Alavés 16-17 La Liga Kits Released
Jul 21, 2016, by Pat
Spanish club Alavés, celebrating its return to the top flight this season, and Hummel today launched the new Alavés 16-17 home and away kits, both of which draw inspiration from the brand and the club's rich history.
Alavés 16-17 Kit
This is the new Alavés 2016-2017 shirt.
The new Alavés home jersey introduces a very traditional design for the club's return to the first division. Featuring the club's iconic blue and white stripes on the front, the back and sleeves of the new Alavés 2016-17 kit are solid blue. On top of that, Hummel re-created a collar that was worn by many of its teams in the 1980s, the brand's most successful epoch.
Hummel's chevrons run down on each side of the Alavés 16-17 home kit, and are also visible on the shoulders and on the front of the socks.
The Alavés 2016-2017 away shirt is crimson, inspired by the color of the wine that is produced in the Álava area and the flag of the city that is home to Deportivo Alavés. It is combined with black or white shorts, depending on the opposition, and white socks.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
