Liverpool Legend Robbie Fowler Shows Off Utterly Strange Nike Tiempo Boots
Jan 8, 2016, by Chris
This boot is really anything but ordinary. Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, whose career at the Reds began in 1984 as youth player, laced up in an one-of-a-kind pair of Nike Tiempo Legend V Boots in the Liverpool FC Legends vs Australian Legends match that took place yesterday.
Robbie Fowler Laces Up in One-of-a-Kind Nike Tiempo Legend V Boots
Close-up picture of the cleats used by the former Liverpool FC striker.
Based on the Anthracite and Volt Nike Tiempo Legend V Boots, Robbie Fowler came up with two ideas that make his Nike Tiempo Legend V Boots special. First, he blacked out all brandings of the boots to hide that his boots are actually made by the Swoosh (it even looks like that he painted over the branding on the sole plate). Second, his boots feature a really strange element around the forefoot area that is actually a tape that wraps around the forefoot area (for whatever reason it might be).
Apart from the unbranded look and the tape on the front area, the boots used by Robbie Fowler are the same as the regular edition of Nike's last generation Tiempo.
Definitely one of a kind and never seen before. What do you think of Robbie Fowler's modifications? Let us know in the comments below.
Barnsley 26-27 Third Kit Released
Barnsley FC and technical partner Oxen have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. The release serves as the final chapter in the club's "Toby Tyke trilogy," following the houndstooth-patterned home shirt and star-clustered away kit, bringing the beloved mascot directly to the forefront.
The Oxen Barnsley 26-27 third shirt is predominantly white with light grey elements and bright green trim on the v-neck collar, cuffs, and side panels. Instead of the standard club crest, the jersey showcases a redrawn vintage Toby Tyke mascot in a green kit clutching a football positioned centrally on the chest. An intricate, all-over tonal print covers the body and sleeves, repeating Toby Tyke and the retro "The Tykes" typography, which is also neatly printed on the upper back.
Created in collaboration with creative studio VFILES, club director Julie Anne Quay, and a lifelong Barnsley supporter, the shirt features centered black branding from Oxen and main sponsor The Investment Room, alongside Weston Park Cancer Charity on the sleeve and Parliament on the lower back. The look is completed with white shorts and bright green and white socks.
Annapolis Blues Let Season Members Choose 2027 Home Kit From 8 Puma Options
American side Annapolis Blues FC have launched a member vote to select their official home kit for the 2027 campaign. The club, which competes in both USL League Two and the USL W League, has continued its tradition of community-driven design decisions by unveiling eight distinct Puma concepts for their supporters to choose from.
The eight proposals showcase a wide range of looks while keeping the Maryland club's signature royal blue palette, circular blue crab crest, and adaptic chest sponsorship. The options range from modern graphic looks—including a fading chest burst, jagged side accents, and quartered two-tone blocks—to classic aesthetics featuring a navy diagonal sash with gold detailing, a bold white chevron, horizontal bands, and refined pinstripes complete with a polo collar.
Voting is exclusively open to 2027 Season Membership Holders, who received their voting ballots directly by email. In addition to deciding the official matchwear for both the men's and women's squads, members will also receive the winning home jersey alongside a commemorative scarf as part of their membership benefits.
Hartlepool United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hartlepool United and technical partner Meyba have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Directly inspired by the club's archives, the shirt serves as a modern reimagining of Pools' memorable 1995-96 away strip, combining unmistakable mid-nineties aesthetics with contemporary sportswear performance.
The Meyba Hartlepool United 26-27 third jersey features a striking split design. Its upper half is clean white, layered with bold angular diagonal stripes in red and pale blue that flow down into a solid red lower section detailed with subtle pale blue vertical pinstripes. The top is finished with a retro black polo-style collar that incorporates red trim and a functional zip neck. Additional bespoke touches include an embroidered ship's wheel crest, "Est 1908" placed beneath the outer back collar, and the rallying cry "NEVER SAY DIE" printed inside the collar.
Completing the nostalgic ensemble, local partner Camerons Brewery returns as the primary front-of-shirt sponsor, directly echoing the brewery's Strongarm branding seen on the original 1995-96 design. Matching red shorts and red socks round off the full kit.
Canberra United 26-27 Home and Away Kits Released
Ninja A-League Women side Canberra United has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, crafted by Australian sportswear brand Konqa. The partnership between the club and the Melbourne-based manufacturer enters its second consecutive campaign after Konqa first took over United's kit production last year.
The Canberra United 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's traditional bright green hue. It showcases a modern sublimated design featuring tonal diagonal brush strokes across the torso, paired with neat dark green and white detailing along the crew collar and cuffs. Gym chain Club Lime continues as the primary sponsor on the chest, positioned below a centrally placed Konqa logo and a raised silicone club crest topped with two championship stars.
Contrasting the vibrant home shirt, the 26-27 away jersey switches to a deep forest green base. It carries the same sharp graphic patterning sublimated throughout the fabric, finished with crisp white and bright lime trims around the neckline and sleeves. Supported by University of Canberra across the front, the new collection provides the capital club with a distinctive and cohesive visual identity for the upcoming campaign.
