iker Casillas and Petr Cech in this week's UEFA Champions League matches.
Casillas, Cech and Neuer will not only debut the classy Adidas History Pack Keeper Gloves, all three were also involved in selecting the historic glove designs.
Casillas, Cech, and Neuer were each involved in selecting the historic glove designs to be reimagined by Adidas. The players chose based on each glove's historic significance within goalkeeping, and the stunning retro design of the gloves.
The Adidas History Pack Goalkeeper Gloves use the technologies of the Adidas Ace Zones Pro Keeper Gloves. So we get straight into the three unique designs of the Adidas History Pack Goalkeeper Gloves.
Adidas 'History Pack' 1982 World Cup Edition
This is the glove that pays homage to the gloves worn by Germany’s Toni Schumacher.
Inspired by the Adidas 1982 Goalkeeper Gloves, the Adidas 'History Pack' 1982 World Cup Remake boasts a remarkable black and white look. Adidas breaks up the black and white look with striking red applications. Porto's Iker Casillas will wear the remakes of the 1982 Keeper Gloves.
Adidas 'History Pack' 1997 Kahn Edition
This is the Adidas 'History Pack' Oliver Kahn Edition.
Drawing inspiration from the gloves worn by Germany's legendary goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, the new Adidas 'History Pack' 1997 Remake Goalkeeper Gloves boast a classy design with remarkable bold Three Stripes. It's only logical that Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will wear the gloves that celebrate Bayern München's legend Oliver Kahn.
Adidas 'History Pack' 1998 World Cup Edition
This is the Adidas 'History Pack' 1998 World Cup Edition.
The last design pays homage to the World Cup winning gloves used by France's Fabien Barthez in the 1998 World Cup. Set to be worn by Arsenal's Petr Cech in the crucial Champions League match against Olympiacos, the Adidas 1998 World Cup Edition again mirrors the design of the original gloves while including the year when they became famous.
1400 pairs of the Adidas 'History Pack' Goalkeeper Gloves are available from today at selected retailers for a significantly higher price (160 USD) than the Adidas Ace Zones Pro Keeper Gloves (115 USD).

FC Bourg-Péronnas 26-27 Away Kit Released
French Championnat National club Football Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 01 has officially launched its new away kit for the 26-27 campaign. Produced by Danish brand Hummel, the new design follows the earlier release of the team's home shirt.
The Hummel FBBP 01 26-27 away jersey is built on a clean white base and highlighted by an abstract, contour-like linework pattern flowing across the torso in subtle pink and orange hues. A traditional polo collar gives the shirt a refined aesthetic, accompanied by Hummel's signature black chevrons across the shoulders and vibrant contrast trim around the sleeve cuffs.
White shorts and matching white socks round out the full Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 26-27 away uniform.

Subtle tonal floral illustrations run across the body, incorporating jasmine, alstroemeria, violet, and gladiolus inspired by player and youth academy drawings to represent friendship, trust, and strength, with dark green shorts and light pink socks rounding off the full strip.
