Benfica 16-17 Home Kit
This is the new Benfica 2016-17 home shirt.
Like so many other Adidas 2016-2017 jerseys, the new Benfica kit introduces a simple design that sees the brand's iconic three stripes moved to the side of the shirt. Commemorating the traditionally red base of the Benfica 16-17 jersey are white details, such as the v-collar, the sponsor logos on the front and the sleeve cuffs.
White shorts and red socks complete the classic look of the new Benfica 2016-17 home kit.
Benfica 16-17 Away Kit
This is the new SL Benfica away shirt by Adidas.
The Benfica 2016-17 away shirt is black and comes with a monochromatic, red club crest. The same color is also used for the Adidas stripes, placed on the shoulders, as well as the sponsor logos on the front and the sleeve cuffs of the Benfica 16-17 away kit.
Black shorts and socks, both with bright red trim, complement the black Benfica 16-17 away shirt.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
