Sep 20, 2016, by Chris
New York City FC striker and former Spain international David Villa has made the switch from the Adidas X to the Adidas Ace in the last league match.
David Villa Switches to Adidas Ace 16.1 Primeknit Boots
David Villa previously wore leather Adidas X 16.1 boots.
David Villa's Adidas Ace soccer cleat is the same as the standard version of the Solar Yellow knitted control boot. Combining a Primeknit upper with a high-ankle design, the Adidas Ace 16 Primeknit boots are oneof the most comfortable boots Adidas has to offer.
David Villa previously wore the Adidas X 16.1 Leather boot, while he was a face of the Adidas F50 Adizero before the Three Stripes discontinued their speed silo.
Do you also think that the Adidas X cleat was a better fit for the former Barcelona striker? Let us know in the comments below.
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.
