Sep 26, 2016, by Pat
Nike today followed up the first three paint jobs of its new Mercurial Superfly V football boots with a predominantly purple effort that forms part of the new Floodlights Pack. Officially dubbed 'Purple Dynasty', the Floodlights Pack Nike Mercurial Superfly 5 cleats feature orange trim and will be available to buy from October 3, 2016.
Nike Mercurial Superfly V - Purple Dynasty / Hyper Grape / Orange
This image shows the striking purple Nike Mercurial Superfly 5 boots for the 2016-2017 season from the Floodlights Pack soccer boot collection.
Predominantly purple, the September 2016 Nike Mercurial Superfly V soccer cleats combine this with orange trim. The secondary color is used for all brandings on the Purple Dynasty Nike Mercurial Superfly 5 football boots, as well as for detailing on the new Mercurial's trademark 'speed-rib' 3D texture.
Additionally, this new Nike Mercurial Superfly cleat features a subtle gradient from the relatively dark Purple Dynasty at the back towards the more dynamic Hyper Grape at the front. The inside of the upcoming Nike Mercurial Superfly V colorway features a darker shade of purple at the front, too.
Like their predecessor, the Floodlights Pack Nike Mercurial Superfly soccer cleats aim to provide a sock-like fit with a knitted upper and heightened Dynamic Fit collar. The aforementioned speed-rib texture is worked into the Flyknit upper of the Purple Dynasty Nike Mercurial Superfly V 2016-2017 football shoes to improve ball control and touch in critical areas.
Additionally, the sole plate of the Nike Mercurial Superfly V boots has been completely reworked; it even is 40% lighter thanks to the use of Nylon instead of carbon-fiber. The stud configuration is also new on the Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 boot: all studs have the same triangular shape but are rotated differently.

Available from October 3, 2016, the purple Nike Mercurial Superfly V football boots retail at €290 ($300, £240).

Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
