Australia 2016 Olympics Home and Away Kits
Australia's new Olympics home kit.
The new Australia 2016 Olympics home and away jerseys feature the logo of the Australian Olympic team instead of the logo of the Australian football federation due to Olympics strict kit rules.
The Australia 2016 Olympics home kit is yellow with green applications. All green, the 2016 Olympics Australia away shirt has garish green sleeve cuffs and yellow details.
The most remarkable element of the new Australia 2016 Olympics jersey is the fact that they feature no Adidas stripes on the side of the shirt, again due to Olympics' regulations. Find out more here.

Nike Confirms Release of Gold Mercurial CR7 2026 World Cup Boots
Nike has officially confirmed the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, special-edition signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the American sportswear giant will launch a spectacular all-gold Mercurial specifically designed for the Portuguese superstar. This exclusive release is scheduled to drop just before Portugal kicks off their opening group-stage match.
The decision to equip the forward in a striking all-gold colorway is a deliberate and symbolic tribute by the brand's design team. Speaking on the upcoming launch to The Athletic, Nike representative Odinga Nimako, a senior figure at Nike’s global football footwear team, explained the specific reasoning behind the glamorous aesthetic. "The fact that Ronaldo is playing his sixth World Cup, we wanted to celebrate the legacy he has set and the way he continues to add to his legacy," Nimako stated. "And there is no better color than gold to help do that."
It remains to be see if Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the golden boots in a match - we expect him to wear them in training only.
