Extremely Bold Under Armour Clutchfit and SpeedForm Maryland Boots Revealed
Jan 17, 2016, by Chris
Is this the boldest Under Armour boot ever? The new Under Armour Clutchfit and SpeedForm Maryland Soccer Boots introduce an extremely bold two-colored design that draws inspiration from the flag of Maryland. The new Under Armour Clutchfit and SpeedForm Maryland Boot Editions will be exclusively worn by the soccer team of the University of Maryland.
The Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team was established in 1948. It represents the University of Maryland and competes as the member of the Big Ten conference, which is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in the United States.
Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Boot Yellow / Black / Red & Red / White / Yellow
This is the UA SpeedForm 2016 Maryland Soccer Cleat.
Boasting a two colored look, the Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Edition brings the famous design of the Flag of Maryland to the pitch. The right boot of the Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Boots boasts the black and gold design of Maryland's flag that represents the coat of arms from the Calvert line. The left boot boasts the white and red design that represents the coat of arms of the Crossland line. Under Armour combines the outstanding design with the usual brandings and applications.
While the concept of the Under Armour Maryland Boots seems to be identical to Puma's two colored-boot boot concept that was used in the 2014 World Cup at first glance, the both different pairs of the Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Soccer Cleats are even bolder as each pair not only boasts different colors but also an entirely different look, just as the flag.

This the Clutchfit Edition of the Under Armour Maryland Soccer Cleats.
Featuring the same concept as the Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Boots, the Under Armour Clutchfit Force Maryland Football Boot looks even bolder. Especially the red and white boot that features the Crossland line just looks stunning and is our favorite of the collection.
Tech-wise, there are two things that are quite interesting. First, the Under Armour Clutchfit Maryland Boot is not based on the second generation of the boots but on the first generation. Second and less obviously, the Under Armour SpeedForm Maryland Soccer Boot comes with the smoother upper of the 'synthetic-leather' version of Under Armour's Speed Boots.
Bold as bold can be. Would you like to get your hands on the Under Armour Maryland Editions (even if you are quite likely not playing for the team of the Maryland's university)? Let us know in the comments below.
T90-Inspired Nike Barclays WSL 26-27 Ball Released
Nike and the Women's Super League have officially revealed the official match ball for the 26-27 Barclays WSL and WSL2 seasons. Built on Nike's Control ball model, the design draws heavy inspiration from Nike's iconic Total 90 era, bringing a retro-infused visual identity to top-tier English women's football.
The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.

Outstanding CP Cacereño 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Spanish club CP Cacereño and new kit supplier Hummel have officially unveiled the team's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Marking the beginning of their technical partnership, Hummel has created two distinct custom designs heavily inspired by local culture and mythology.
The CP Cacereño 26-27 home kit features a rich green base dominated by an intricate graphic depicting dragon scales across the front panel. The design links directly to the club's release slogan, "No soy un futbolista, soy un dragón". White detailing is applied to the classic collar, sleeve cuffs, Hummel chevrons, and sponsor logos to complete the jersey.
The 26-27 away kit presents a half-and-half split layout featuring a white base paired with an orange front panel. The bottom portion of the shirt highlights a graphic illustration of the historic fortress walls of Cáceres alongside dragon tail motifs, finished with fine black detailing along the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.

Lazio End Polymarket Shirt Sponsorship Deal After Italian Regulatory Block
SS Lazio's front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with prediction market platform Polymarket has come to an abrupt end just months after being announced. The multi-year agreement, signed in April 2026 and valued at over 20 million euros, faced immediate trouble following regulatory action in Italy. The Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) placed Polymarket on its blacklist, classifying the platform as an unlicensed gambling operator and blocking domain access nationwide.
Following the ban, Lazio removed all Polymarket branding from their official website, club store, and team kits. The Biancocelesti took the field with blank kit fronts during their recent 26-27 pre-season friendly against Avellino. This rapid disappearance comes shortly after the club had finally resolved a three-year shirt sponsor drought that dated back to the end of the 22-23 season.
Reports indicate that Lazio and Polymarket are now negotiating an economic resolution to terminate the partnership. A financial settlement will allow the club to clear any contractual obligations and seek a replacement main sponsor before the 26-27 Serie A season kicks off.
